Death of two people associated with this site - Motherwell and Cheeky Monkey. Both way too young to exit this mortal coil. RIP.
Re-order and Digital taking this cover band lark a tad too seriously and thinking there might be something in this split malarkey. 
Hooky's bitchin' on his blog.
Can't argue with the first two, although I'm sure we'll get to see the twibs continue in some guise. And there's always Transmission!
AHW is a real loss. I don't mind admitting that it hit me quite hard.
Although it's been a pretty grubby year for me personally, I've been so much in need of cheering myself up that it's actually been a year that I'll look back on fondly, despite all the crap I've been through (I'm getting divorced, for anyone that don't know).
Belgrade will never be forgotten - what a laugh. Corby, Amsterdam and the Scottish festivals we made it to. The Confusion signing was great, if only for the photos. Me and Roy took a Lear Jet to Tranmere - classic entertainment.
So what if the lows have stunk? Bring on the New Year and bring on more of the good times!

Shit. AHW. Bad oversight on my part.
Er, you sure all the rest of stuff should be listed on the lowlights thread, Col?! Belgrade?! 
Splitting with the ex and working out a settlement / mortgage was my definite low-light.
Much the same as above really, cannae believe Cheeky Monkey and Motherwell passed away so young, I have to add Phil O'Donnel to that after yesterday's tragic incident.
The same can be said of AHW. Glad we went with the design for his badge and not the TWAT badge. Looking back, a few people wouldnae have seen the irony.
Not getting away anywhere this year, espescially with the Viking Hordes was a real bastard as well.
It's safe to say I need some cheering up, so I will be doing ma best to save for a Viking holiday abroad this summer 
And I hope to fcuk our favourite two tribute bands do not split up, I would love another gig in Corby 
Apart from personal stuff,the only lowlight for me was not making down to Corby for the re: order gig,
I tend to try not to let things get to me if i can,
Life goes on as they say....

Was just saying that I really needed cheering up this year and a few things did just that.
I suppose I was reporting the lowlights by exception: everything apart from those few events was utter shit (joke).
i need cheering up too.
still battling with myself on a few things but overall getting better.
sorry to hear some of you are getting divorced. marriages don't seem to last too long these days.

2007 was absolute crap all around. Everything from a miscarriage, torn achilles, death, and things falling off the house.
2008 will be absolute paradise.

sorry to hear about a miscarriage, that's always a sad thing to deal with, my mom had one as well...:(
notable deaths that made me sad as well were for Hilly Kristal (of CBGB's fame), AHW, Kurt Vonnegut, Lee Hazlewood and the murder of Lucky Dube.
Thanks, just when you think life is turning for the best, it goes all fucked.
But 2008 will be better! It will!

not me, and he keeps refusing to lie under the patio ... :D
Joking aside, I'm saddened to read such misery. Sorry Henn to read about your miscarriage. As for the splits, such a shame. I've now been married for 20 years, 9 months and 1 week. Hasn't exactly been plain sailing all the time but we've always managed to overcome our differences and difficulties, and after all this time I can honestly say Deek is still my best mate. Have I just been lucky?

No. You two are just fab together and really well suited. Happy New Year Sweetie!
Can't remember a whole lot...
Management shift in August, just days before big inspection in September.
Sitting in a Crew Trainer before I left for Indiana and at the point when Manager Mandie says, "Hey Sunny, how come you're not a manager yet and you've been a Trainer for about 3 years?" I lowered my head and just cried--made me feel kinda worthless.
AHW's passing in August too--RIP Sir.
Hooky's bitching on his blog...
The break-up back in August [damn, August sure wasn't my month now was it?].
Best bit besides that damn Crew Trainer meeting: turning 24 in October, and I'm already facing a quarter-life crisis!!

Have a guess......
On a more serious note 2007 was a real shit year for me. Janes mum was terminally ill, her decline has been so painful to watch and i've not coped with it very well. It's clouded everything...
love to everyone on this site and Happy new year (belated)
Betty M 1935- 3/1/08 RIP xxx

Not really much to say there, though that does suck. :(
*hugs* Many condolences, mate. Hang in there.
