Good meal of stovies at tea-time to give the stomach a lining together with a bottle of wine or two. A few pre-drink drinkies before hitting the pub about 9. Drinky drinky drinky, see in the bells, wee bit of blow as a perk-me-up before hitting the streets and snogging every willing WPC in sight. Then off to a party with the wife, who's got a good few lines of Charlie sorted out together with the bevvy for first footing. Steak pie is in the oven with the timer set to have it ready for tomorrow at 3 for the family coming round. Good lining for the stomach ready for the clubbing tomorrow night followed by the New Year's party at the neighbours. Finish up with some more blow to freshen me up for work on Tuesday.

So you're getting a blow and she's doing Charlie? Wild night for you and Charlie!

300km a week through London on a road bike.
My teenage daughter loves New Year so I will be staying up with her to count down to the New Year.

I (we really) have never 'seen' the new year in,.... as in celebrated it. I do enjoy watching the ORGANISED celebrations shown on TV as the countries on different latitudes?? hit midnight (I record that bit as I am well asleep)
What I have never liked is that for many years our neighbours (couple plus 4 kids) think new year gives them the right to go into the close at midnight and shout/scream as loud as they want........and wake up every other person. Fortunately the kids have grown up & moved away so the problem no longer exists (I hope).

A couple of posters have mentioned Jools.

Is it me, or has the quality of his programme declined in recent years?

It was never broadcasting in the tradition of Lord Reith, but the last couple I've watched have been more irritating then entertaining.

I really don't like new year. I totally hate fireworks so will, like in previous years head off in a car into the middle of nowhere with a book and flask of cocoa and spend the time in quiet contemplation.

Having said that it will be with no sense of regret that I watch this year consigned to history.

We used to watch his shows because of the eclectic mix but yes it had declined and we no longer watch.

That sounds amazing! I'm working but if i wasn't I think I'd do the same. Think I'm off next year so might do just that.

I'm hoping to be in bed, as yesterday I was spewing up copiously. Then it started from the other end.

If I could get two hours kip, now, I reckon I'd be right as rain. However I won't be getting two hours kip.

It's a bit of an odd one, NYE, as Jan 1 is Mrs. 66's birthday. When we used to go out on NYE she'd spend her birthday all teary and miserable because of the hangover. When we don't, however, she feels like we're being antisocial and boring.

Out into Glossop to its best pub for a few beers in the company of some old friends. All back to ours for nibbly food, drinks, Hootananny, board games, dancing in the kitchen until the early hours.

Probably do a NYD ride to blow out the cobwebs

Nothing at all, sounds idyllic. I'm most envious.

I'll be too busy running round after my brats.
