The Daily PollA LOT OF people view the new year are a fresh beginning – a chance to try something new or give something up.
Many people many new year’s resolutions year in, year out, while others find them pointless or hard to keep.
So, today we’re asking: Are you making any new year’s resolutions?

Not “resolutions” but goals with meaning and purpose.
After reading comments on here for the past year and looking at the government and immigration policy my plan is to never return to Ireland… G’luck ya’s bleedin dopes…
@Giddy: wouldn’t blame ya
@Giddy:
You won’t be missed
@Patrick Nolan: But you see he will be missed, he might be a trades man, an engineer, a nurse, most likely a skilled person, and the goverment looking to bring someone like him home for shite pay, not going to happen, hes better off where ever he is, thats the sad fact.
@Paul:
I hope as referring to the attitude, and I employ tradesmen through my business.
@Patrick Nolan:
Not sure how the word hope got in there….
@Giddy: You’ll be back.
@Giddy: Don’t blame you at all. Stay where you are if you’re happy and content. Happy New Year!
@TellingItAsItIs: by midnight tonight he’ll be blubbing into his litre of Guinness in an Irish bar full of not Irish people somewhere, crying for his Mammy and the four green fields, planning his next trip to see Christy Moore in concert and talking wistfully of home and Mary O’Farrell, his old neighbour, the one that got away.
@Robin Pickering: On second thoughts, I think I’d prefer he stays. We’ve already got enough of those and they already live here.
@Patrick Nolan: Your FG mates and spin unit quick off the mark to up vote you there, good teamwork.
With so much effort being put into a more eco friendly lifestyle by various people I have decided to go the opposite way. I will spend 2019 causing as much pollution as possible. I want a personal carbon footprint as big as a small town.
@Bluey: You could start by burning yourself on a pyre :)
Yep, I’m rolling out the same ones as last year, and the year before, and the year before that, and….
Yes, not to waste time commenting on pointless polls on The Journal… DAMN IT!!!!!!!
@Mick Stafford: And you’ve already failed…
@Declan O’Neill: Whoosh!
@Declan O’Neill: solid burn!
@De Zach Same: *embarrassed smilie* #facepalm
@Declan O’Neill: are your irony and sarcasm switches still not working?
Be happy, work hard, surf barrels and smoke weed.
Yes…my new year’s resolution for 2019…is…to not make a new year’s resolution…fingers crossed I shall be successful…
Resolution: to be more tolerant of people’s comments here
Resolution,does it mean you have a solution to the problems you have,just because its a new year?
@Dave Walsh: Yes, and precisely because it’s a new year
I have quit smoking
@Marty Lawless: What? lol.
I’m ambitious. To smoke more, gain weight, be positive and spend more time with friends. I’ll probably manage two of those.
Mine is 3840×2160
No.
Is it even a New Year is you don’t make a resolution ? ?
@Deborah O’Lorcain: Wouldn’t know it was a new year only for being told.!! Every day should be an opportunity for new beginnings.!! New friendships, every day could be a ‘ Happy ‘ day rather than ‘Happy new year’ might not make it through the year, each day is new forget about the ‘ Year’.!!
@ÓDuibhír Abú: id say you are sound and all but I reckon you would annoy me if I was dealing with you on a daily basis
Yes.
No new years resolutions make me.
Just keep travelling the world. and making plans for the next trip. exausting.
