I might go to my local pub for a few pints but that's about it. I can't understand why people go to those massive firework displays in the big cities. Not only are you crammed in like sardines in a tin but i learnt the other day that the London and Edinburgh ones are sold out, meaning that you actually have to pay to watch them!:ohmy:

It's a bit short notice but a colleague of mine could probably sort out some pyrotechnics and a water feature for you.

"Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?"

Hmmmm.....if you've forgotten these auld acquaintances there was probably a reason for doing so so why bring them to mind?

What's wrong with having to pay to watch the fireworks? Why should the taxpayer fund a load of tourists (and drunks) to watch free fireworks!?

I shall be with family, a glass of bubbly or two and the fireworks on TV!

Why have fireworks at all? I never remember them as a kid, the first year I remember there being proper displays was 2000.

In London I think it's just a. an attempt to raise some money now and b. an attempt to stop the alcoholic thuggery that used to occur when everyone was eventually turfed out of Trafalgar Sq,

Why not? Most other major world cities have them. I don't think money is raised per se, I think an attempt is made to cover the crazy costs of a major world class display, provide free transport all night (I'm sure the RMT don't do it out of the goodness of their hearts) and cover the inevitable policing that is needed in the city

If I can muster up some enthusiasm I'll pop up to Primrose Hill to watch the fireworks, mind you I've been saying that for the last 5 years, still haven't been!
BTW Happy New Year

Off to friends house in Ely in an hour. A bunch of old canoe club friends who still socialise (most if them here on Christmas Day)
Bring and share curry night with a few drinks.

Tomorrow we are going for a "bike ride".... This may not be my idea of a bike ride. It's either at Grafham Water or Rutland. Rutland is further to get to but will be a better ride, so gets my vote! There will be faffing a plenty.

My days of getting drunk on New Year's Eve are long gone.

I'm not keen on parties, so even if I had an invite I would probably do as I'm going to do and stop in.

Jools on the telly is a possibility, although for the last couple of years I've found his patter rather juvenile so I may not bother watching this time.
