    What are your plans? (If any?) :)

    I'm going for dinner and a few drinks with my boyfriend and then back to our apartment early enough. We will probably watch a movie or something.

    Just off the phone to a couple of friends who are coming over to us for the night. A good old chat, a few drinks, nibbles, sandwiches, cake etc and pass the night in pleasant company.

    Is it David Attenborough?
    I'd just sip a drink and watch him doing commentary on my dog and birds all night.

    NYE is boring, I've tried enjoying but never 'got' it. I much prefer Christmas Eve, that's a magic day and evening.

    :D No, he's at home.

    He's doing well though and sent a very appropriate Christmas card.

    Staying in, hate new years eve out, will watch a film then head outside around 11.55 to hear the church bells beside us followed by the neighbour, whose usually p*ssed, shout happy new year to nobody

    Between fighting for a place at the bar (and having to plan it at least 15 minutes before everyone else needs a drink or keeping an eye on the obstacle course to get to the bar and thinking I can get in there) in the hopes the barman may notice me, beside the drooling woman who has had too many WKD's and thinks knocking everyone else out with her flailing arms will get her served quicker, and then to be charged a fortune for the privilege of being served by his graciousness

    or

    staying at home with a few friends round, good music we enjoy, drink we can afford (may even put a few pizzas on!) - served as and when you want

    Tough decision...or maybe I'm getting too old

    Usually spend New Year's Eve at home with my husband feeling bored as we have been let down by friends too many times now. However, this year, we are spending it with my friend and her husband at their house and I'm so excited!!

    I did it last year, didn't go out for the first time in years and it was actually nice for a change! :)

    I haven't been out on New Years Eve in years. It would be too manic for me. Himself and me will cook something lovely, open a bottle of champagne, eat chocolate and that's it :)

    When you're in your late teens/early 20s you feel that you have to go out to a busy bar. That it's some how a sin to stay in. But after a few, you realise that come 12:01am it turns in to just another night out but the pubs are mental and getting home is a nightmare.


    Been there done that. I would rather just stay in.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,555 ✭✭✭SuperSean11


    You will owe me a tenner :P

    You seem happy about that, Personal Issues that way ->

    We always have my best friend and her boyfriend over. We watch the big fat quiz of the year, play games and eat Chinese food.

    Really looking forward to it :)

    Haven't went out for years on NYE because it's a disaster (IMO) when you live in a city. We alternate between having friends over for dinner and drinks (or vice versa) and just sitting on the couch with phones and drinks (that's what happening this year because we'll be away). Suits us.

    In my sealed bunker waiting for the collapse of society. Tins of beans and pasta everywhere, it's fantastic and you're not invited.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,046 ✭✭✭Berserker


    Can't go it at all. Will sit in and watch the television with a few drinks. Will probably log on here to mock RTE's offering for a while, before ringing in the new year with the Beeb.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,818 ✭✭✭fussyonion


    I've had actual flu this Christmas. Bed-ridden and all. Now I'm better we shall be sipping pints but just in the local pub, a mere five min walk away so no need for cabs. Normally I'm happy staying in but I'm looking forward to a pint now I'm better.
