Me.

Why ?

i never used to but now its just a pain in the backside

It just seems like a load of bollocks to me. If you don't have that sudden urge to go out and celebrate the changing of a digit on the calendar you are accused of being a mardy mustard, yet when people get to their destination, they complain about the crowded bars, lack of transport, price of admission, inability to reach the bar, etc, etc. It's just boring, overpriced nonsense. Why do we need an excuse to go out on the piss with our mates, and why would we pick the day when any every other mug in the country is doing it?

Woohoo, let's celebrate it being 2008, what a monumental occasion. In fact, let me pay for that privilege of experiencing the turn of the year in all its wonderful glory. Feck that, can I celebrate it next week when it's free?

or get a carry out turn the light on and open the door

I agree with you, just wondered why you had a dislike for it.

The whole festive period is now just far too commercialised for me - too many people/companies out to make money ( and sometimes a hell of a lot of money )

That's what companies are meant to do though.

I don't see the point NYE myself, it's just another night really!

i used to love NY

i would work over christmas so i could get NY off

but everyones married now

and i dont like getting pulled up and down steps into peoples houses by people that are pissed

so a quiet night in for me if anyone comes knocking at the door they will get the offer of a wee dram

I'm not questioning why It's celebrated, I'm just getting very drunk. Also new years day im going to the races which i've never done before because i don't gamble (except play poker).

spot on Snoops, I hate the whole thing and that F***in song that everyone sings at midnight gets right up my arse.

Having said that I am actually going to a hawaiin night at my friends but given the choice i would be in bed at half nine.

Can't say ive ever had a memorable 1...

Modern new year is a bit of a joke tbh, I have fond memories of when i was young and at my Gran's house, The kitchen and sitting room tables would be laden with snacks and fingerfood, the front door would be wide and welcoming to the world, and the atmosphere was phenomenal.

These days however its seems to have moved away from that once a year even where family, friends and neighbours come together to celebrate the passing of a year ( bad or good), Unfortunately community spirit and family bonds are not what they used to be, and its a sad sad decline in my opinion.

These days it seems to be a choice between overpriced trendy bar / club or street party and freeze your nuts off and get overcharged for small watered down measures.

Quiet night in, wee dram at the bells, kiss to the wife and i might get lucky when the kids are asleep, I have to say it beats the alternative.

My ideal New Year this time round involves:

junk food
beer
sofa
Heroes DVD boxset

No ticket necessary.

Never been a huge fan myself, only decent ones I have had have been with Harmony.

Let's all play the Blonde NYE comp and abuse Ironfish, maybe he will last longer this time ?

the thing that annoys me is those out once a year twats that make pubs too busy then get too drunk too quickly and ruin house parties.

tbh tho most weekend nights are like new year anyway just without the aforementioned twats.

  roll on next saturday when all the part timers are back where they belong.


have a good one!!

New year is fine as long as you got something to look forward to and no loss to be reminded of. Hogmany is a wonderful time in the right circumstances:)  Happy new year when it comes everyone:)

I get to shut the shop an hour early tonight so new year and me are on good terms.

I don't "hate it", but I don't celebrate it either, I'm the same with chrimbo. I'm a solitary soul, quite happy with my own company, & I especially dislike the company of loud boorish drunks, so I generally stay at home alone on NYE, & it's just a regular night for me. I'm a bit weird, I pretty much think every day of the year is Christmas Day - except Christmas Day!

Each to their own.

But a Happy & Healthy New Year to one & all.

not a big fan of it..."yay, time still works!"..WTF?..the wife actually told me I can't go to bed around 10 though so I guess I'll have to put up with it..just another night with crap telly IMO.

Me and the wife are going out for a quiet meal.New years day is usually a big day in Scotland,were cooking for all the family which will be hard work but it will be nice to have all the family together,because it doesnt happen all that often.

Life is so much easier when you don't care what other people think.

helpful tip ..

at about 8.30 forward all clocks to 11.15pm con the kids into thinking it is now the run up ... set your mobile alarm and tell them that its midnight .... get them to bed, open JD have a few nips and do your best to get into bed by 10 past the real midnight.

Job done.

genius!..now if only I could work out how to change the clock on the DVD player I could fool wendy  :)

Never celebrated it before as never really had anything to look forward to!!

But 07 has been a very strange year and to be honest i'll be glad to see the back of it (split with my girlfriend of 10 years who i shared a nice house with to now living in a house share with 4 people i've never met)

But 08 is gonna be alot better i feel, as of the 4 total strangers in my downscaled living i have fallen in love with one of them (yes it is a woman) and we have some big plans for this year which i truely hope come off.

So even if you don't celebrate NY i'm wishing you all the best for 08

Blimey, what a depressing lot!!
New years eve is awesome, best night out of the whole year.
You get to meet up with your pals, the only night of the year when everyone actually shows up, get drunk, loud and boorish and nobody cares.
Then at midnight you get to kiss all the fit birds (maybe a little grope too), HEAVEN!!
All in Fancy dress again this year and the girls are going as cavegirls wahoo!!

Happy New Year all!!!
Even the mardy mustards :D

Just another night to me , same as any other night .

Spending time with drunk, loud and boorish people.....   Ugh!!

Kissing and groping drunk, loud and boorish women.....   Ugh!!


Regards

M Mustard.

I'm not a fan of NYE I offered to have my kids tonight to store up a few brownie points from she who used to be obeyed. They'll stay up with me (Popcorn and DVD night I think) as a treat but 2 of the 3 will fall asleep before midnight, best guess!

Our front door will be open and family and friends come and go as they please.  It's kinda of the 'base camp' for everyone on the night, but we don't call it a house party, as such.  Some head to the pub for an hour or two before midnight and others just land to ours.  Kitchen is packed with all kinds of nibbles and snacks.  We'll have a decent stock of alco and non alco drinks, but most usually bring something to add to the stash.  At midnight the front yard is packed with children and adults while hubby and I do a fireworks display...weather permitting.  After that, we just chill out with whoever is here.  Kids in the sitting room watching movies or playing the wii and adults in the kitchen playing darts or cards.  No fights, sloppy drunks or unbearable crowds.  Just a handful of families (and the odd stray) enjoying the night together...bliss!!!

I have to do what my other half wants, which could mean a loud boorish party with boorish drunks, all of whom I won't know. Ugh. I wish I could stay in with tikay and talk about trains.

Sounds like you need a holiday...

wouldn't say i hate it - but then since the millenium i've never been out on new years eve. We used to do a pub crawl of about 10 nearby pubs and then finish it off in our local but then since the millenium every pub used to start charging people to go so for someone who doesnt drink there's no way i'm paying £5 or £10 a time just to go into a pub to have one glass of orange juice.

Also the last few years the pubs near us seem to have been taken over by the youth of today who are much more interested in getting plastered on 6 cans of special brew first and causing trouble in all the local pubs - not like in our day!!  ;whistle;

So as i cannot spend this new years eve with the one person who i would want to welcome in the new year with then i'll be spending the first night at my new flat with no TV, no radio or no internet connection. Praise the monkey gods for the primate who invented the PSP..... :D

Yes, somewhere like the Bahamas would be just the ticket. A Beagle can dream.

I have never seen the sense in going out over the New year or Christmas period, I just like to be with Darren and this year Reece. I really do not care if people think I am a bore as to be honest I am rather like Red and dont give a monkies uncle what people think of me. But saying that I still would like to wish you all a a great start to the new year and what ever you all decide to do on it, enjoy..xxxx We will as we have just been told we can bring Reece home for the night.

Nice result, blwyddyn newydd dda xx

That's BRILLIANT news!!!  Absolutely DELIGHTED to hear it!!!

Careful what you do with my Uncle Kong, he's quite large!! ;)

Glad to hear your new year is off to a good start - hope its carries on into 2008 :)

lol send the NYE party.

Boring gits.

Wonderful news Maureen x x

Last year I spent new years eve in Vegas and tried hard to enjoy myself. It was not that great. Best thing was the fireworks at midnight across the strip. Worst thing were the thousands of people with stupid hats on and those noisy uncurling whistle things which really get on my wick. The next day I discovered my boyfriend was sleeping around (now there is a surprise  ::) ) and it took all my control to not throw his lap top off the balcony of the thirtieth floor. Looking back I should have done.  :D

This new year I am packing, downsizing due partly to the financial situation my ex left me with. I am moving from a large detached showy property to a two bedroom flat and I am looking forward to it. Never thought I would (I thought I was more materialistic than I actually am) but I'm looking forward to making it a real home, my last house was never that. Property wise I'm going back 10 years but I'm better off than before. I may have less money in my bank account but I'm richer in friendship and I have many more laughs now than I did a year ago.  

New year is good, however you spend it, because it's another year to enjoy life - hopefully on your terms.  
Now - who do I have to sleep with to get a sponsor?  rotflmfao

Congrats!

Just for the record, the loud boorish people we will be spending the evening with are my two brothers, and the packed sweaty venue that Snoopy has invented in his mind is in reality my flat, where one of aforementioned brothers will be cooking us a melanzana parmigiana and funnelling wine down our throats. Perhaps we will make it as far as someone else's house party, perhaps not. Beagle ate a dissatisfaction pill thinking it was ibuprofen...

Zip it you, those arrangements were made about 10 minutes ago! You've blown any chance of nookie now.  ;tracet;

I'm with tikay, there's nothing worse than spending the night with incoherent drunks. I have no qualms about anyone else doing it, it's just not for me. A meal with Dana and her brothers with a few sociable drinky poos afterwards sounds great.

Top man snoops.

I recall, years back, when I was into relationships, Christmas, New Years Eve & Birthdays were living hell - the expectation that we "had" to go out, go visit bland boring relatives, watch Christmas TV, and NYE was far & away the worst. I actually am sympathetic to those who need to drink alcohol to enjoy themselves, but as beings, they change their whole personna when they are bladdered. I recall, as a teenager, the laddos had those "ooh, it's Friday, I'm gonna drink 20 pints & get legless" thing. And the chirps next day always amused me - "I drunk myself silly, 10 pints, was sick over the bird, & can't remember much else, & I felt shite for 3 days afterwards". And I'd say, "oh dear, & I missed out on that"......

Each to their own.

Life is good, & it'll be even better tomorrow - and the day after, & the day after.

humbug

Yup, I'll settle for that. I'm a Happy Humbug.

Don't forget to take your bucket of cold water into '08, you'd be lost without it. ;)

Pretty sure nookie went out the window a few quotes ago, but don't quote me on it.   rotflmfao

I bet you loved being around me, cupcake and Brian then eh Tony. Now that I cannot drink I have to admit that seeing how people change when they have had a drink is a real eye opener. I dont dislike drunk people full stop but some people's entire character seems to have a breakdown and they lurch into almost a prehistoric mentality and feel the ned to either disagree/argue with everyone or beat their chests in some show of strength.

Anyway, I apologise for spoiling any of your previous nights out. :)

I dont know about that Laxie, in our house those quotes would be called foreplay.

I actually adored you,. Brian & Cupcake when you were all bladderd, because you were funny drunk, not loud, rude  & obnoxious drunk. But I admit, I prefer your Company when you are sober, because we can chat like proper grown ups.

I shared a cash table with a man called Hyder recently, he was pissed as a fart, but HUGE fun, & he did that thing that drunks do so well - stated the bleeding obvious. At 02,30, he falls off his chair, Padraig-style, & all his chips - £2k+ worth, fell on the floor too, they were everywhere. He is laying there, on his back, legs akimbo, totally stripped of all dignity, but then he went & said something that had the rest of us falling off our chairs, too.

"Look, I just fell off my farking chair".......

lol brilliant, I have to admit I prefered talking to you when i was sober too, at least I remembered how you ended up with all my chips.

Well after a few scares, I've got through another year,who'd have thouught,after I was written off at 19. Hay I felt so well that instead of seeing the new year in watching the new year rubbish,on my own on the telly.T  he kids  have always gone partying.
So this year,I decided,to drive up to London,to see the fireworks............
It rained, it was so crowded,l coulldnt g et anyware near,and ended up watcing the display on the telly at the acoor hotal  by lambeth bridge....... but at laest the smoke hung in the air.
Never again...
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE

Brendan, you're mental, but I love you.

Happy new year.
