What you doing for New Years

[Vespa]

I loathe New Years Eve parties, luckily I live with someone who loves cooking so we're having a dinner party and my house smells great today as all sorts of goodies are being made. I've fuck all to do as I'm banned from the kitchen.

Never see the point of big NYE celebrations - always seems an anti-climax.
Off to Suffolk to have dinner (and lots of booze) with some friends, so should be a good night, anyway

I'm going to a dinner party tonight, and agree with other posters – 'going out' for NYE is so overrated!
Here's to the Roaring Twenties!

The older I get the more I detest it.

I had to do Time Square once, it was awful. When I was a kid New years Eve was good fun because the place goes bonkers for fireworks, which is handy because it is also with the highest suicide rate of the year, so the fireworks mask the sound of people eating their shotguns.

Why?

Anything that signifies the passage of time is detestable, a reminder of your own mortality.
Enjoy things in the moment like World Cups ,Ashes Tests and snooker tournaments, and General Elections (as long as the Tories are the ones winning).

Everything signifies the passage of time.

I'll watch Madrid at midnight [11-00 here] on a live webcam.
As the clock strikes we'll eat one grape per gong; although doctors have warned that for the over-sixties choking might be a problem if you eat them too quickly. I don't care; I laugh at danger.

That is the glass”half empty” approach.

Me, I look at those passage of time markers as sommat to be celebrated.

To live to see another day, week, month, year, decade even is a sign we have kept the Grim Reaper at bay.....at least until tomorrow


Happy New Year y’all.......and many of ‘em

The wastelands of Northern Europe.

Eating and drinking.

Going round a mate’s for a party with loads of food. Not sure what time it is though.

[delboy1983]

Going round to my eldest daughters with the wife and no doubt my grandson will be stotting about.
Some food, drink and through the bells them home.
Tomorrow's a bigger day, off too a big boozer to listen to my daughters brass band .They play modern stuff on this day and are excellent currently 3rd best band in Scotland and 37th in the world.
Good singsong and I expect to be carried home around 1700 hrs and put to bed..
