    I have a few friends over there because I have spent a lot of time there for work. I sent them good wishes yesterday. I wouldn't say I celebrate it. I might order some Chinese tonight, just to do something different. God, I hate lockdown.

    Not tonight but I’ll pick up a Chinese on Sunday, will throw a bottle of wine over the counter and wish them well then.

    Throwing a bottle of wine at them will be classed as assault methinks

    It’ll be in one of those gift bags. With the mask on they could never really know it was me.

    My boss is Chinese. She's booked some time off. That's about the height of it for me.

    Its not Chinese new year, It's Lunar new year. Juts happens to be the Chinese that are the nation with most people who celebrate it.

    Nope. I find the Spring Festival to be extremely boring. Celebrating one new year is enough for me.
