Are you going out tonight?

GritBiscuit

Going to a friend's, rather than pubbing and clubbing "out"...best of both worlds - out the house, good fun and also BYOB - yay! :pac:

Because you can't go out without a tan in an Irish December/January!

It's a bizarre Irish phenomenon. Girls from other countries don't get it and think it's the weirdest thing.
I live with 2 nz girls and they think it's so weird.

We live in Ireland. You're meant to be white.

I'm not heading out tonight, this will be the first year in about 10 years that I haven't gone one.

Yeah going to the local with family its a bit of a tradition to spend new years with family I don't usually drink much but I'll always have a drink with my mam and dad on new years you only get one set of parents so I'll always go out to be with them

You'll notice the difference
Come 12:30am you'll be thankful you didn't go out.

I saw tinted moisturiser in your bathroom last week!! :rolleyes:

DopeTech

Secretly delighted my friends are all either staying in, working or away. Looking forward to a beer or two tonight and then when I wake up in the morning I'll be fresh as a daisy.

Pay a visit to Whitley Bay, Newcastle. You'll see 40 shades of pale over there. Doesn't matter what season it is either.

Don't think so. Crowded bars/clubs do not appeal to me. Will stay in and watch TV with himself I'd say.

Might get a pizza in the pub down the road (Fran Well in Cork...they have lovely pizza!).

All my mates are gone out to the other side of the country.

Jeez, that's a fairly extreme length to go to, just to avoid you!

beertons

I went out for smokes. Home now.

Tigger99

Having a party in my place. Just got the last of the nibbles, pizza and prosecco. Cannot wait. It's been a great 2016 and Im looking forward to seeing in 2017.

What are the chances that I got sick a few days before, its a conspiracy!

Staying in with family for the night and better than the madness that will be in town..

Hammar

House party with 25-30 people,know all of them well,good people, will be a great nights craic.

Olishi4

Not going out. We are making lots of food, going to watch Jools Holland and im not sure if im bothered or not to have a small few drinks tonight. Im still contemplating it. Hmmmm!!!!

That_Guy

I was invited out but seems like a lot more hassle than anything. Spend half the night trying to figure out where to go. Spend the other half complaining about where you ended up because it's "too busy/expensive/crowded/long a wait to grab a drink".

Doesn't even begin to cover the battle for taxi's home. Nightmare.

I'm happy enough to chill on a few homebrews and play the Playstation in all honesty.

A wonderfully positive post, Happy New Year!

Loveinapril

I went out on the p!ss for the day and am at home now, in pjs with a proper sized glass of wine and sh!te on the tv. I hate NYE!

MadYaker

I'm going to a gig and then a house party it's a sh!t night for going to clubs or bars

nice_guy80

Just decided. Going for grub

Maybe a drink.
Exciting times

We weren't out at all over xmas

newbee22

I'm staying in. I usually go out for NYE but always regret it. It's too busy and impossible to get a taxi home :mad:

GreenFolder2

Nobody I know is going out ... So I'm having a boring NYE.

bobskii

nope haven't been out in about 12 years on nye.it's a brutal night out.either night before or night after are better nights out.actually new years day is a good day to go for a few.

learn_more

The type of night you can have on NYE can very much depend on where you live.

When I lived in London I recall it was so hideous and overpriced that for years I would work that night to avoid it all. Sky news are drumming up NYE in London, but in my experience it's a hideous place to be.

In the medium sized irish town I live in now, nowhere is extremely packed or has too much of hectic atmosphere and thus can be quite enjoyable without having to spend too much money.

Edit: I'm def going stout tonight.

Spanish Eyes

So I am home from the local pub now.

Went at about 7.30 and it was very quiet. By 8.15 all the glam rockers and young wans had arrived. Gas looking at the clobber.

By the time we left it was heaving.

Glad to be home TBH. Being young once is enough!

If you haven't been out in 12 years how do you know it's a brutal night??

bobskii

Because the 15 odd years before that nye were shyte so if they hadn't changed before that I doubt they have now.I've been taxi for family for a few of them and from what I've seen nothing has changed.

Phil.x

No, I hate this day, all ways have.

king size mars bar

No never go out on New Years ,just had dinner, finished off the ****e from Xmas and heading to bed in short, no one tell me I don't know how to rock out on New Years

The Moldy Gowl

Going out on these nights really depends on who you go out with.

Spanish Eyes

Oh and Happy New Year to everyone. Haven't a clue who you all are, but my sentiments apply anyway.

XavierBoThang

Myself and my sister feeling pretty smug right now, sat on the sofa with a glass of bubbles, looking out at the lashing rain

Already in bed, wife sound asleep beside me. Good night and happy new year

JupiterKid

Staying in. My going out days - especially at New Years - are long over. Don't really miss it - places too packed, rip off prices, impossible to get a taxi home etc. But I do like to stay up and ring in the new year and watch the fireworks in London on the telly.

Happy New Year all!:)

Playing chess with the missus and taking a valium.

Poxy fireworks. Now have to listen to house alarms for the next 4 hours.

They'll run out of them soon. I'm sitting in tonight. The missus went for dinner and drinks with her girlfriends and is welcome to it. I'm happy enough at home watching stuff I like in peace.

B.A._Baracus

I really am glad I am not out tonight because right about now the pubs in town are closing and the nightmare begins.

After years of going out on the night I find you really appreciate things when you don't go out.

The Moldy Gowl

Town was thee same as usual last night if anyone was wandering.
