[Closed] What will you be doing on NYE?

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.

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.

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.

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 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!!!!"

I'll be spending it with the inlaws. Well, you know what they say, if you can't spend it with friends spend it with family. No, nobody has ever, ever said that. 🙁

Massively hoping this ferry sails tonight so I can go mates' live band in the pub.

Working NYE and then NYD.

Thought I would be a miserable old fart here and say do nothing, but seems I am not alone at staying in with the wife and son. Daughter is out working in a restaurant, so wont be home sober. Bike ride NYD in the morning, off to friends in the afternoon. Always used to be with friends down the road, but fancy a quiet one.

working a night shift managing a police custody suite, so hoping (for their sakes) not to meet too many revellers!

NYE been "meh" since the millenium, either worked it or been knackered from working earlier that day and usually in bed before the chimes.

Decided i'm not heading up to Glasgow for Sub Club or St Judes as i couldn't partake in consumables as i'd have to drive back down the road so.............., heading to a mates country house/basement with my sound system and lasers n' lights n shit and gonna get twisted all out of recognition instead, I've just got a new KRK 12s subwoofer this morning from a sale nd it sounds massive so its gonna be a good night.......... big fish...little fish,,,cardboard box...etc...etc.... 😀

Working too,oh joy will be home in time to watch the rugby on nyd though 🙂

Watching the Adelaide Strikers play the Perth Scorchers in the Big Bash T20 cricket league at the Adelaide Oval. I'll still be drinking beer just in a stadium rather than a pub... I think i'll see in the new year sat on the train on the way home.. Bike ride on NYD or if hungover a swim in the sea.

Sitting outside the camper van in the setting sun on a packed, happy campsite on the east cape of the north island. Big day of swims, 4h ride and baby wrangling. Few beers, some champers and an early night hopefully

After one too many Sloe Gins last night, I'll be sleeping.

having a few friends round the bar opens shortly 😆

Working but only until 7 tonight (haha finishing on time what a joke) then back in tomorrow. That said tomorrow is overtime at double rate, new toys for me.

Bbq with the folks as they are over here and thankfully leaving on the 2nd. Hopefully mates down the road pop round to help alleviate the stress.

After having what I now know to be a hypoglycaemic seizure on Saturday my 14mo daughter returned from hospital last night. Seeing as there is no feeling in the world like helplessly holding your apparently lifeless child in your arms with tears streaming down your face wondering whats wrong until the blue lights arrive, I shall be cuddling my kids until bedtime, then raising a small glass to ambulance crews and nhs staff who work hard throughout holiday periods and all the time ensuring our family members are safe and well.

Particularly remembering of Bruders and his post a year or so ago as well.

Night in with the OH. Movie, pizza and a few drinkies.

Driving up to see mates I don't see nearly often enough, sitting outside drinking whisky and burning wood in a 'burner' I built yesterday, which is shonky as hell but should be a laugh!

+1 Kryton57's sentiments.

Quiet one for me and riding tomorrow 🙂

Midnight turbo session methinks.

Start as you something something...

Burying my cat that died last night 😥

We've just decided to lay off the Champers until we see the New Year in on the Beach, hoping that the wind and rain dissipate for at least 15mins so we can toast the year in, but we are realistic 😆

alcohol + fireworks

and a bike ride on NYD to make the hangover go away

Thinking just ignore it's happening and wake up on new years day hangover free, would be the first time in 18 years. Not decided yet, but sounds quite appealing.

Might even take the bike out tomorrow morning early.

family over here, wife, kids, mum, step dad, sisters, various kids and spouses. big chinese, booze, games etc.

i did christmas day too, top marks to me!

Ive just treated myself to an expensive new bike GPS so, I'm going to stay in, drink half a bottle of Procceto (sp?) around midnight then go to bed.
A sober NYD will probably be the first in 30yrs for me. Aiming to be riding tomorrow am, i want to ride a lot more next year.

Also reminiscing about the booze fueled and narcotic good ol days but now I have to "grow up" apparently so a night at the friends with the wife whilst me and me pal hog the ps4 and the bottles of left over xmas plonk.

Descaling the coffee machine and watching The Godfather 8)

Watching Megamind with the kids & missus while getting slowly pickled on mulled wine* !

* couple of bottles of red, quality Chase vodka a splash of grappa and one of those sachet jobs for the mulling!

Happy new year!

Slowly getting merry listening to music channels on sky, guessing the years (im 44) waiting for step daughter (18) to go out... Its bed time girl!!!!

Drinking Jagermeister and playing off-ground tag with friends' kids. Ice cube fight, bad karaoke, splashy ride home through empty streets. Was good.

Visited Mum and Dad as they are getting old and Mum has cancer.
