On new years? sucks man.
What type of job you got?

Work for a multi-national. And happy to have a job.

Don't mind anyway, as haven't been out on NYE for maybe 5 or 6 yrs. Got fed up with paying to get into places that I would frequent all year, or being squashed like a sardine for hours.

I'm staying in tonight because I'm working tomorrow morning.

Having a couple of beers in the local pub - just 2 or 3 - and home by 12.30. I plan to start this new year with that smug feeling that only non-hungover people have on the morning of the 1st. I'll be out on a 10k by 9am. 2012 is going to be different.....

Sure a night out would be fun (if the idiots that appear on new years eve can be avoided), but spending the 1st day of 2012 feeling like sh1t is not worth the price!

As always, my wife and I are staying at home. Our dog is ultra-sensitive to the sound of explosions and with thousands of rockets and other fireworks going off between 6 p.m. and 2 p.m. as the law permits, he is panting and trembling in the corner of the bathroom. We are drinking some good wine and watching TV to see the year change in places east of here, but it is inconceivable that we would go out and leave our little friend alone in his terror and panic. We keep going in to see how he is and pat him on the head, but all attempts at consolation are futile and I hope he makes it again this year without getting a heart attack.:(:(

The Finnish word for fireworks is ilotulitus, literally "joy firing", but there is no joy for the many little animals who suffer such terror at this time of year.:eek:

Going out and getting pissed is not worth the hangover and 2 days of anxiety. The joys of getting old. Everytime I get a nostagic thought I'm gonna slap my self and say 'Cop on Walrus'.

cena · 31-12-2011 09:03PM

staying in cause I hate nye and I have no friends. Not heard from them all christmas. So I'm not going running after them by text them etc

If "going out" meant more than "Getting as drunk as possible in as little time as possible" i'd be all for it but unfortunately that's not how things are over here in Ireland.

Bull****. "Everyone else" does that, so you have to if you go out as well? It is what you make it.
When I "go out" I never go to clubs, cos as you said, they're ****e. I'll go see some live music, usually enjoy no more than 4 pints, so I'm not incapacited or broke. And lo and behold, I ACTUALLY ENJOY MYSELF. The fun police don't come after me and tell me I'm "too sober to be on a night out in Ireland".
Do what you want.

not1but4 · 31-12-2011 09:05PM

First time in 8 years that I wont be heading out.

Had a fair few options in Belfast, Dundalk and Dublin but I decided to stay in as I couldnt deal with the crowds, the small talk and the awkward craic with people I dont know.

Though just found out my mates from college are going to a gig kinda wish I was going with them now but too late now no more buses to Dublin to get me there in time ah well always next year. :rolleyes:

moonshadow · 31-12-2011 09:05PM

Love fireworks frighten the life outta dogs:D

willmunny1990 · 31-12-2011 09:05PM

Staying in, cant physically drink anymore to be honest, hit it hard the last couple of nights and im sick as a dog now!

should never of drank last night TBH, but New Years is over rated anyway, its always way to packed everywhere.

strobe · 31-12-2011 09:06PM

Yep, I'm staying in I think. I just don't like NYE. No real reason that I can think of. I know people say "Oh everyone will be hammered drunk and talking crap" but that's true of any Saturday night you go out...

Anyways, Happy New Years kids.

I was watching a look back on the year thing on RTE earlier. Lots of stuff happened this year. Two elections, earthquake in NZ and tsunami in Japan, Queens visit, Stone Roses re-uniting, the Arab dawn stuff... strange, didn't seem like it was that busy at the time.

Put a tight T shirt on him. Worked wonders for my noise sensitive Lurcher who suffered a thousand deaths during fireworks, shots etc.

IamtheWalrus · 31-12-2011 09:10PM

To be honest, I'm glad to see the back of Xmas and New Year. It generates exaggerated emotions and feelings.

COP ON WALRUS!

pragmatic1 · 31-12-2011 09:18PM

Staying in because I dont like crowds of people. It gets on my nerves and cant enjoy myself.

Oscars Well. · 31-12-2011 09:20PM

Hate when pubs/clubs are far too crowded plus im also poor

alie · 31-12-2011 09:20PM

Staying in, two children , mortgage week, actually every direct debit we have comes out this week.

claire983 · 31-12-2011 09:20PM

New Years is over exaggerated. It's all a ploy by publicans to make an extra few quid on their busiest night of the year. People use it as an excuse to get drunk.....Happy New Year, feck that, your not going to remember it in the morning when your head is hopping and your mouth is as dry as a bears ass.

Happy New Year

Also broke aswell, so im hating everything to do with new years this year lol

Kiera · 31-12-2011 09:22PM

Went out last night and going out tomorrow for some daytime drinks. Hate NYE.

Sisko · 31-12-2011 09:23PM

I don't have a reason to go out.

busiest night of the year

Is it though? I always thought NYE was a damp squib nowadays, that most people drink in houses.

irelandspurs · 31-12-2011 09:26PM

To many drunken dicks starting fights,and i'm usually one of them.

pdbhp · 31-12-2011 09:26PM

Me, much more fun staying in letting the kids kick the shít out of me then when they go to bed break open the booze and the bag of weed watch some Match of the day.... bliss

In Galway it most certainly isn't anyway when you consider Ladies Day at the Races. I also thought house parties and the likes would keep a good bit away from pubs/clubs

Lady Chatterton · 31-12-2011 09:30PM

Staying in tonight too.

There are a few advantages to staying at home:

No need for a babysitter
No queuing for taxis
No queuing at the bar for drinks
No queuing for the ladies' toilets

The children are in bed, the fridge is packed with nice things to drink, the takeaway has been ordered - Let the fun begin!!!!

claire983 · 31-12-2011 09:38PM

I'm not going on statistics here but for majority of pubs and clubs it is their busiest night of the year.
Alot of ppl do stay in and i can see the benefits to that, but there's also alot of ppl still going out for New Years, hence why every pub and club is gonna be jammers.

I f cuking hate this night. Next year I am seriously considering getting a few sleeping pills so I can sleep through the whole thing!

TouchingVirus · 31-12-2011 09:45PM

Think I broke my big toe so I'm contemplating going to A&E to get an x-ray. F*ck you 2011

Damokc · 31-12-2011 09:46PM

Don't mind going out NYE usually but happy enough to stay at home this year with OH and 5 week old boba:D
