Anyone not doing NYE?

Me. It’ all too commercialised now, people have forgotten the true meaning of it all….blah blah!

I’ve been to my parents today and drank all afternoon, now 4 night shifts from hell and alcohol have caught up with me.

Will be up early to try and get a double parkrun in at 9am & 10am.

A double looks unlikely/ambitious in my part of the world but I hadn’t realized some locations run events on NYD. Might have a trip to the Bolton one as out seems to be the closest (15 ish miles)

In fact. I could ride there. 😕

P Jay….. Was at millennium too
… Load of absolute ****. Had to que for ages to get in… Then again to buy the vouchers for booze. Not to mention the cost of the limo there. The illegal taxi back was fun too…. Booze, knives, pissed blokes and kebabs not a great combo.

I’ve had a cracking new years eve. Work gave me the morning off for free cos my new bike had arrived so did 18 miles round hayfield.

My gf moved in yesterday and cooked an awesome chicken and tarragon pie while my daugter and I dug in to the trenches for a nerf war. Sorted.

Both of us in bed. Her watching Netflix … Me sipping some Ardbeg browsing Internet and looking at that Chinese TT bike frame on EBay…

Quiet evening with Mrs TJ and Mini TJ and dog. Open fire blazing, writing drivel here and just not wanting to do much. Bike ready for a spin in the morning, after enjoying the frozen ride today, will be definitely covered in crap tomorrow as a lot warmer tonight and lots of defrosting. Happy days…….. Have an enjoyable evening , whatever you do.

I evidently nodded off a couple of hours ago. Oops. Plans remain similar though, I’ll go for a ride at 11 and watch the fireworks from atop Clent. Presuming I’m all enlivened afterwards, I’ll pop down to the local Buddhist centre for a chant at 3. NYE, like works do’s, spoil a night out by prescribing Fun (not that they can’t be fun, slammin vinyl/atomic jam in the early 2000s were ace) but my contrary soul makes hard work of it. Out for a do with friends on friday when hopefully the world’ll still be too poor and hungover to jostle me.

As with a couple of others on here, 2014 was my nadir. The sooner it **** off the better, 2015 has the smell of potential.

Crappy Flu Year in the Malvern’s household. Feel like have a giant turd sitting on my chest and every muscle aches. Only just recovered from the last pre-xmas bout, sod this for a game of soldiers. Had a fun ‘family and friends at the pub’ night planned too…

Night cancelled for us. Need sleep. All the best everyone, hope you puke in someone’s best shoe.

Grumplestilstkin.

Im on shift on an oil rig in the north sea. Not even a 0% for the bells on this rig.

No new year here

Might just stay up to see it in ……. Just about to watch a film on Netflix …. Don’t feel any burning desire to celebrate anything

Bottle of Red, Goldeneye on telly. Fire on, looking at road cycling gear on the net. Sorted. Keep me away from.

Jazzfm on, sipping vintage port, mrs asleep! On settee next to me.

We are 46 and allowed

Eyeing a Yokomo drift chasis on ebay…

Tucked the wife up in bed & I’m just waiting for a big slow cooked gammon to finish 20 mins approx and I will be off to bed as its the one day of the year I struggle to stay up past midnight?
Need a clear head and an early start as my mother is coming over to help me De-clutter the house.

Everyone’s gone out. Peace and quiet. I’ve got all the lights off apart from the Xmas tree, the dog is asleep at my feet, I’ve got an amazing IPA and a Laphroaig next to me and I’m watching series 2 of The Wire. Absolute bliss.

On call, been busy few days too so in bed and heading for some sleep soon unless the phone goes.

Getting over the lurgy also on the single malt watching 3:10 to Yuma may venture out as the neighbours meet on a bridge on our housing estate to pop a few corks and fireworks but to be honest I can’t me arsed and dislike fireworks, if the family go I will force myself so they won’t call me a grumpy git as per usual.

Was going to celebrate new year until this morning. Had a cracking one upto now, but this morning discovered an unwanted pregnancy! And to the one person on this site who knows me, it is with the wife, ( but please don’t tell anyone ). ! All my plans for the future have been ripped out my grasp! Happy new year all. Hers to more mountain biking 🙂

4 year old daughter finally fallen asleep on the sitting room floor. Looks like Mrs North has dozed off too.

We had fireworks earlier. And I’ve drunk various boozy things. Might go and get that new run out of the garage….

2014 was a year of great change on the work front, and 2015 is make or break for in my new career. My daughter also started school and seems to be happy there. Just need to finally get on with the planned house extension this year and see if I can help Mrs North make the next step in her world of work.

Happy New Year to you all – may 2015 bring everything you wish for….

I’m enjoying the bloke from glee with queen ATM on BBC 1. Happy new year to all.

Had a quiet place be after family cried off a small gathering with illness. We watched Gravity with a couple of bottles and really enjoyed it… Bed now.
Bit of an anti climax thing for me…

Happy new year! Bad signal on BBC’s fireworks display or just me?

4 child minded adults all the kids in bed miss Millie’s and Xmas chocolate just watched the fireworks now for a film and bed

on my own, so a book, some tunes and a glass of red. slightly spoilt by the neighbours letting off 10 mins of fireworks in the garden opposite.

Happy new year all! Carried on the theme of 2014 by starting late and then getting lost around the streets of Clent (it looks different in the dark!) When the fireworks started I switched to plan b. Overlooking stourbridge from the bridleway near racecourse lane. Nice views, a bottle of squash and spitting distance from where I grew up. I’m content.
All the best for 2015 STW

Happy new year, I’m hammered. Quite a pleasant night all considered.

Now, bed, or see it through?

I thought the roads were busy round here in the evening when I went for a ride. Presumed it wsa preparation for the folloiwng nights NYE celebrations.

Went to bed early, trying to get back into work mode, and the missus woke me up just after 12 to say happy new year, told her to stop being stupid it’s tomorrow night.

Well it looks like I was the stupid one and I have one day less holiday left as well.

Bollocks

2 hospitalising bike crashes and a cancer diagnosis, goodbye 2014…. 😐

Drunk and miserable, cant wait for the hangover.

Working night shift in the middle of the north sea, not much of a NYE but I’ve not really cared for it in years anyway.
Did get facetime working (wifi in accomodation area is generally iffy) for a 20 minute chat with the other half over the bells, so that was pretty good 🙂

you are me ? what you on ? – E120 here off the GEAD weatherdeck.

ironically it was my other halfs internet that let down face time so i managed to find an unoccupied phone for 20 mins .

Golden Seagull? I can probably see you from here – work on the Buzzard platform!

It was the only time I’ve ever had facetime work out here, so was chuffed when it worked after a few goes!

Aye the golden seagull im not here often , im just a lowely 3rd party completion engineer

all ways brightens up a day does facetime.

20 minutes to go

Was in work and just going back in after a call out. Happy new year all.

My wife’s in work at 07:00 so I said we would stay in. Opened a bottle and put a film on, fell asleep to be woken by fireworks at midnight. Possibly the most boring new year I’ve had… Off out at the weekend instead.

V quiet NYE (taxi service for kids) but lovely to wake up with no hangover. Long run now…..

A teething child and a stomach bug for me meant bed at 10:30

Best New Year’s Eve ever
