[Misc] New Years Eve celebrations
- Thread starter The Clamp
- Start date
Down to the local early doors to have a couple of drinks with mates, back home for 8 ish for a cracking meal, bit of telly, see in Midnight and off to bed. Most over hyped event of the year, people paying to go into a pub and everyone going out expecting it to be something different from a mass commercialised wallet emptying debt fest, that it is! .... or maybe I'm just miserable?
When much younger I used to go to Weymouth for NYE to meet up with some mates in the RAF. Everyone in the town would go out in fancy dress with water pistols and pubs were free to get into. Loads of snogs with random girls at midnight and a guarenteed bonk. Great times .... ruined now by commercialisation.

It's the biggest night of the year, towns heaving across the land with people determined to see out the old year and see in the new one in style, always a great night and one I look forward to.
This year we've got our good friends Polly and Giles down so we're going for an Indian banquet and then hopping across to the Volley to see in the New Year.

I’m saddened to hear that you’ve been reduced to having to pay for it.

Working. Not bothered.
May as well get it over with for the year, eh
For the year? Oh no. 6 or 7 months at best unless I'm good to her sister than it's good for a year and a half.
May stay up to watch the London fireworks on the TV, or I may not. Not fussed either way
Me or [MENTION=1416]Ernest[/MENTION]? Or maybe both?
Choices, choices ...... I'll politely refrain from either of you as Miss W is with us. Maybe another time
Children are now all old enough to be out doing their thing, so it's a nice meal for 2, Jools Holland's Hootenanny and bed

Ditto. Hate going out - contrived 'jollity', everywhere heaving, restaurants serving overpriced set menus etc. Bah humbug, will have a nice dinner and a bottle of something decent at home.

Hogmanay is where it is at! London should follow suit as their NYE is poor in comparison.

Not fussed with it being NYE, but in the past it's just been an opportunity to get a bunch of us together and have a laugh, which we do on most occasions. The London fireworks are always great, too. But we'll be away too this year, so doing whatever Mexicans do (or Americans who will probably be taking over the place!).

I'll be spending NYE as far as possible away from the once-a-year drinking numpties

Some friends of ours got married on 31st Dec a few years ago. Was one of the best celebrations I have been to and will take a lot to top it.
