New Years Eve plans?

Try_harder

What’s everyone’s plans for NYE? Mine looking like a damp squib about now...

Probably be asleep

Ubbquittious

Camping up the mountains in Cork

Foweva Awone

My parents are coming to stay for the night so we'll probably get a takeaway. They're talking about heading down to Christchurch for midnight, however I plan to be in bed asleep by my usual bedtime of 10pm.

Larry Murphy is that you?

I am going out for dinner early at 5ish with a few friends, then meeting a few more friends after for drinks. I'd say home about 9ish to spend new year's with the dog. Probably asleep about 11.
Not a big fan of new years it tends to be mad.

Robocop Corcoran

Button Factory.

Sephiroth_dude

F all happening here.

Stay far away from the madding crowd and herald the New Year with Jools Holland & company.

OldMrBrennan83

Pizza and wine with the Mrs. Was never much of a thing for me but I'll stay up til after 12 as the Mrs likes it.

Hopefully find a film or something as the 'ringing in' show on RTÉ is usually poor enough.

GoneHome

We never go out New Year's Eve, it's the worst night of the year in any pub/town, myself and OH will crack open a bottle or two tomorrow night and enjoy it in the comfort of our own livingroom away from the hustle and bustle, bliss

Yer Da sells Avon

I'm working until 1am. I hate New Year's Eve, so at least I'll be paid to hate it this year.

biko

Local pub with friends and family. It'll be fun.

Have had enough of made up holidays and compliance with tradition nonsense. This one's nothing more than a Monday to me

Made up holidays? There's not even a card sent for it and it is actually the eve of a new year.

Or are you too cool for calendars?

Likewise, probably pop the head out the door to greet a few neighbours, then back to Jools followed by the highlights of Glastonbury 2017

RCK1

Countdown concert at the customs hosue and then possibly coppers. The joys of being young.

(Although chilling on the couch watching Jools Holland with a glass of Whiskey sounds better)

Tom Mann Centuria

Working nights, first of four.

mojesius

Hopefully I'll be asleep by 10pm as usual and wake up fresh as a daisy on New year's day. Might even go for a smug power walk or jog at dawn.

Feel better now?

It's another excuse to follow a stupid tradition that in reality the majority of people hate so paint smiles on, sing depressing songs and jump around to
celebrate a bloody day changing because that's what "tradition says"

And I assure you there are cards..
And banners.. and party poppers

Spanish Eyes

Go to the local pub for an hour or so between 7 and 8 o'clock. Love looking at the entrants.

Then leg it and get a lovely chippie from Mario across the road.

Home then and eat, and Jools H (recorded in July, I know....) and there we are.

Try_harder

I’m broke. Leaving old job Fri, so drinks then, new job, bday and LeiVTou the following week so no desire to do anything

lawred2

Early to bed. NYE does nothing for me.

Well measurement of time is a made up construct so...

Do I feel better? Of course not as I'll never be as edgy as you.

buried

Just do as I always do and ignore it. Don't understand the concept of celebrating nothing more than a change of date or a split second of time. Its just gone 22.00 here now, WooooooooooooHoooooooooooooooo

Must try pizza and wine to take the edge off...

You could try respecting others opinions...

clappyhappy

Working new years eve & day, so home with oh & kids, few glasses and in bed by 12.15. Kids love seeing the fireworks from London. Hate new years eve out, people hugging & kissing you and wouldn't look at you the next day.

PuppyMcPupFace

Am with friends anyway as I'm travelling for something New Years Day and don't want to fly that morning.

Tbh normal night in their gaff - few scoops, that's it.

Spanish Eyes

Does anyone remember last NYE? Any different to this one?

Manufactured nonsense for five minutes, Yep I am a total cynic, and I also detest pubs too. Could be an interesting evening!

Sorry for being a bit of a Grinch, but it is nearly all over now thank fk.

Completely... Next up is a need to celebrate "January" with "sales" cos you know not enough boxes of king, slabs of Guinness or tacky overpriced mass produced pieces of plastic from China were bought in December.

As you say it's "Grinch" sounding but mainly to those easily brainwashed by corporate induced events

oooh New Years Friend!

_Kaiser_

Gonna just watch the final of the darts (even though it's pretty much a foregone conclusion after tonight), have a drink and take it easy.

Will watch the countdown on BBC - always a great display

Dalomanakora

An early night. I'm working til 6.30 and I'm back up for work at 5.45 on the 1st, so it'll be home, dinner and bed for me.


I don't celebrate it anyway so I'm not bothered in the slightest. I'll be very happy to see the back of 2018 though!

You must be great craic and so optimistic to be around! There's a enough problems big and small in the world without being bregruding and cynical....

Spanish Eyes

Two days to go before returning to normal service.

Sorry but TBH I cannot wait. It can be kind of depressing for many looking at a bleak January, I know this. But honestly the false jollity at this time cracks me up now.

Be glad when it's done and dusted.

CIP4

It will be a quite one for me spending it with family we will either go out for dinner or get takeaway and spend the night at home. Working tomorrow but should be finished around 4pm.

We will cook a nice dinner and have a few drinks. Mind you we would do that anyways. Probably be asleep before midnight if my plan of walking miles and miles tomorrow happens.

Purple Mountain

We're a right boring lot on here. I'm no better.
I loate NYE with a passion.
Fake hugging and kissing and don't get me started on that stupid Scottish song and intertwined hands crap.
I gave up going out on NYE when I was in my late 20s. Prior to that it was a sin to miss it.
I'm reading a good book so I'll be awake tomorrow night in my recliner under my blanket with that. I won't have any Countdown TV and I'll cringe when the chain texts start vibrating on my phone.
Happy New Drear Boardsies!

Laois_Man

I hate NYE every year but because we suffered a particularly sad bereavement this year, I feel even less like celebrating than usual

ChikiChiki

Walk down to the beach with a couple of cans in time watch the fireworks in Melbourne. Like others have said, going to avoid the crowded city centre.

DaveyDave

I'll be in work processing an order for the warehouse to deliver to our client. Hopefully I'll get to go home early as there's a basketball game on at midnight and I normally finish at 1.

Apology accepted.

Super hoop

Into town (Dublin) for some grub with herself at 3 bells. Meet a gang of people...mix of cousins and friends for drinks at about 5. See how it goes from there. Herself and myself usually slip off home around half 11. Be home before 12 to ring in the New year together. Happy days

KERSPLAT!

I'm not a fan of pubs on St Patrick's Day, St Stephenseses Day or NYE but will likely head to a house party tomorrow night. It's more to have a few drinks and a bit of craic than to celebrate a new year

r93kaey5p2izun

Going to a show in the Abbey as I do most years then home early. Usually watch the Hootenanny and try console the dog during the fireworks. Couldn't imagine anything worse than going out for the night!

Spanish Eyes

Rinse and repeat, Christmas and New Year.

Thankfully returning to normality is two days away. LOL. I am a cynic and hate all this false jollity. For that is what it is mostly.

Happy for you to call me whatever you want but to be fair you're going to Coppers so I can't really place value on your opinions
