Dear all,

Before 2007 finally packs its bags and shuffles off into history, I want to wish all our contributors a HAPPY AND SUCCESSFUL NEW YEAR and I look forward to another year of questions, debates, comments and of course the occasional spat in 2008.

Alan Townend

Happy New Year to all of the Eastern Hemispherians.

I suppose y'all in England just had your New Year a few minutes ago.

Very Happy, haha, who told you that, Tom? You know the 12 animals that represent every 12 years? Of course, the 2007 new year animal is Pig. This time (2008) is......

Who can fill it out? Very Happy

I was born in 1976, which was a Dragon year. I couldn't remember how many animals there are in the Chinese zodiac (or whatever the terminology is)

Hi all,
2008 is the year of Mouse.
We made the chinese twelve zodiacs as:Rat charm (子鼠,1984)--Ox patient (丑牛,1985)--Tiger sensitive ( 寅虎,1986)--Rabbit articulate (卯兔,1987)--Dragon healthy(辰龍,1988)--Snake deep(巳蛇,1989)--Horse popular(午馬,1990)--Goat elegant(未羊,1991)--Monkey clever(申猴,1992)--Rooster deep thinkers,(酉鷄,1993)--Dog loyalty( 戌狗,1994)--Pig chivalrous.(亥豬,1995)....Cyc.

So what animal sign were you born under?

Edwin
