    Default Doing anything for New Year's Eve?

    Just a night in with a few friends. Did the same last year and it was pathetic-fell asleep, and woke up at 12.15. This time it will be my 60th birthday, so hopefully some nice pressies to wake up to.

    We've decided that next year we'll go back to our old tradition of visiting friends in Ayr, they know how to see in the New Year!

    How about you guys, what's your most pitiful/embarrassing/memorable/forgettable NYE, and what's planned for this year?

    Yeah, New Years eve is fairly crap these days. I think although we like to moan about our lot generally we are much beter off these days and can afford to indulge throughout the year, so come New Years eve it’s nothing special anymore.

    I'll be doing what I usually do - celebrating the passing of another crap year (each year seems to be worse than the last) and hoping vainly that 2018 will be better (which given the current geo-political situation is unlikely).

    Another one here who is seeing in the New year alone. But I like it that way. Going to be listening to some music probably and at about midnight send a flurry of text messages. then off to bed.

    I'll be on here probably Grant. Your post was a bit sad. PM me and have a chat if you like.

    I agree with Paul, New Years Eve has become crap. I think my falling asleep last year was my body telling me 'give it up, you're flogging a dead horse'.

    I was shooting for some amusing stories of past parties etc., instead I seem to have brought up some amount of 'been there, done that, and its's crap', and some sadness too. For that I apologise and will just simply wish you all a happy and prosperous new year, wherever you are.

    cheers Chris.(and ta for the offer) Didnt really mean it to be that sad. Its just the way it is nowadays.When younger, neighbours would first foot each other etc, or you'd go to a party or parties
    Used to enjoy them when in my teens and 20's especially. big spreads at every house down the road... sliding about on the snowy paths desperately holding the bottle
    Folk dont do it like that now, and its a shame, but thats progress I guess.
