NYE

[HarryTheDog]

With my two young adult children at home I will be sober and Dad's taxi tonight or more accurately taxi in the early hours of tomorrow. Hopefully neither will get too inebriated.

Work till 8pm and in work tomorrow. Might have a wee beer when I get home but no plans for doing anything else.

Why does not going to a pub for a drink make people miserable?

Doesn't make someone miserable and there is a lot of pressure to have enforced fun...which is crap...but I do believe that its healthy to celebrate a traditional event like this with people that you love...just like birthdays.

I know there may be a time...one day...when I wont be able to spend time with friends...so make the most of it whilst we are are all still able.

Celebrations which tend to take place around a drinking establishment. I've been "sober" for nearly 7 years yet some of the company I once kept (even in cycling circles) didn't understand the importance of this. I was to "enjoy myself" and get pissed along with them,

Not happening

As a (mostly) non drinker it seriously annoys me that most people assume you can't enjoy yourself unless you get drunk and try to force you to drink.

I can only tolerate being with drinking people for so long then I'm off.

New Year? Brilliant! It's up there with looking at pies, making pies, eating pies, talking about pies and Christmas.

I'm so excited that I'm aiming to have an embryonic plog (pie blog) up and running for the New Year.

This thread is an interesting contrast to the thread a week or so ago when CCers were posting pics of considerable quantities of alcohol which they iintended to consume over Christmas and Boxing Day.

Just as well tonight is a celebration so they can "top-up" at great expense

I get the same feeling with teetotallers

CC seems to be full of miserable feckers....or maybe a thread like this self selects?

Out with friends to a nice pub for a few drinkies. Then back to ours for some bits and bobs to eat. Watch Jools, have a laugh, go to bed

Bear in mind there are a lot of old feckers here.

NYE lost all meaning once we had kids. It's nice to know that other people are out having fun though.

I'll be watching Jools alone with a bottle of red again, remembering some of the past NYE madness

Poweramps switched on to warm up. check
Bottle of Single Malt still half full. check
Peanuts and nibbles in cupboard. check
Prosecco in fridge. check
Stilton removed from fridge. check
Digestive biccies and bottle of Tawny Port purchased, check
Woodburner cleaned out and loaded. check

Well that's me sorted.
