The cliche New Year article

There would be no New Year without people making resolutions to lose weight or change their life around one way or another. You probably wouldn’t be surprised to hear that around 8% of the people who make those resolutions actually stick to them and follow through. Why on Earth? Well, that’s simple.

And with these events being so few and far between, what’s the issue with a day off to watch your team do you proud? Continue reading “Support for Sport” →
