me? I shall be at home with my wife, some whisky and a good film. Lamenting my youth and the days when NYE was the best night of the year, up to my eyeballs in illegal narcotics dancing till 4am and then chilling till about midday the following day before falling asleep for a day.
😀
sounds about right. apart from the narcotics, booze was bad enough
Having dinner in the botanical gardens in Sydney, should be good, only going to do it once!
Sounds like we are getting pissed with the neighbours again. We have great neighbours 😀
Few beers in a quiet pub, then back to my bro's house for a few more beers to see the year in and pen a list of resolutions longer than yer arm. 🙂
Staying in with my kid.
Probably watching The Godfather I & II (when he's gone to bed).
I'll be stuck at work 🙁
Bartending
Drinking and indoor climbing and silly card games.
Worked last year with no damages so should be fun.
Friends house with the wife and 2 other couples - curry and alcohol
Funny you should mention that. 😉
NYE I'll be travelling to do a sponsored swim at Saundersfoot in Pembrokeshire for Herefordshire Riding for the Disabled on NYD.
You can read about it [url= https://mydonate.bt.com/events/saundersfootfundraisingswim ]HERE.[/url]
Thanks.
Out for food, back home before 12 for a few drinks.
Road ride New Years Day 🙂
Working, In Afghanistan, again. Lol
Bartending
Ouch. Good luck!
Ride/walk during day. Will be asleep at midnight as have to be up early NY day for an 11 hour shift.
Depending on if i'm up for it/or in the fettle/can be arsed with the 200mile round trip i could either be at the Sub-Club for Andrew Weatherall or at St Judes for Funk D'Void/Bosco/Rebecca Vasmant - on the guestlist for both so i should really make the effort to show appreciation but to be honest my body & brain at the age of 41 takes so long to recover from a night of abuse that NYE with the excess and abuse that i know will take place is breaking me out in a cold sweat already...so i am undecided as to what to do?.........or perhaps i'll head round to a mates big house for his party but then again that will be more of the same - these days i actually enjoy waking up feeling refreshed on NY day rather than kicking the arse out of it till 8am then collapsing and taking 3 days to recover.
#boringoldfart&pipe+slippers+mugofhorlicks 😀
Fire will be lit, a nice Eau de Vie and no relatives or in-laws to keep happy 🙂
Forcing conversation with the potential inlaws.

this ^^^^^
*oh sorry that was another life many moons ago will be in a pretentious pub in Crouch end with the wife and few other socialites that think they are still young and hip...
Turning 40.
Seeing in the new year on top of Mam Tor
spending it at my son's with his new fiancé and her parents.
I hope I get manful in the next 24hrs......... 🙁
but you can look at the new fiancé and the mother...
First new year in our house , Friends coming round, dinner was bought yesterday , big ass brisket for the slow cooker from costco , a night in front of fire , beer, whisky and wine , followed by bike riding on nyd 🙂
but you can look at the new fiancé and the mother...
fiancé is 20 you perv.........mother is a vegan teetotal runner.... 🙄
fiancé is 20 you perv.........mother is a vegan teetotal runner....
20 is fine age...nothing perv about that...and the mother must be a RUNNER BEAN !
Working until 10pm if I'm lucky (longer if the bollox from 111 continues like past few days) and will have a quiet couple of beers and nibbles with the missus as I'm also working next day 🙁
We usually go round to a friend's house for a party but I suspect that our invite has been withdrawn for this year after I got pissed and argued with some people at a dinner party round there last week after one of them decided to shout at my kids (red mist time). Suits me down to the ground to be honest. The hosts are lovely people, most of their friends are pretentious dick splashes of the highest order. Instead we are going round to some other friends instead which will be loads more chilled and fun.
New Year's Day will be spent drinking excessively round a bonfire on the beach as the kids try and drown each other in the surf.
Finishing off the half-bottle of plonk from the weekend. Staying up to watch the first 15 minutes of Jools Holland. Moaning about how it's always a load of rubbish. Going to bed.
😉
staying alcohol free!
It'll be my first NYE like it.
I'm just going to treat it like a normal school night.
I hope I get manful in the next 24hrs
I don't think we need to know that ton, or do you mean manflu?? 😀
mother is a vegan teetotal runner..
Sounds a barrel of laughs, not the runner bit. 🙂
We'll be spending the night at home , get the kids in bed by 9ish then crack open a nice bottle or 2 to see the new year in.
Dinner and drinks with good friends for us, nothing too over the top as I want to be able to go out for a ride on NYD.

sounds about right but i will also be binging on cheese and going out on the friday night with the wife-kids at the parents so I can spend a hangover asleep in bed till midday!!!!!!!!!!!!
Twil be like any other sat night....kids in bed, wife asleep on the sofa, I'll be watching a geezer film
Beginning to look like I'll be home alone. Might nip into a local bothy....could drive down to Glasgow to be with the wife and in-laws, but nay thanks!
Quite like to be here, though:
Staying at a nice lakeside hotel in Hallstatt in the mountains of Austria. It's unseasonably warm though so unfortunately there will be no snow.
We're having a party....
As per the last few NYEs, we're off to De Panne in Belguim for some Frites, kite flying on the beach then a waffle or two. If it's raining heavily we'll then hop on the Coastal Tram, getting off wherever takes our fancy.
Kids (5 & 8 ) love it, as it's always very christmasy over there (not tacky as per most UK towns) and there's a place which does A4 sized waffles which they love to have a go at scoffing.
Euro Tunnel this year as the weather looked iffy, we usually take the ferry as the kids (and I) prefer it to saving a bit of time by going under the sea.
We're home tucked up in bed by about 11pm so don't have to feel bad for ignoring all the txt messages from people who seem to think sending a message to everyone in their address books is a way of 'staying in touch'.
Assuming this chest infection eases up a little: Riding my bike in the woods until early evening. Getting my caving gear ready for the next day. Then playing instruments with a mate or two until late. To bed after midnight to get up for caving.
Neighbours/friends house for a few bevvies and an array of food.
NYs Eve is the biggest anti-climax going IMO.
Working late shift then an early on NYD.
I might order a Pizza about 11:55pm and then when they show up shout "I ordered that LAST YEAR!!!!"
