    Don't like new years either, pay into pubs full of drunks telling me its the best night of the year is not my idea of fun.
    Halloween is my favorite- the people dressed up a normally the ones up for a laugh and a bit of crack.
    Paddys day house party normally good fun
    Good Friday drink-athon always a mess.

    I used to work in a bar so never had this night off. Before that we spent it as a family night in and visiting our next door neighbours was the height of going out then. Tonight I'm watching David Hasselhoff read the bedtime story on Cbeebies with my two daughters then making a nice steak for me and the OH.

    Never saw the need to make this night/day a night on the town.

    This is a country obsessed by alcohol.

    Like 'Love Day', another makey uppy day to plug a gap in the market.

    Oh I get that and any old excuse to drink but just the whole hype of New Years has never hit me, ever, like it does others.

    Haven't celebrated it since 1991.

    I'd say Manchester United will definitely get rid of Alex Fergusen this year the will never topple the mighty Liverpool with him in charge.

    Also I'd say a band called Nirvana will dominate the music scene for the next 20 years.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,184 ✭✭✭3ndahalfof6


    oo and on the holiday thing, baa holbug I say, I might be going out tonight and I intend to be a complete moronic shiit head, happy new year everybody.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,058 ✭✭✭✭Abi


    Haven't gone out for new years eve in years, doesn't appeal to me at all.

    Don't you ruin another love day!

    The only 'holiday' I'll ever enjoy is the day of my funeral.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,144 ✭✭✭DonkeyStyle \o/


    I'll be ringing in the new year by taking a massive crap. The people on the TV will count me down, then cheer and set off fireworks in honour of my victory.

    Spoken like a true man! And you in the cold dead earth!


    I have no great affection for any holiday other than days off work.

    Erm...I suppose.:confused: Try and hold on for a few more hours, though.

    I normally have a party but this year no one wanted to come, so I'm just gonna sit in and have a few drinks and be miss Lonely. :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 355 ✭✭purplegeko


    Always have had an irrational hatred for New Years eve and having been to a funeral this morning I now have a reason.

    Also really hate Velentines

    Will be staying in and watching the Jools Holland show, having a few drinks and relaxing.

    In my early 20's it made perfect sense to pay 20 quid in to a pub that you had to queue for 30 minutes to get a drink in then spill half it wading through the crowd trying to get back to your standing spot, fcuk that for a game of soldiers.

    Argh, I'm turning in to me Dad the older I get, someone please help!
