New Year's Eve

This is how 2010 begins: with everywhere chucking out at two in the morning, no public transport and a couple of inches of snow still falling from the sky. People huddled in doorways for taxis that don't arrive, traffic and pedestrians struggling along car-width tracks in the middle of the road.

"In Newcastle girls braved the icy weather in skyscraper heels and mini-dresses and men took off their shirts to fight, while others lay helplessly slumped on benches".

Yeah, me too.
