Not a fan of New Years Eve at all. I just treat it like any other night. Some years I've gone to bed early. I will stay awake for 12, but to me it's just the passage of time.

I find it a very reflective time of year and I also always get a little sad

Most of the time, I end up going to bed early, I just can't be bothered, I used to make more of an effort and go into town but these days, I don't see the point of paying 10/20 Euro to get in somewhere and then queue for 20 mins trying to get a drink..

I must be getting old :eek:

+1, I'm spending the next hour writing down the sh*t of 2010 that I want to leave behind me, the stupid sh*t of 2010 that stops me being positive and getting on with things, at 11:30 tonight, I'm going out to the field behind my house and sitting down in the middle of the field and burning all the paper I've written my probs down on, and I'm coming back in this door in 2011 with a new vigour and a lot less problems...

Woke up with a bit of a cough this morning. Medicine on the way, non-drowsy sort, will see how I feel later on. House party if I'm able.

I woke up with "a bit of a cough" on Tuesday. Today I've spent the whole day on the couch dying. Coughing, sneezing, fever, headache and drinking whiskey.

You're doomed, DOOMED I tell thee....Happy new year

Just sitting in, probably having a few pints, maybe a movie or playstation or something. I just don't think I would have the energy to go and mingle with people that I see probably once a year that I don't really like, in an over crowded night club that charges 5.50 for a pint of Heineken.

Why bother with that when I can crack open that keg of Heineken that I got for Christmas. Sure it always comes out half head and half beer, beats queuing for 20 mins at some dive to just have some nob knock it out of your hand and attempt to walk off through the sea of people and oders.

I'm making the right choice.

Couldn't agree more... I'm wondering though is it just an Irish thing where you find yourself confronted by 20 Euro door charge thrown up for the privilege of waiting 30 minutes to be served a pint that is 10-20% more expensive than it is on any other day when the same venue is empty?!?!?

Battery about to die.

I am done till next year. Keep safe all.

Staying in too, and better off imo.
I'm French and do miss the French house parties though : a table full of friends, major food fest, with nice wine a-plenty, silly retrospective programs on the telly, but good happy ones, not the gloomy type you get here. The ones where you see that time when a female reporter spoke on unaware there was a well hung donkey trotting after his Mrs Donkey in the background, or babies playing drums, brides falling into a pool ... things you've seen a thousand times, but with the wine you still find them hilarious, or if you don't you can b*tch and moan about it .
What's on the box tonight ?

edit : and good champagne that didn't cost an arm and a leg with proper chocolatey chocolates.

In and prefectly ok with in. Spending the night with people I cant stand, being charged high price for the privilage and the nights highlight is 12!

Haven't gone to the pub here for quite some time, knew prices were high but blimey, definitely making the right choice to stay in, get in your own drink, no crowded pub, much better

psycho-hope

im sitting in too, tho ive to make the starter and desert for dinner tomorrow so that will keep me occupied

It's the most over-rated night of the year...

Big ol' anticlimax (that's what she said!)

HxGH

I'll be taking it easy myself. I'm not one for new years stuff.

Sofiztikated

Working til at least 11, probably closer to 12.

Will then decide if I want to go to

A) Bed, or
"Party" in Fiance's sisters house.

I have a feeling B will be crap, but I'll be the biggest ****er if I don't go.

Oh, and if I do go, I won't be drinking, as I'll be dessy then. (Dessy Gnated)
