New Years Eve

AppleBottle

What are your plans? (If any?)

I'm going for dinner and a few drinks with my boyfriend and then back to our apartment early enough. We will probably watch a movie or something.

Just off the phone to a couple of friends who are coming over to us for the night. A good old chat, a few drinks, nibbles, sandwiches, cake etc and pass the night in pleasant company.

I am going to sit here on boards and watch whatever **** is on the telly. If you can imagine such a scenario.

King George VI

Is it David Attenborough?
I'd just sip a drink and watch him doing commentary on my dog and birds all night.

NYE is boring, I've tried enjoying but never 'got' it. I much prefer Christmas Eve, that's a magic day and evening.

No, he's at home.

He's doing well though and sent a very appropriate Christmas card.

Staying in, hate new years eve out, will watch a film then head outside around 11.55 to hear the church bells beside us followed by the neighbour, whose usually p*ssed, shout happy new year to nobody

Between fighting for a place at the bar (and having to plan it at least 15 minutes before everyone else needs a drink or keeping an eye on the obstacle course to get to the bar and thinking I can get in there) in the hopes the barman may notice me, beside the drooling woman who has had too many WKD's and thinks knocking everyone else out with her flailing arms will get her served quicker, and then to be charged a fortune for the privilege of being served by his graciousness

or

staying at home with a few friends round, good music we enjoy, drink we can afford (may even put a few pizzas on!) - served as and when you want

Tough decision...or maybe I'm getting too old

Usually spend New Year's Eve at home with my husband feeling bored as we have been let down by friends too many times now. However, this year, we are spending it with my friend and her husband at their house and I'm so excited!!

I did it last year, didn't go out for the first time in years and it was actually nice for a change!

Unfortunately true for me too. I'll be counting down to the next break I have off work come Tuesday. :pac:

Unless you let them down and then...

I haven't been out on New Years Eve in years. It would be too manic for me. Himself and me will cook something lovely, open a bottle of champagne, eat chocolate and that's it

When you're in your late teens/early 20s you feel that you have to go out to a busy bar. That it's some how a sin to stay in. But after a few, you realise that come 12:01am it turns in to just another night out but the pubs are mental and getting home is a nightmare.


Been there done that. I would rather just stay in.

You seem happy about that, Personal Issues that way ->

We always have my best friend and her boyfriend over. We watch the big fat quiz of the year, play games and eat Chinese food.

Really looking forward to it

Haven't went out for years on NYE because it's a disaster (IMO) when you live in a city. We alternate between having friends over for dinner and drinks (or vice versa) and just sitting on the couch with phones and drinks (that's what happening this year because we'll be away). Suits us.

Junkyard Tom

In my sealed bunker waiting for the collapse of society. Tins of beans and pasta everywhere, it's fantastic and you're not invited.

Berserker

Can't go it at all. Will sit in and watch the television with a few drinks. Will probably log on here to mock RTE's offering for a while, before ringing in the new year with the Beeb.

fussyonion

I've had actual flu this Christmas. Bed-ridden and all. Now I'm better we shall be sipping pints but just in the local pub, a mere five min walk away so no need for cabs. Normally I'm happy staying in but I'm looking forward to a pint now I'm better.

bear1

First new years in 3 years that we go out.
Parents in law babysitting and we are off with 2 other couples to an nye event in a hotel.
3 course meal with a free bottle of vodka per couple and music till 5am.
Misses can't drink cause she's pregnant so no taxi worries for us

Mountainsandh

Haven't gone out for NYE in years. Hardly go out anymore at all anyway.
We have a renovated shed where we have parties with friends and family, NYE is for the friends night !
Nothing organized yet though, so if the friends have their own thing planned, we'll probably have a cosy night by the stove on our respective devices. We don't have a telly anymore, well we still have the tv screen, so we could set up RTE player on it for the night, but considering how bad the previous NYE shows were I think we'll just pass on that.
I miss the French variety/tv bloopers/retrospectives/silly programs on NYE.

AllForIt

New Year is the one event in life that I can connect with. Unfortunately the occasion has been hijacked by Christmas, an occasion I have no affinity with at all.

By NYE everyone is wasted, shopped out, spent, and I always feel the whole new year celebrations are never what they should be. I don't mean ppl don't put effort into it , they certainly do, but there is always a weariness about it that wouldn't exist if it wasn't for xmas.

justfillmein

i'm being bullied into going the NYF dublin, and i'm half dreading it.
I'd rather be home in the fleeces:(

bazz26

Couldn't think of a worse night to be out in a bar to be honest. Much prefer to either go to a house party or have friends over to see in the new year.

The very thought of having to battle your way into a full bar, maybe pay an entrance fee for the privilege. Battle your way to the counter to eventually get served, battle your way back only to get your drinks spilt bumping off people who have already had too much to drink, join the long queue for the toilet and then try and find a taxi home afterwards. No thanks, the novelty of that wore off when I was in my 20s.

Beanntraigheach

I'll usher in the New Year in my usual way:
At midnight I'll strip naked, smear my body with a mixture of honey and toothpaste, then go tramping through the woods playing jaunty tunes on my bagpipes till dawn.
Great fun.

DEFTLEFTHAND

I think we've all had enough of xmas now.

NYE is the final night the tree lights in my house. Looking so forrward to throwing it away and taking down all the tacky 80s sh1t decs my partner put up.

Estrellita

I haven't been out for New Year's Eve in years, there's no appeal whatsoever. I will be at home with my husband and our children.

I will serve up some food and have a few drinks with Mr Est to ring in the New Year. I suppose I enjoy the count down because I feel a sense of renewed hope. I don't care if that seems corny, after the year we have had I hope for a less eventful new year. While 2017 had good points, it's been very tough.

Loveinapril

I hate NYE It always seems bizarre to me to cheer a clock. We would usually stay in or go to a house party. We have a 6 week old baby now so I am delighted to have a proper excuse to stay in and be in bed early. If the fireworks wake him I'll go fukkin mad!

biko

Going to spend it in a country pub.

Trebor176

I will probably end up staying put. I have thought about going to Sam's on Dawson Street with a group. But thinking about it, the place will be rammed, as is the usual case. That, and the fact that taxis are difficult to get.

Cutie 3.14

I'll be working, someone's gotta do those pesky night shifts.

Noveight

I'll be at home with the girlfriend. Have spent the last few New Years in different pubs and nothing appeals less to me at the minute. Watch a film, ring in 2018 and toddle off to bed. Happy days, my dudes.

Anyone who is looking forward to the madness of a crammed bar/pub/club on NYE needs their head examined. I’ve been there and it’s sheer hell. Pretending to enjoy the night but wishing you were somewhere else.

Long in my past now thankfully. I’ll be having a quiet night in, some nibbles, watch Jules Holland’s show on the Beeb as usual and avoid RTE like the plague. The fireworks in London on TV will be as spectacular as ever.

Happy New Year boardsies!

CB19Kevo

Working just like every other NYE.
Not bothered in the slightest,Would have went to a relaxed house party or have a few drinks at home if i was off,No way in hell would i go near a pub or nightclub on new years eve.

GoneHome

Out early evening for a meet up with OH and friends and family, home then about 9, nice food and a few drinks avoiding the mayhem of the pubs tomorrow night

PTH2009

working early 2morrow but might try and find a quite pub and have a few. might pre drink a bit at home to get the edge off. might go to the bathroom or leave at the famous midnight (Auld La sang or whatever the hell that song is), can't take sitting there like a pleb when everyone else is kissing and all that lol.

tbh I just want it all to be over and we can get back to normality

sjb25

Working 8pm to 8am night shift tonight so I’ll celebrate in work

Bottle of vodka, plenty of taytos and a collection of mods for Rimworld I haven't tried yet.

I think New Year died a death the time of the millenium when they tried to charge treble the prices for everything i.e. publicans, hoteliers, taxi firms etc.

They gave the kiss of death to their own businesses on New Year with their greed.
