Reasons to be cheerful in 2006

Hi
Just some random things to look forward to:
The Football World Cup - here!
The Winter Olympics in Turin
Depeche Mode not only playing the Olympiahalle but also confirmed for Rock im Park/Rock am Ring
This? Especially if the remaining members of the two groups get their fingers out and join in.
The new Belle & Sebastian full album
So what are you looking forward to in 2006?
