What are you doing for New Years?

Oriel · 18-12-2005 03:28AM #1

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?

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

Nuffink tbh.

Willymuncher · 18-12-2005 04:44AM

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

NoDayBut2Day · 18-12-2005 08:17AM

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

xzanti · 18-12-2005 11:14AM

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 · 18-12-2005 11:17AM

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!

going out to a new years party.

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** · 18-12-2005 12:05PM

I am stayin in and watchin the telly

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.
