We' going to see in the new century from underneath a kotatsu. Do we have any regrets from the last one? Well, we should have grown taller. Our resolutions for the next 100 years are to find other Martians here on Earth.

I'll spend the new year in New Zealand, Nepal (walking in the mountains) and Indonesia. My biggest regrets are that people have polluted the world so much. Also I'm not fond of all the new technology, like computers. I resolve to stop eating chocolate and be a better person; help others more and show a positive attitude toward new things.

We'll see out 1999 somewhere in Japan. Our one regret is that we didn't get to the moon before the age of 21. Our hopes for the next century are to have a happy-ful family and to see half of the world with them.

Play for time

Time flies when you've been having too much fun. It's the end of the century (yes, we know, not technically, but for all intents and non-pedantic purposes) and a new start is just around the corner. A new year, a new you. Yeah right. One thousand more years; one thousand more good intentions. Our answer: No regrets; just pause for thought. And first, play for time - party like we're ending 1999.

I'll pass the year end in front of the cash dispenser machine making MONEY, MONEY, MONEY! What do I regret? Not making enough MONEY, MONEY, MONEY. This next century will see me spending some of this hard-earned money.
