The Gasbuster Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 Following on from Red M's Xmas thread. I loathe New Year, cannot understand why such a fuss is made. (Millenium night excluded) Why celebrate : 1) The end of the Xmas holiday, and the return to work ? 2) The arrival of January; without doubt the worst month of the year - cold, wet, dark, and loads of incoming bills ? 3) The beginning of a period in time where we will all become a year older ? Roll on February / March and the beginning of Spring ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erithacus Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 Just (yet) another excuse for a booze-up. Following so closely on the heels of Crimbo, there's a great opportunity to recall all the things that went wrong at that party and repeat them.

BS2 Red Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 I prefer Christmas to New Year and I’m not all that keen on Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 I don’t mind New Year as such, means Christmas is long over for one. I think of it as a time of new beginnings, put the shite of the past year behind. But @The Gasbusteryou have a good point that Spring is a better starting point. But we’ve had the shortest day and spring is ever nearer. New Year is now getting almost as commercial as Christmas, I’ve seen dozens of adverts for party food and champagne, it seems if you aren’t throwing a massive party you are a nobody. Well I’m a proud nobody! I’ve even seen stuff suggesting people exchange New Year gifts, sod that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 More ********* letting off fireworks. Hate NYE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Maesknoll Red Posted December 30, 2018 Admin Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 Last few years, my New Years Eve has consisted of sitting at home by myself, drinking some decent red and watching Jools Holland’s Hootenanny, perfect way to see it in. Working until 21.00 on NYE this year, but should be home in time to do the same again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the joys of living miles from anywhere is I won`t hear one. No doubt we`ll have the usual parade of news stories on Tuesday of people getting badly injured due to some pissed up idiot throwing a banger in someone`s face `for a laugh`. I hate fireworks and the sooner they`re banned from anything other than organised displays the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screech Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 New Years Eve is the dullest non event celebration of the year. Pulling Party poppers and trying to look excited at counting down to midnight, so much excitement. I plan to do what I usually do, walk out of the room and have a pretend piss so I miss the fun. Hateful night!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe jordans teeth Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 And don’t get me started on banging pans,did it as a kid but it had died out so imagine my surprise greeting my long time neighbours down my street as we always do New Years to hear pans banging expecting young kids enjoying themselves to see Middle Aged women who would rather step into shit than say hello the rest of the year thinking that’s fun,rant over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
