    So how many do you reckon will be here on boards, instead of being out in the freezing cold? Gonna say between 200-299 myself seeing as there may be alot who can't due to physical/mental illness or just cant be bothered:)

    I shall be outside btw, not indoors keeping warm lol

    I will be here but bear in mind there are supposedly 2639 on line right now. Some people have the page open but are not around.

    There was a mod showing online but was actually away on a weeks holiday.

    My mother tried to hint that my brother and his wife have nothing to do new years eve also. NO WAY am I spending my new years eve with that boring **** talking about his child and his dogs and his foregin travel. :mad: FVCK YOU AS*HOLE :mad: LOL

    I'll be on probably before and maybe after.

    Drinking in house... computer always on.. computer holds music.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,632 ✭✭✭SligoBrewer


    I'll be turning 18 on the stroke of midnight.

    Line of shots anyone!:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,205 ✭✭✭Neamhshuntasach


    I'll be on the boards all right. The floorboards. Gonna be scooping on the 10am train to Galway. And sure once you start there's no point in stopping.

    Not a big NYE fan, so may not be out but I certainly won't be on boards!

    I hate NYE. All the "mwah mwah, we all love each other really" bull puts me off my drink.

    Sickens me as some the people you A: don't know or B: wouldint spit on your side of the street sober, the're so up their own arses.

    I like a nice quite drink, a laugh, a group of friends joking about the year thats been. This mass mobbing, no taxis, no chatting (as the musics so loud) and insane entrance fees make me want to stay at home. So, i will.

    Thousands and thousands: all either in invisible mode or pretending to post from groovy locations on their mobiles.

    I feckin hope not! Haven't got anything planned yet though...

    I'd reckon about 423 will be online if you are counting unregistered users too.

    I'll possibly come online when I'm totally pissed outta my brain..... WELL after midnite tho...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,203 ✭✭✭Heyes


    Not a massive new years eve fan but partying it up is the only way to have it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,828 ✭✭✭KerranJast


    Me probably. Been laid up since Christmas night with what I think is either a small fracture in the femur or a torn groin muscle. :( Off for XRays Friday. Until then God Bless the Interweb. :pac:

    I feel bad for the people who would be on boards at midnight. Its both sad and scary to think that most people are alone or have no feckin shape of a social life.

    C'MON SHEEPLE

    What about people who have commitments or are just past such revelry?

    I certainly won't be going out to any partay or overpriced club / bars full of pretentious jumped up 20 something year olds.

    Not sure where you get off calling people like me sad who are past being a scene queen. It will be a bottle of plonk and some chilled tunage for me.

    BTW I am 11 hours ahead so yes I will most likely be on Boards come midnight (GMT) ;)

    Its okay to have a get-together at home but if your not socializing with real people in the big SCARY world, your just not going to like what I have to say. Sorry if you don't like reality my friend

    Galway is hardly big and scary now is it?

    So tell me Mr Worldly what is reality .. is it getting pissed, talking sentimental sh!te before the inevitable cheezy countdown as you desperately try to grab the nearest person to you and try to stick your tongue down their throat as the clock strikes midnight? Or do you have something more exciting lined up?

    Just a bit too cliched for me.

    I'm sorry you have taken this badly. If you would rather be on an internet message board on NYE then having fun and knowing that the inevitable walk of pride home after some "spontanious movement". Enjoy NYE anyways if that is fun to you I should not question you. MERRY NYE

    Meh, NYE is an overrated rip off. If you want to waste your money and that is fun for you then congrats. You're in no position to criticise what anyone else does.

    In answer to the OP's question, I'll be on boards when the New Year is ringing in, as I'm sure most people will be, seeing as it happens somewhere in the world every hour for most of the day.
