What are you doing for New Years?

Oriel

Folks,
I'm sick of paying a fortune into places, queuing at the bar for ages and being in a place crammed with people with average music - and all just for an average social occasion. That's why I'm trying to push for a house party (music, god wine and the TV on, with the sound turned down most of the time), but most of my friends are looking to head out.

What are you doing?

Tiriel

heading out.. but will then have a party to go back to at about 1am.. with closest friends. Like to go out for a few hours and meet people at random that I haven't seen in ages at home, then get away from the madness that is New Years for a nice get together which may last anytime into the wee hours of the morning;)

Forgot to ask - if your answer is "other" - what is it you're doing?

I hate New Years with an intense passion. I love just watching a dvd round 1130 and ignoring the hype. It's funny as I love xmas, birthdays etc etc

simu

Nuffink tbh.

Willymuncher

I'll be on a plane home....bah!

NoDayBut2Day

I voted "other" because I'm not exactly sure what I'll be doing... varies each year

xzanti

Heading out.. Id only get depressed if I sat in... Iv gone out every New Years Eve the last few years and always had a great night so knock on wood this year will be no different.. I will most likely go to The Picture House (formerly The Palace)

TerrorFirmer

Don't think we're going out, way too busy and places will be jammed.

Probably head to the off license, grab a few drinks, and relax at a friends house

See everyone thinks that and stays in.. In fact the last few years Iv gone out places have been quieter than usual due to the fact that everyone is of the same opinion that places will be jammers and stays at home or has house parties...

I agree. I am going to portarlington for new years eve. My boyfriend is from port, and we went down last year.
Best craic ever. No Queues, no ridiculous admission fees, cheap drink, pubs are not over crowded.

I guess anyone from Port probably wishes they where celebrating in Dublin, its probably a case of the grass always being greener.... but thats where I will be heading anyhows!

Sparky

going out to a new years party.

RobertFoster

Nothing. I hate New Years. I might turn on a DVD I got a Christmas at about 11PM so I don't have to count down anything.

**Timbuk2**

I am stayin in and watchin the telly

Setun

Dunno yet, probs not going to head out though. After being charged 5.20 for a pint last night in town I think I'll stick to an intimate gathering of friends in a house somewhere. Cheaper, you can chat away and you don't get lost looking for the nitelink home.

azezil

Been invited to a party, dunno if I'll bother with it... waiting to see if I get any other offers.

Funkstard

Celebrating with my family in a rented house by the sea in Australia (Port Douglas to be exact)

Love

Family party/Reunion.

idontknowmyname

I'm going to London with my boyfriend, looking forward to it:D

Amz

Dunno yet, probably will stay in. Trying to ship the family off to relatives for the weekend which will leave me with more options.

Frederick

Got a cheap flight to Holland, gonna spend new years with relatives!:D

The Dutch do New Years better than anybody else!
Madness!:p

senordingdong

New years Boards Beers?.....anybody?

Tar.Aldarion

my bed, you supply the drink...
Seems That's my plan now but if it doesn't work out I guess I wilol go out or go to a friends place as usual.

xXxnaoisexXx

probly going to a party well hopefully i am:)

Kernel

Working, and then probably a few late drinks with the family. New Years Eve isn't as good as it used to be... :-(

CrowdedHouse

Other - 'on call' for work,so staying in most likely

tom-thebox

Survey on nerds social lifes! :P

Aisling(",)

probably won't be allowed out by my parents but hopefully will be at a friends house

The Lime

I will be doing a couple of Complex number questions on my Lime tree and praying i won't be hit by a idle firework!

the Guru

Bottle of wine on my own as my GF is on call so I cant go out,

I will plan to stop drinking ,smoking, crap food and do more excercise but I will do none of the above as per usual . New year resolutions are so easy to keep

omb0wyn5ehpij9

I dunno yet, but i would prefer to go to a house party. Which i will say is pretty likely

senordingdong

Fair play to those of you that are on call.

I couldn't imagine the trouble you lot go to for others.

Dizzyblabla

I'm working, sitting in an office new years eve getting treble time and a day in lieu... I aint complaining! It's going towards my holiday in the new year...

Binomate

Staying in probably as usual.

Kingp35

Going to London for the PDC Darts World Championships. Happy days

Heathen

im going out.. i have stayed in the last 2 or 3 years and had drinks in the house cos its too pricey on new years.. but this year im doing a gig in town so big money playing on new years and seeing as were the band we'll have no bother getting in so we might as well stay after for a few scoops after :D

KdjaCL

Depends ...anyone care to babysit??? if no then staying in


kdjac

SprostonGreen

I've being going out getting drunk every NYE for the past 16 years. This year I'm staying in, I got tired of it a long time ago. In work the next day at 9am anyway.

tj-music.com

We´re staying in having a few friends coming over.

Nightwish

staying in. I'm not paying an "admission fee" into a pub,which will be overcrowded and with dodgy music, I hate all that crap.

rainbow kirby

I have no plans...

daveg

I'll be in Hong Kong. Arriving new years eve @ 5pm. Start of our RTW trip on our honeymoon

godtabh

I'm of to Iceland for New Years. Was there last year. Have a few drinks at the friends house then head to the highest point in the city and watch as the lunatics set off their fire works every where. You get a lovely panoramic view of the city from an old oil refinery that is now a restaurant or something.

I just hope it snows again but that isn’t looking good so far!

fischerspooner

Going to Berlin for cheap food, cheap drink, hot friendly girls, 24hr bars etc. etc. If you want a big night out, Ireland is not the place to be.

I'm thinking thats what I will be doing, unless I hear of a party worth going to. Ive only ever enjoyed one New Years in my life, that was in New York at Paul Oakenfold in a huge club. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat night Tony

Ditto, it's so anti-climatic, I can normally be relied on to get into the party spirit but I get TERRIBLY maudlin on NYE and never really enjoy them. It's organised fun at it's best.....:eek:

cournioni

I'm going out to get pissed off my face.

petes

Going to get smashed.
