New Year - Who Hates It?

[NoflopsHomer]

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,

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

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!!  

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.....

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

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.

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.  

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?

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. 

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.

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.
