New Years Eve.

--LOS-- · 28-12-2011 04:27AM

nearly every new years eve I can remember has started off well and then gone down-hill. Still, you have to make the effort though.

NYE is the most overrated "holiday" of the year. Just another excuse for bars etc to raise entry prices and hotels to higher rates!!

--LOS-- · 28-12-2011 05:29AM

still I'm happier to celebrate a holiday that's not a religious holiday

Every New Years Eve I do have a good night with my buddies.

Last year was different, GF wanted me to hang around in the city with her so I didn't bother going home..............big mistake.

Went to her friend's house, under the impression that people would be drinking and we'd feck off to a pub before the countdown. Instead, I'm left in a social gathering with people talking about where the best mussels in the west of Ireland are found while they all drank fine German wine & beer.................with quasi-Jazz funk soul blues hip hop music in the background.

I clung onto my can of Bavaria, in a way as if it was my only anchor to normality as they all spoke of fine, posh, leftovers of the Celtic Tiger years.

I was getting impatient and once 11:30pm came, they all broke out the cups of tea.............no more drink for anyone.

I skulled my can, hinted at the GF that I was leaving, headed to a close pub where the sister was, caught the countdown, and got pissed listening to 80's music for next 3 hours. :pac:

Some people may call me antisocusl but my plans fir the night are very simple. A selection of delicious ales, a few films and a take away = an enjoyable new years eve without the hassle of fighting at the bar to get served, screaming at friends to be heard or walking home in the wee hours wanting nothing more than to collapse into bed.

Just remember the delivery driver if you get the food delivered

He has a family to go home to. So order early

I never get food delivered if I'm at home, either it arrives cold or something is missing from the order. Much prefer to be able to collect it myself while it's hot and head straight home

Seeing as we're all pre-planning, might as well get it over with now.

I'll copy and paste the above on the night, 'cause I'm a miserable fucking rebel so I am.

Used to hate going out NYE-bars way too busy etc, but noticed the last two years that people were copping on and going to house parties. Suits me-nice buzz in the pubs I go to now but not jammers.
Year before last I went to a great house party, had a snowball fight at midnight and generally had the craic. Last year I went to the local pub/club-great craic albeit a tenner in (usually a fiver) not too busy just a nice atmosphere. This year I plan on going for a meal early (about 7) then on to somewhere for a few scoops-probably same place as last year. In work New Years day at 9am so will have to take it relatively easy

Out early, home early I reckon-I'll aim for about 2am.

Captain Darling · 29-12-2011 12:37PM

If you hate going out on NYE, you are going to wrong place or alternatively dont go out at all. You're doing it wrong.

I've an apartment booked down in West Clare for the weekend. Going to chill out and relax my world weary bone.

29-12-2011 12:41PM

I've never gone out for NYE and I don't intend to start now
Used to do house parties but I'll just chill out at home instead

sunflower27 · 29-12-2011 12:54PM

Quiet one in for me. No plans at all to go out and don't mind it

Latchy · 29-12-2011 01:42PM

I'm going to a 21st tomorrow night so new years day / eve will be chilling at home .Paying £10 to stand in some overcrowded pub or club , been ripped off with bar prices then waiting yonks for the taxi home, with extra charge on top is not worth the border anyhow .

Laika1986 · 29-12-2011 02:53PM

Met a girl recently, both of us hate NYE so we kinda half made drunken plans to do something together!What is there to do apart from go pub and get pissed?

Lady von Purple · 29-12-2011 10:28PM

New Years Eve is a crap night for going out. Overcrowded everywhere.

This year is going to be a good'un though, I'm off to a NYE wedding!! Gonna be good. Champagne a-flowing, loads of family and friends, a decent band and a late bar, and everyone suited and gúna'd up to the hilt. Gonna be great.

cazzzzz · 29-12-2011 10:55PM

Moan moan moan moan...

Mars Bar · 29-12-2011 11:31PM

I dunno how people saying they are staying in to avoid drunken, crowded, sticky, smelly pubs and night clubs is being considered as an anti-social moaning whinger.

Drunken, crowded, sticky, smelly places are the exact places I dislike. I'm not gonna put myself in that position to go with a stupid "social norm".

I'll go out early in the day and watch the Manchester United game. Then it'll be either beer at home or at a house party.

Much better fun for me...

Take ecstacy and dance.

Dionysus · 29-12-2011 11:49PM

I'm so beyond "going out" into noisy pubs or noisy nightclubs it's not funny.

I look forward to the death of noise in pubs, particularly the end of blaring tvs with soccer or other commercial "sport" on them, polluting the peace and quiet I used to enjoy when I went to the pub with a few friends and had great chats and arguments about everything and anything.

Last New Year I went to a fantastic trad seisiún in The Cobblestone as a friend was leaving Ireland forever and we had to celebrate. It was great, but far too packed. Will go for a long walk, have a nice dinner and prepare to get up at 7am on New Year's Day to begin the first of many of my New Year's resolutions. The theme of 2012 is cut down on non work-related internet usage dramatically, learn another language and get superfit in order to walk the Camino de Santiago in June!

Im curious as to what most people in Ireland would celebrate on New Years Eve when 2012 promises to be as depressing and miserable as 2011.

Sitting indoors in the dark engaging in a length episode of self flagellation whilst weeping over the last few pennies and selling my eyeballs on e-bay for some cornflakes. Why? What are you doing?

entropi · 30-12-2011 12:28AM

I'm going out for only the second time on NYE this year. Last year was a great house party, this year it'll be a rock bar with cheap drink and good people...can't go wrong there

lumjm · 30-12-2011 12:51AM

I was kind of getting excited for what possibly may be a good night out, but now after reading this thread, everything's turned a little grey, the last drops of enthusiasm left in my naive spirit has been drained, 2012 has lost any appeal and looks as bleak as a monday morning back in an office job that's slowly been eating your soul for the last twenty years. THANKS PEOPLE

What are you doing for NEW YEARS EVE?
Does anyone know if there's any fireworks displays on for New years eve. In Limerick or around or anywhere in Ireland, i would travel to get a decent one. It would be great but it's a shame you never see this happening all over on one of the Top nights of all ''New years eve''.

Usually one here in Limerick City

Rich11 · 30-12-2011 06:33AM

Working:( hopefuly be out at 12:30 at night, then head to the nightclub:D

Oranage2 · 30-12-2011 06:38AM

Usually hit a house party - Though this year town is the plan - Anyone recommend a good dry cleaners for my stab proof vest?

New Years Eve.
