I'm in the Far East with some friends.
What y'all doin'?
Will it be a massive anti-climax?
New years eve, early to bed for an 07:00 flight to Geneva. Off piste week in the white stuff 😀
Ooooh, ya ****er. I'm liking that plan!
Helsinki for me with family, we flew down from a Christmas period in Lapland at the start of the week.
Home alone. 😀
gf's working til 8pm (A&E, glad she's not on the whole night too). i'm going to go pick her up then we're off to a mate's house in didsbury for a couple of hours. reasonably early finish though cos we're planning on a bit of a jaunt in the Peak somewhere on sunday.
Last day of 7 boarding in Zermatt, flying back to the UK the day after. Only slight fly in the ointment is that I don't have any accommodation for that night...
Cheers, Rich
big old training ride on sunday morning, so it'll be a booze free quiet one, really can't see what all the fuss is about 😐
Party at a friend's house, and then a group of us are hiking up onto the top of Conwy Mountain for midnight to see in the New Year. Really looking forward to it!
Anyone else in the area we might see you up there. We'll be the one's with the mulled wine 🙂
Not sure yet but it should involve alcohol. Theres been talk of a pirate-themed bar having its opening night on NYE.
Why not match the new trends of Chinese lanterns and fireworks on new years eve and combine the two.
Shooting down Chinese lantens with rockets 😆
Dinner with some friends and an uncertain amount of alcohol 🙄
Have fun in the east dd
Mrs on nights looking after poorly kids, me in with stepson & I have control of the telly. At least 2 full NHL games to watch, with beer. 😛
turboferret - you can bivi in Geneva airport, assuming that's where you're returning from?
probably watch a bit of telly.. lurk on here for a bit maybe and go to bed around 10..
living on the edge baby
Re Chinese lanterns: I'm in Ireland atm and a chap from the AAI was on the national radio news with a firm voice and a warning to ring a certain phone number before you launch your lanterns.
Basically you now need air traffic control clearance before you light the cuties up. Somehow I dont think they've thought this one through.
Otherwise - will be with family (basically lots of puking kids atm).
10 of us at a mate's house in Somerset. Fancy dress theme is People from the History of Britain. Big meal and a keg of west country ale (that's 70 odd pints between 5 blokes, the girls will be on the Lambrini). Then climb up Glastonbury Tor the following day to, ahem, blow away the cobwebs. Cannae' wait!
Top of Mam Tor in the Peak District at midnight.
Me and the Wife. Bottle of Champagne. Cheese board. TV.
just staying at home (playing my new telecaster 😀 drinking coffee (as i'm teetotal nowadays)
Here this year But being the crappy weather and the bloody cold
Looks like it will be our last year of our festivities in London.
Mrs wants to have all our Christmas's and New Years eve's
from now on in our place in Alicante spain
and certainly gets my thumbs up.
Have a good one where ever you are 😉
Knees-up at the local Miners Welfare Club with friends to see in the New Year then daughters and their partners all coming round for lunch on New Year's Day.
I'm spending it drunkenly with someone I love.

Madam Palm and her five daughters ?
I think al means he's spending it alone. 🙂
I don't give a rats arse about New Year personally. Forced Celebration and a big anti-climax seems to sum it up for me.
So, tomorrow morning I'm off to the Forest of Dean to try out the new Blue run with my better half. Then we'll have a few beers and a Takeaway tomorrow night and spend most of Sunday giving the bikes a much needed strip down and clean/grease.
Good weekend for me.
No chance of an early night here. More fireworks in MK on NYE than on bonfire night. And the bell ringers give it loads from 1145 to about 0030. Bedroom is about 50 yards from belfry with direct line of sight !
Actually all rather pleasant.
That sounds legendary fervoured.

The simple things in life are always the best. 😉
Home alone, and early to bed, no doubt. Not really any point staying up to midnight on your own. And it's just yet another ****in year!
I think we'll find out what all the fuss is about in Oz this time. Not quite Sydney, but I'm assured Adelaide's fireworks are passable. Oh, and no beer - it's my turn to drive 🙁
Working at the taste of tasmania. Fun times.
Away with work in Australia, taking in tonight at surfers paradise, TV here saying Sydney about to have biggest fireworks display in the world...
Staying in an unlit shepherds shed on wheels in Wales.
Working from now til eleven tomorrow... 😥
Party here at midlifetowers, probably about ten sleeping over, couple of dozen coming along. Friends, neighbours, work folk, family. No lanterns though, don't like them. Bah humbug.
Heading over to see the New Year in with friends and friends of friends. We'll stay the night there, with an early wakeup certain as between us all we've got nine children under seven!
There will then be walking. Slow walking.
dd - the far east = Suffolk per chance 😉
Me and Mrs. S will be staying in with takeaways and wine. I HATE NYE.
Away from the hills in London with family, Hampstead Garden Suburb Fire works tonight.
A villa in Matemwe,Tanzania. It's nearly half five in the PM here,and we're about to have an early dinner and start on the booze.:)
Monsieur Starship, correct. Suffolk.
Can't be arsed with all people milling around, the expense and pissedness going out to Town. Round to see the folks, take dog out, watch telly in front of the fire and eat loads, go bed, get up early for work. Just another day really, no big deal.
home, with a couple of friends, massive takeaway curry. wouldn't want to be doing anything else really
I don't give a rats arse about New Year personally. Forced Celebration and a big anti-climax seems to sum it up for me.
I agree, totally over-rated in my opinion, and personally would rather forget about this year.
I will be at home with my little girl, watch a good film and have a good bottle of wine with my new g/f.
No doubt the city centre will be rammed with very drunk people...... That's not for me anymore!
Off out for food but to be honest I'd gladly stay in, am exhausted and feeling rough. We've now offered a bed to someone who will want to be out til gone 12 so looks likely I'll be having a late one. Feel the need for a nervous breakdown and an early night really. 2012 has the potential to be a pretty shitty year I've decided.
Stockholm with a few mates, should be good, a balmy -4 degrees tonight.
Drinking cold beer and eating cheese. Early night as organising fell race tomorrow am. Happy New Year to all.
