New Years Eve

Lexus1976

Does anybody have anything exciting planned or different for New Years Eve besides house parties. House parties are fine but we go to them every week and would like to do something different for the night.

Most overrated night of the year. As usual I'll probably do nothing and not even notice when it's midnight. Might even be asleep by then.

kelle

Working tonight, New Years day+night and the following Sunday night, so it'll be an early night for me on NYE. Bit pi**ed off, but I'll be earning money rather than spending it!

Azureus

love ringing in the new years. but hate going into town or anything cuz its always way too crowded! so just simple aul house party for me this year

InkSlinger67

Ned Flanders and I will probably be doing our annual tax returns!

Duff

Been out in town for the last 3 years for NYE and im definatly not doing it again this year, way too crowded and full of scobes off their chops on ''X'' and 16 yr olds who cant handle their drink puking their rings up everywhere. Mates house for a few tins and a game of Rock Band for me.

Clare Bear

Having a few people over to ours, then over the road to the local where there's a lock in I think because they all used to work there so just an easy, local night. I'd never go near town on New Year's Eve again, always a disaster.

For new Years 07 myself and about 12 friends went over to Portugal for a 3 night, 4 day stint.
It only cost €200 for flights and accommodation and we had the best time.

Last year we went to a restaurant in leeson street, for 100euro each we had a 3 course meal, with drinks, and we rang in the New year there. When the evening was over we walked outside to a string of taxis, all with their yellow lights on, ready and waiting to take us home. I couldn't believe it.

Don't have any plans for this year yet though, maybe this thread will give me some inspiration

Girlfriends birthday is the 31st but the house mates are also having a party. :pac:

toiletduck

Working thankfully, I absolutely hate the night (to go out on).

Probably just take a dump and some sedatives.

New years eve is my most favourite night of the whole year.

I love it so much. The anticipation of the year ahead is just deeeelightful. And if you've had a shyte year, how lovely to celebrate the fact that it's over.

Aaah - can't wait.

Have no feckin idea what i'm doing though.:rolleyes:

I'm working until 5 on New Years Eve and back in work at 2 on New Years Day.

New Years Eve and St Stephens Day are perhaps the most annoying nights to be out!

Go to the beach. Did it once before and always get strange looks when I mention it. It's worth it just for that. If you're lucky it won't be raining.

Mushy

I'll be working, but where I work, its never actually busy on NYE, so wont mind too much really.

stovelid

Have to miss out on it now cos I can't get a babysitter and I'm secretly glad to have an excuse to avoid it. It's just usually a hassle: being stranded in town, the pressure of what you're going to do and the anti-climax.

Far prefer going out 21 -30th December.

have to agree here. a buzz down the beach with your own friends is always a great laugh. you may have to put up with the occasional knacker but its worth it for the craic thats had

Zzippy

Going to the gf's cousin's wedding. Should be a bit of craic anyway.

Don't take the sedatives before the dump. You don't want to be falling asleep on the job now...

Pullin' the schtomach off meself.

A word of caution.
New Years eve is notorious for break-ins for obvious reasons.
If you have anything especially vabuable, hide it well if your going out to celebrate.

A friend puts some of his cash, items, etc well wrapped and into rubbish bins!
I know a business owner who does the same every night. After been broken into a number of times, they still haven't gotten the cash!

KnifeWRENCH

Went to a friend's place last year, there was only 4 of us. The other three got pissed, I stayed sober and didn't enjoy it that much.

This year I'll probably just stay at home or else go to my sisters place.
I refuse to go out because I'm unsociable and don't enjoy drinking that much.

Pop back later for my drunken ramblings

HalloweenJack

My girlfriend's in another country so I'm not too bothered about going out. Probably will end up going out somewhere and leave about 12.05.

Its the most overrated night of the year. Hate it so much.

Though i'll probably go out and just be pissed off.

MIN2511

I like NYE but HATE christmas, a guy i worked with is having a house party-should be great fun!

Can't remember my last NYE in town too damn expensive and a waste of money-house parties ftw:D

df1985

+1 But since I didn't head out for stephens night I may have to head out New Years or the friends might not be too impressed.

I think this is a great idea, its a bit late to plan it this year but deffo an option for next year, id rather spend NYE with close friends rather then be crushed in a packed pub full of the ppl you manage to avoid all year.

ninty9er

18 of us off to Edinburgh....went to bed at 11 last year....and town was sh1te the 2 years before that.

So depending on how Edinburgh goes....I'll go away every year, have a house party, or go to bed.

I'm putting lipstick on my thumb and index finger.

brianthebard

Hopefully go to a friend's place or else boards...either way drinking!hate the countdown though,usually step outside just before that.

Saibh

Think there was another thread on this, I posted I was going to my local. I have changed my mind now, not going to bother, just going to stay at home, and have a few drinks.

I will be the only single person in a house full of smug couples.

I'll be stepping out the backdoor with my friends dogs to walk the beach at midnight - unless the token single man thats been invited is worth a second look, but lets face it, that rarely happens!

Me too ,it is a sad time for some.
I'll be in and out of here though , just not at 12:00.

Aidric

Screw goin to a pub on new years paying jacked up prices and getting drink spilled all over you. I'm headin to a mates for a house party and get rat-arsed on sparkling wine and beer for a fraction of the price I'd spend in town.

victoriaa

walk the beach at midnight... hmm.. that sounds tempting. now i only have to find some willing dogs ..

entropi

Will prob be doing nothing AGAIN this year except watch drunken ppl wander up the quays from the warmth of my front room...i've never been out on NYE so i wouldnt mind experiencing it at least once :P

ejmaztec

As my dad was born in Scotland, I'm going to paint my face blue and white, attack the British Embassy with a big stick and party like it's 1299.

Agent Smith

havent a clue, houseparty no doubt

Ghost Train

babysitting I think.... yuck, hope there's something good on tv

Might go to a restaurant for New Years eve and stay there for the count down. Any restaurant recommendations in the dublin area?

HalloweenJack

Going to Stuttgart to spend New Year's with my gf. Can't wait.

I've been to Hogmanay and it's was brilliant. Too crowded though but after a few beers I didn't mind so much.

I think Xmas is overrated. New Year's Eve at least is the end of a year or 365 days off your life. It's something as worthy celebrating as is your birthday. ;-p

winston82

heading to clontarf castle for nye. Ticket cost €120 and we get 4 course meal band & DJ. Blacktie night. About 30 of us headin in. Should be fun. I think there were over 200 people there last year!
