[Drinking] New Year's Eve

[jessiejames]

Hate Christmas and new year. Working NYD, trip to Nottingham and hopefully back (weather and traffic being good). £400 bonus, stupid to turn down.

 

[The Oldman]

Happily go on the Seagull Travel bus from Seaford hoping for an entertaining evening of football. Home around 9. If we have had a stonking draw or heaven above a win, then I shall watch whatever match highlights are on with a few wee drams. If we lose a few wee drams and bed. Doubt if I will be awake at midnight!

Might get home by 2300 depends how quick we get out of Bridge Street Car park

 

[CaptainDaveUK]

I’m in London for a few days, going to a West End matinee (Hamilton), then watching the Albion on the box followed by a few drinks with family. Really looking forward to NYE this year. UTA.

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Away in deepest darkest North Devon so it'll be a nice lunch out, film and a few drinks during the evening and in bed by 11. Really can't be arsed to celebrate NYE nowadays.

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Is Andy Stewart still on?

 

[crodonilson]

It's New Year's Eve!!


Already anticipating the big countdown to midnight and jubilant celebrations, there's nothing quite like it.

Whatever you are doing tonight, enjoy, it's always a special night and Mrs Crod and I wish you all a happy and prosperous 2023.

What a load of old killjoys.

If you can't go out and let your hair down and enjoy yourself on New Years when can you. Should be an absolute hoot.

Because any other day I can walk into my local pub without having to pay a tenner for the privilege

 

[atomised]

if everyone could get out of the Amex sharpish at full time so my daughter can head home from her stewarding shift that would be great, missing the game myself as had already booked meal with my mother. after that home and get the house party going and wait for daughter to get home

 

[SteveU]

Not a massive fan of NYE, never really have been.

Perfect night for a game of football for me, sons out early so taking my daughter to her first game at the Amex, she’s buzzing and so am I.

Then it’s home to see in the new year with my wife and mum. If I can get out of the car park by midnight!!

 

[happypig]

I really don't like going out on NYE, loads of people determined to have a good time, even if they don't enjoy doing it. Pubs full of amateurs (you know the sort, orders guinness last) and dickheads.
I will be watching the game on TV, having a couple of Long Man APAs and catching the last two episodes of Slow Horses.

 

[Recidivist]

Was a bit undecided about going to the Amex tonight given timing and lousy weather but had a row with Mrs. R this morning about her re-arranging the house at midnight last night and stuffing up the cabling for the TV and Alexa so I’m off to see the lads stuff Arsenal instead!

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Tip run
Decorations put away
Chinese pre ordered for 20:00
Drinks Fridge stocked
Accas on

Think I’ll watch Man City Everton / abit of soccer Saturday before the 17:30 KO and it’s live

Not optimistic about seeing midnight

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Well it's just another Saturday night in my view. Nothing special

 

[Jimmy Come Lately]

Amateur Night? I'll leave it to the amateurs, once I'm back from the match.

 

[CHAPPERS]

I just cannot face throwing myself on the public transport nightmare for the Arsenal game, so I'm donning my BAD FAN cap and watching it down the local. I'll mince straight back to my armchair after the game and order a curry. The doris will be back from work by about 8.30, so we'll tuck in to the takeout, and channel-hop the rest of the night way in the warm, with some grog, in a pleasantly pickled stupour smugly remembering how f***ing relieved I'm not battling my arse back from the game.

What now?

 

[WATFORD zero]

Just back from a late lunch with Mrs Wz and son having had a delightful duo of sussex lamb with a couple of glasses of Syrah followed by Eton mess. Get ready and then off to the Amex with my son (only time we get to go together last few years, boxing day or new years eve).

An Albion win, a few pints with the highlights, back home, a snack and couple more wines during Jools, ready for Ms Wz's video call from Oz. Lovely way to spend NYE

 

[GT49er]

I shall try not to drink too much as I may need to drive tomorrow. At midnight I will open my front and back doors to let the old year out and the new year in, then I will pour myself a small whisky and take it out in the street to toast the new year with my neighbours - I will wander around the middle of the road for a few minutes (it's a quiet cul-de-sac) and not a soul will come out. Then I'll go to bed and hopefully dream of more exciting New Years Eve celebrations in years past............

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Mostly sleep until I'm woken up by some idiot setting off fireworks.

 

[Brovion]

What a load of old killjoys.

If you can't go out and let your hair down and enjoy yourself on New Years when can you. Should be an absolute hoot.

I'm with you Crodo, we've got an absolute BELTER of a night planned. We're starting off with a pasta bake made with the last of the Christmas turkey and ham, all washed down by a nice red; then the fun really starts as my grandson and I are going to play with his new remote-controlled dinosaur. We'll probably watch some Tractor Ted to see in the New Year (well 8 o'clock), then go to bed tired but happy.
