Well, here we go again, it's January baby. Grey, miserable, cold, pointless, decorations have to come down, everyone takes up running for one day, resolves to be a completely different person and then gives up.

Get in losers, we're making this the best month of the year! Subscribe to the Nobody Panic Patreon at patreon.co...
