What are you doing for new year's eve?
And, what's your new year's resolution?
This is the first year we'll be staying at home and not socialising. Looking forward to being in bed by 11pm.
My new year's resolution is to stop swearing.

For the past 3 years me and the Mrs have got a few drinks and a Dominos, and watched New Years rubbish on TV. Can't see that changing.
First time in memory that I potentially have no plans at all. I'd be alright with that, but if I stay in I want the flat to myself.
I don't bother with New Year's so it'll be me, the wife and a Chinese Takeaway.
Actually I might break with tradition and go Chinese instead of pizza too. A munchy box would be the business.Originally Posted by Byron
The whole charging people to go in a pub is a load of bollocks.
Think we're getting steaks in. Last time i cooked a steak, I nailed it.
What's a munchy box?
I'm in Scotland with the in-laws so will be going to a caleidgh (sp). My mates coming up as well for it so it should be a fun night.
A spice bag with some extra bits thrown in. All in a pizza box.
The contents vary from place to place.
Dreadful night planned. Will explain later when I'm less dead.
Paying a score out for me and the wife to go to a pub with our friends, fucking joke. I wouldn't mind but I bet its rammed three deep at the bar.
Ceilidh (still sp, but probs closer). My sister's having one of these at her wedding, as she's marrying a jock. The mind boggles.
Going to my parents for a more festive dinner and then just staying around there. Having a kid (and growing the fuck up realizing it's about the worst night out of the year most of the time) drastically changes your take on New Years Eve. Even if I wanted a good old sloshing, It would be impossible to find a babysitter as nobody doesn't have plans on NYE, which anyway I don't really want to.
Going out on New Year's Eve is pretty crap. Everything is busier, more expensive, and full of people who only go out once a year.
This picture of me trying to fight my way through the sea of plebs to get to my group for "the bells" last year always makes me laugh though.
The pubs charging started here on the 99/00 one and started a new tradition where most people stay in or throw a party. Pubs (outside the cities/large towns) are generally deserted.
It's the new way of life now Jim. Embrace it.
Have a listen to my father in law http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0854x12 and become more Scottish.
Are your wife's lot not Portuguese or have you a couple or Mrs'?
Bearded fella necking with the saucey looking lass top right. Noice.
50/50 split of Portuguese Scotland.
Party at my house. Prob about 10 coming. I wanna set a firework off. Can you buy them individually?

Don't let Mike in without shoes.
In bed by nine.
Make your own and let us know how it goes.

That's a surprise @Pepe, you're normally so sociable and cheery.
What if it's with a couple of birds?
New Years is genuinely the worst holiday of the year.
The weird posh 31 year old English lady I was seeing in Edinburgh tried to get me to go to a beginners ceilidh night on our second date. The group even uploaded footage on their Facebook page. I politely told her I would give it a miss.
Nothing worse than spending the night waiting to get served.
Eagle karaoke on Saturday, Andy
I actually wanted to do something this year, but the options are crap, so I'll watch a film.
I'm well pumped for the Hootenanny.
You, Phill Jupitus, and the BBC accounts department (who are all white).
The only non-white people involved are (the fabulous) Orrell J. Williams and the Boomer Guilt Band, and possibly an appearance for Reginald D. Hunter in the audience if he doesn't have anything else on.
I hope to be working but if not I'll see midnight by clicking 'Continue'.
The appeal of being swamped at a bar whilst paying extortionate prices to feel like shit for the three days that proceed went years ago.
Mostly that:
I am not very sociable but I am very cheery, believe it or not.
I haven't 'gone out' in a long while, at least six months I think. That will all change in January when I'm in Mexico.
The first one was in 1993, which sits it at a nice point between Tony Blair and a tired, backwards-looking Britain where Jools Holland was considered cool.

Cocaine and tequila
Let's say you were all, individually, going to a house party for New Year. You know all the guests so don't need to worry about mingling or copping off.
What would make it rubbish?
And what would make it good?
Like for me it'd be rubbish if Cards Against Humanity was brought out, or any drugs, or if the telly was on and everything was just watching that.
What would make it good with be good music, lots of drinks available for everyone to drink even if they didn't bring it. Ice cubes are a must, or at least ice cold mixers/beers. And my cat being sociable rather than hiding upstairs.
I'm a twit
Get people to have a go at making cocktails.
I'm supposed to be going out but I'm not sure I can be arsed. I went out last night and don't remember getting home and now I feel like shit.
Waff already answered it in the post above yours.
Just make sure we have a good D&D area and you're set?
I get in some pretty bad states but I always remember. Rarely get hungover too ����
Don't do drugs but tequila will definitely be involved. I'll probably be wasted after two shots.Cocaine and tequila
No new year's resolutions?
All perfect are you....
I'm going to start giving less of a fuck about people.
If Waff has indeed commenced class A usage someone of his self control will be dead within 2 years.
I bet Smiffy has some.
I came to the realisation some years ago that NYE is bollocks. Friends used to have a house party but babies have put paid to that and our potential attendance. Wife likes watching Hootenanny so imagine that'll be it.
