Me... **** all and happy about it!
I haven't done 'New Year' for several years. A friend of mine said that 'new years eve is for amateurs' and I couldn't agree more. People who don't usually go out but do so because it's expected of them, then drink too much and fall out, etc, etc...
it's a takeaway and a movie for me, then watching fireworks explode over the Cheshire plain from my kitchen window (as I've done, religiously, for the past few years)... but do YOU have something great planned?
???

We'll go to my wife's parent's summer cottage. It's at a coast of a lake called Kyyjärvi (Viper Lake in English). Planning to wake up at 4:00 AM on Wednesday and drive the 450km's it's going to take. I have the 31th of Dec and second of Jan free from work, so we've a 5 days vacation. Going to spend it there at the cottage. Will just have to buy enough food and drinks there. Wife's parents will arrive there on Sat so we'll gonna prepare some food, chop some wood for sauna etc.

Oh how i fckin hate new year it always brings back bad memories of relatives getting pissed and my mum cracking up at them because she wanted something different. Being Scottish you get the old traditional crap wheeled out every year rabbie burns Kenneth McKellar Andy Williams etc etc. I'm going to do my now traditional things a few Budweisers and jager bombs stick on my 30th anniversary nma dvd and bring in the bells with Justin and boys , canny beat it !

Hate it too, mate... can you believe a pal of mine once tried to get me to go camping in Scotland on NYE, staying in a bothy in the middle of The Highlands, somewhere obscure? :o
I believe the words I said in reply were 'you ******* mentalist...'
:D

Detest New Years Eve, always have done. Whats to celebrate, another year of your life has flown by with little in it to make you glad that you lived it.
Why celebrate the passing of time. Time is all we have. You keep time to watch your life slip away. We are all aware what year it is, and what age we are. We carry time and our age like a burden. We difne ourselves and our stage of life by how old we are. "I am in my 40's", "50's", so you have an idea of how long you have left.
Burn all calendars, smash all watches.
I NEED MORE TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMMMMMMMMMME

Working.

Working the night shift in an NHS hospital............
Thankfully not in the A&E department

Nothing. What makes New Years any different?
-
^^^yep^^^
Just another night. Although, saying that, me and my boyfriend have a sort of tradition where we play board games, the older and crapper the better.
He is Scottish and doesn't get the "but it's new years eve!" thang either.
Those of you who know him know he's a huge beer fan and has his own beer blog.
You can get pissed and have a fight any day of the week so why is new years eve so special ?
:-\

Making butter chicken curry and a few beers if the littlun allows it. Id invite you all over but its quite clear youre all miserable arses and would spoil the night ;D
-
Nothing special `til now - hanging around, music, a book, eating and drinking - the best is to have two days off!

Well to tell the truth a nice Curry usually makes me not such a miserable arse, I do like the odd beer or two and if it helps - I really like fireworks too................... ;D
-
Yeah, your planned NYE night sounds good Drummyb. Night in with the family, good food, good drink.
I will do similar, but without the cooking. Anything but go down the pub and have to spend half an hour queuing up with pissed up teenagers to get a watered down pint, the teenagers screaming at the top of their voices to be heard over the shite pop music which has been turned up to full volume to mark the occasion.
Didn't like that kind of NYE night even when I was a pissed up teenager :D
-
Wish you good new year.
Remember to take care of yer brothers and sisters.
Beer.

Good ales, old friends, new friends, Yes there`s fireworks; although we`ve calmed them down as the last the time something went "BANG!" too loud in Catterick they shut the A1! Haggis toasties and a nip to see out Old Years Night. Have a good one folks!
-
Haggis toasties wow
-
Remember to take care of yer brothers and sisters.
Well said my friend.
Love to all in the New Year and be well

Cheers! Please while shooting the fireworks, may you please shoot one vegan haggis here too. ;)

This is what we're doing, pretty much. There'll be no partying or other such nonsense in our house, just a bit of relaxing after a day spent hedging; I'll be lucky if I'm still awake at midnight.

Thought I'd resurrect this one, seeing as there's only a few days left of 2015 and, quite frankly, I can't wait to kick 2015 right in the arse and send it tumbling into the abyss... truly terrible year for me!
For me... the same as last year, see my original post, it's probably the last NYE that I'll spend living here in my flat...
What you lot doing?

Hogmanay is probably the worst time of year to be Scottish Imo , all that traditional singing and dancing and over drinking.
Firstly 2015 has been a good year for me, managed to quit smoking, one year cigarette free next week. Managed to see nma 3 times ( Newcastle, Edinburgh and Nottingham) Met a few decent people this year as well. Managed to buy a few decent things as well.
Hogmanay 2015/ New year 2016 just planning on spending by myself this year at the moment, alcohol free either a DVD or iplayer / all4 / youtube . Never liked new year n probably never will
-
Oh, Pol I just laughed my arse off because earlier when you talked about the hogmanay waiting around the corner in the Christmas thread I wondered what's that. I thought it must be a hangover or something! ;D

Its what we Scots call new years eve Rusco

Stay at home with mucho drinks. HATE pubs on N.Y.E. full of drunken idiots who you have never met before suddenly wishing you happy new year. Can't see the point in celebrating the passing of time. Time is all we have. Its hard for me to come to terms with the fact this new millennium is going to be 16 years old. !!
>:(

Communication breakdowns at the board. ;)
Don't mean to be rude mates. Sometimes a way we talk here where I am is a way straight but it's not meant to be insulting. (I know my language sounds very gibberish nonsense to most of you) :)
But on the other hand, it's also about a sense of humour we all have on our own way. I admit my sense of it is ironic.
Good posts you all have. Interesting to read what your plans are.

Me I will Have a Bottle of Martini & Rossi Sparkling wine a smoking pipe with some exotic Chronic Listening to some music ( And I include NMA in that ;D) then later on in the early morning hours I will put a Rib Roast in the oven for a couple of hrs to cook and include Mashed Potatoes with peas by the mid morning when I am done I will be watching one of the colonies Favorite pastimes getting blitz and watching all the college Football games on the telly ( and when I say Football I don't mean soccer ;)) Since this New Years falls on friday I have the whole weekend to just chill and become a video and audio zombie totally stoned immaculate. ;D 8)

-
I will be walking, Northamptonshire countryside is so beautiful. If I bump into someone with a brace of pheasants, then all the better!

Some thoughts (Bernd das Brot) at the end of a year (and of the clip):
"Also, wenn ihr mich fragt, was hier aber sowieso niemand tut, war das ein echt schlimmes Jahr. Eigentlich wie vorletztes Jahr. Und das Jahr davor. Und das Jahr davor erst. Das war die Hölle. In Bunt. Also wie jedes Jahr. Mein Leben ist die Hölle!
Ähm, nun ja. Ein kluger Mann hat einmal gesagt: "Die Hölle, das sind die Anderen." Er hat recht. Eigentlich hoffe ich immer nur, daß es nicht noch schlimmer kommt.
Doch seid gewiss, es wird schlimmer. Immer wenn man denkt, das nächste Jahr kann nicht schlimmer kommen, kommt es noch schlimmer als schlimmer. Schlimmer-schlimm eben. Naja, glaubt mir... es wird, es wird... die Hölle!
Ein neues Jahr beginnt, vergesst alle guten Vorsätze, lasst alle Hoffnung fahren, am Besten grabt ein Loch und setzt Euch rein!
Ein sehr tiefes Loch. Ich würde das ja auch machen, aber meine Arme sind zu... ihr wisst schon.
Naja, um diese lächerliche Ansprache zum Ende zu bringen, ein paar abschließende Worte: Hinter uns liegt ein schlimmes Jahr, und vor uns liegt vielleicht noch ein schlimmeres. Also, macht euch keine Illusionen. Alles bleibt wie immer, nur schlimmer. Bleibt in Deckung und haltet immer nach dem nächsten Amboss Ausschau, der euren Namen trägt."
:)
