I am going through a Jimmy-nae-pals phase, so I'm considering heading to the hills and camping out somewhere for a couple of nights. Might have a wander through the Lairig Ghru.
We'll be at the Cairngorm drinking, listening to some choons and watching the fireworks. Wave.
The usual, eat lots of cheese, drink lots of wine, watch hootenanny.
I'm 99% sure I will be babysitting, so my bro and sis-in-law can go out.
The usual, eat lots of cheese
Not as much ******* cheese as me, thats for sure!
Im off to the e120 for a spell tomorrow for a week or so.
Least ill no get sea sick 🙂
Working 🙁
Working. Might treat myself to a blue red bull!
Early night so I can go out riding first thing
Cocktails....
Partying on the beach in Krabi with the family.
...watch hootenanny.
I really, really hope I'm not made to watch it again. Every year. Some years I've even chosen to watch it myself. But Dear God, why?? This year I'm determined to just watch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or something. There must be something better.
Hopefully not getting caught by plod pissing in the street.
Edinburgh. Street Party. [s]Woe[/s] woo!
After this year we never have to go again, I've been promised. So I can get back to drinking myself to sleep by 11.56.
I'll be over a mate's, selected malts, cheese, assorted ham, salami, Bath Oliver biscuits, Hootenanny...
Looks like there might be one or two people on there worth watching, ffwd through the rest.
Very similar- couple of friends, expensive wine and chilling.
Sod the expensive crap
Tour the town's boozers and then get to the market place by 11.50 with a bottle of fizz.
Early night with ear plugs in as I'm working 6am New Years Day, alarm going off at 0430 for the first cycle commute of the year.
Living the dream!
Cheese and Hootenanny over here. Or perhaps a take away curry.
Staying in.
Wife is working New Years Day, so 5am start. 😐
Last year we invited family round in the afternoon for a few hours, nothing formal just an invite to drop in if they wanted. That worked well for all as each went off to do their own thing by tea time. Nice chilled way to round up the year.
I quite fancy a sunset bike ride this year, to bid the year farewell.
Chance to put a dent in the bottle of Tennessee Honey & try out my STW hip flask.
Musselburgh fireworks, cocktails in, wander along Porty prom at the bells.
In bed. Never really enjoyed NYE. Planning on getting out early on the 1st on the bike.
Finish work (Days) 19:30 new years eve, start work (Nights) 19:30 new years day.
Ceilidh dancing somewhere up in Camden with wifey and one or two of her friends. Should be fun!
Watch fireworks at the Harbour Bridge, hit up a club afterwards and finish off with a boat trip at 3 am or something, lulz.
If I don't manage to kiss a girl I'll probably lock myself up for the rest of my stay in Australia.
Taking some friends to our place on the coast as we can park the cars and walk everywhere which isn't an option at home.
Will involve wine, food and a lot more wine followed by watching nutters going for a swim on New Years day!
Been looking forward to visiting friends in Cumbria for an overdue trip.
Stinking, snotty colds (our end) have put an end to that.
So prob sat in front of TV with a take-out Indian to blow it away....parp.
Working! Well off New year's eve, in 0700 New year's day and off the 2nd my birthday.
Going to bed at the same time i do most nights, 9pm, usually asleep by 10.
Early night if the local riff-raff will be kind enough to keep the noise down.
i'll be at work til 4pm, then i'll head home, try to eat some tea and no doubt get into bed to hide from the world as i seem to be doing most nights these days since my life went to shit a couple of months ago.
oh, and maybe hoping that this will be the night that i don't wake up in the morning too. and i'm not even joking.
Nice curry then back to a pals for some drinks and relaxing.
me n mar mate cycling to the top of a f off big hill above the city at midnight to watch the fireworks, planning a 40 miler ish setting off at 8ish via at least one pub on the way. Hope all the icey snow remains get lost by then.

Dude - seriously, don't do that. Find some friends, or family and go and get some company. Was in exactly the same position as you not so long ago and the (very) short term solution is to surround yourself with people. You won't feel like doing it now, but during and after you'll understand why you did it. DO NOT spend it on your own - trust me.
Herbivore YGM
Party with friends in Staveley
Herbivore - where in the country are you?
Was gonna say 'nothing' but now might ride to top of a Pentlands hill and watch the fireworks. Hmmmm yeah. Any edinburghers fancy bringing a hip flask?
Daughters 2nd birthday on NYE, should be at my Dads if everyone stops being ill. I usually ride over the Somerset levels up to the Mendips and back on NYD morning.
Hmmmm - that sounds like a half decent plan Jimmy.
Echoing jimmy, I've been scheming to pop up Clent and watch the explosions over the surroundings with an ale or two. I'm presuming that all the doggers will be having a night off - or will I be pootling through a fancy dress NYE extravaganza? 😯
It's that, drop into the all-night singalong the Buddhists in Cradley are having, or do some tiling in the bathroom. Or maybe all 3 if I get an early start on the latter. My alternative was a coke-fuelled rampage around Broad St in brum - I'd rather eat my own feet.
That's a brilliant plan Jimmy!
But next year for me. Street Party Promise is unbreakable.
I like your thinking Jimmy.
Party at a friends house with lots of others. Aim not to get pissed, will likely fail.
NYD is massive bonfire on the beach and lots of people bringing food and spirits down. Hopefully it will be cold and clear.
Flat jam, street party, safari lounge, first foot, hangover. My jaunt into the Pentlands will be either side of that lot. But I will have a hip flask.
Nuttin. Gonna come on here, see how many other sad gits there are.
Having friends and their kids round. 10 adults, 8 kids under 10. Kids to bed and then it's tiki mug time! And midnight means fireworks.
I'm borrowing a friends house at the mouth of Salcomb estury, with views up to the main town and out to sea, so it's lunch in town and get a bit pissed, get the kids to bed then drink vodka tonics with the brother in law while watching fireworks and coming up with hair brained ideas as to how the hell we are going to afford the place we are are staying in (£8m ish at last count!!!). New Years day will probably be a right off, but it's pretty much the same as we managed at the Salcomb week earlier in the year, but with added coats!
Working behind a bar helping you ****s get drunk.
Glass of Port and an early night.
Then a long ride on the bike New Years Day. And generally being thankful, a few posts on this thread have reminded me that it's been a good year for me. And it can easily not be the case so I'll make hay while I can.
Best wishes too everyone, here's hoping 2015 is a good year for you.
Herbivore - where in the country are you?
Manchester.
Working nights NYE and NYD so not much else really, but at least NYD's double time!
Laying under a blanket with the rest of the family full of flu
Mates having a house party so we'll probably go there and head to town after midnight to "sweep up the desperate new years crumbs" 😆
A drink at the pub, dinner at home and a movie, fed up with this cold/flu we've both had for 10 days now.
2 small kids in bed - me and the wife going at the remaining booze in the house, will crack the seal on the Ardbeg I got for christmas, I will probably watch some of the hootenanny but only if there is nowt else on (there won't be)
Going to Frankfurt to visit a 'friend'
Going to Frankfurt to visit a 'friend'
Sounds like a bit of a sausage-fest.
As Mrs O is at her parents, I thought I was going to be home alone all Billy No Mates this year but some lovely friends have invited me to go to theirs - v pleased.
going to a car key party at the playboy mansion...

Top of Mam Tor again for midnight.
@frosty - as Ian Dury with that there Rhythm Stick says "Das ist gut, ich leibe dich"
@ononeorange - that's interesting, the Mrs goes to her parents for NYE and leaves you alone - unusual ?
Sometimes I go too, but didn't this year. She is from the other side of the world and I didn't have the time off work....thanks for asking though, appreciate it.
Same as Christmas day: working! 😀
🙁
It's my choice; it keeps me out of the pub.
Ignoring the fact that I work in a pub. 😆
Going to Frankfurt to visit a 'friend'

That's the wurst plan I've heard yet
No plans, the wife has just been to farm shop for a pair of lovely Rib-Eyes for tea though. Doubt i'll be having a drink as I don't drink at home really. Although I may drop in for a pint in the local. Mostly though the wife will be packing boxes as we move out on the 2nd Jan lol.
We have travelled north or the border again so it will be a ceilidh tomorrow night. Did Newcastlton on the way up and have been at Glentress all day. First time for Fin, our Border Collie, she was a natural down Spooky Woods. She was jumping better than me but my forks weren't working.
I've bought some splendid whiskey (2 bottles) and will share it with a very small group of friends. We'll once again be in Harrogate and I'm so hoping it warms up before I get there.. I can't stand the cold up North.
We will venture over one of our fields and if it's clear shall do what we always do, toast the new year in on top of a windy remote hill in wellies, sipping fine fine whiskey.
Then trip over the leccy fence and set the cow alarms off..
Hoot

Herbivore - I'm not too far away in Rochdale if you want to grab a coffee on a bike ride?
Rusty Spanner of this ere parish once did the same for me when I was at a suicidal point in my life & it really helped. Having someone you don't know to be around , just for simple things can help.

You know loads of us on here and you've been through a lot of stuff before and can get through this again.
Thinking of you - bunnyhop xx
11 of us (5 adults 6 kids) goin to cineworld penguins of madagascar, then back to neighbours house for steak, fried onion rings with chunky chips then BEER. Eveyones a winner
Herbivore, stay strong. About this time last year I was feeling pretty suicidal too. Now I'm divorced and have a hot date for nye which I'm so excited about! You never now what's around the corner!
Out with the girlfriend drinking locally with anybody else who fancies joining us along the way. Will be an early start and an early finish, so probably out at 4pm and then a curry by 10pm and likely home before 12am.
Had a big night out clubbing already on the 27th so NYE will be pretty low key. In the pub on NYD for the football at 12.30 anyway.
I'm working News Years Eve 1700X0300. 😥
If anyone is in Settle, N Yorks celebrating, say hi to the local plod 😆
I'm then working on News Years Day at 1500X2300. Can't complain - double pay 😆 😀
Happy and healthy New year to you all..
Going with wife to climb a munro tomorrow, find a bothy and meet some friends there. Hope there are no bothy weirdos.
Alcohol, my climbing wall, lots of nerf guns and a bunch of mates.
Sounds like a recipe for disaster but the nerf guns is the only addition on top of last year
Should be landing at 10pm on new years eve, then join a ride on new years day, a 600mtr climb and then a good technical DH run after should clear the jet lag?
Most probably nothing, I'm on call from 8am New Year's day and don't want the hangover.
Cooking Brie and Cranbery tartlets topped with Red Onion marmalade at a mates house.
Will probably drive home and ride a bicyle on NYD either club hangover road ride or mtb
Never liked NYE, well maybe once when some ladies removed my shirt in a club but that was a very long time ago .
Out with her in doors then some top gear re-runs I reckon, the german one for starters will do 😆
