New Years Eve plans?

_Kaiser_ · 30-12-2018 11:14PM

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 · 30-12-2018 11:14PM

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!

39 years on, still a classic!

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

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....

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.

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.

30-12-2018 11:25PM

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 · 30-12-2018 11:26PM

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 · 30-12-2018 11:26PM

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

ChikiChiki · 30-12-2018 11:27PM

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 · 30-12-2018 11:28PM

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.

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! · 30-12-2018 11:31PM

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 · 30-12-2018 11:32PM

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 · 30-12-2018 11:35PM

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

Ah Happy New Year to you my dear.

I hope you are happy and fulfilled with your choices. I am anyway :pac:

Most boring evening of the year. Can't wait to get back to work and normality. This nearly two week off holiday we Irish take is a joke. Couple of days for Christmas and New Year's day off, fine and good. No more needed.

Going to have a drink or 9 in the living room and pass on the tradition of trying to get a monopoly board through a brick wall.

I mean it, just have to say it, don't have to indulge in all the shyte associated with it.

Give me a break.

Neames · 30-12-2018 11:54PM

No plans whatsoever.

Might watch a film and get a takeaway.

I'll be happy to get back into some sort if a routine soon.

mrmorgan · 30-12-2018 11:55PM

To me NYE is manufactured for commercial purposes. And some oblige.

Same as Christmas. All gone now despite all the angst and terror about the tree and the turkey leftovers.

Some say it is all about family, but we here see each other regularly and have a blast.

Christmas is a Mammon thing. So there. And NYE is a five minute blast too.

Wishing you all the best. As I would at any time of the year, lol.

Same as...i get as close to depressed as I can get. Worse this year as I have been off all Christmas so the thought of work is killing me.
Going for fresh air up the Dublin hills then bringing my young lad and his mate bowling.
Feel myself coming down though. Hate a new year...
