Happy new year you fucking plebs.
Happy 2021 ‘mates’.
Happy New Year fella's.
Are you in the future yet @Queenslander? Is everything still shit?
Queenslander is always one step ahead of us.
Still annoyed he didn't warn us about 9/11.
His hairline is in 2042.
Tell us the temperature of the future, sir.
Fucking knackered, doubt I'll even make it to midnight.
Happy New Year, just mixing a few of these as a tasteful tribute:
For some reason despite it only being 8pm here there has already been a bonfire night level firework barrage. Can only assume social media is fuelling this shit, a couple of bangers at midnight used to be the norm.
I'm skimming through the BBC's notable deaths and it just confirms how long and shite this year has been. I forget Glenn Roeder went. And Carlos Reutemann. And two blokes from UB40.
I saw some horrid thing on facebook about how a kid born in 1914 lived through pandemics, World Wars, The Great Depression and the like and THAT'S WHY THE YOUNG PEOPLE OF TODAY ARE TERRIBLE. By the same token, I've lived through Chernobyl, countless Cold War near misses, two Gulf Wars, Srebrenica, the siege of Sarajevo, IRA bombings, 9/11, every other terrorist bombing, A pandemic and I've still got 50 years of global warming to go.
Happy new year everyone. I'll get myself a $25 pizza and be in bed by 10pm.
I was hoping to stay up but everything is cancelled and I can’t stay awake til midnight these days anyway.
I might stay up til midnight but I'm already feeling the drink.
How good are espresso martinis
Sir Tony Blair, fuck me.
Them and negronis are cocktails worth fucking about with at home
I'm not saying espresso martinis cause brain damage but...
You not a fan? You get to use a Moka Pot which you can probably find someone willing to charge you a month's rent for.
Happy New Year lads.
Welcome to 2022. Population us.
What are the BBC doing? Just do some fireworks you cunts, what the fuck is this shit?
They must have canned the Captain Tom drones after his NHS views came to light earlier.
Cancel Tom, more like. He's probably a transphobe an 'all.
I stayed in with the folks, we watched a dogshit movie (the one with Di Caprio, Meryl Streep etc and the asteroid) and then watched the fireworks and Olly Alexander, the resident boomers departed stage left after about 30 seconds of the latter. Chef's kiss. Happy new year to you all.
Happy new year lads. There's nowhere open on justeat so I just ate a load of cheese.
Happy new year! We get to leave the hospital today so FM can continue.
Are your FM days not over now or is the nanny already hired?
I probably won't have the time but you can have dreams. That's what new year is all about, unattainable goals.
I've stopped even making them with this pandemic shite. And people really do seem to think 2022 will be different even though they all said the same thing 12 months ago.
I agree. The only thing I'd like to achieve is a decent level of conversational German by the end of the year.
If myself and 4 other people are still here by next Jan then I'm happy.
Speaking of which, have we heard from @SvN since he came down with Covid?

That would be quite the post to go out on.
Maybe the kid he sacked has them kidnapped in his basement?
It would have been too if those in charge had trusted in the vaccine. They didn't and we are where we are because of it. Only so many times that can happen though and hopefully those countries that have stood firm over Omicron have demonstrated that we don't need to shit the bed every time a variant of concern turns up and we can get on with things instead.
Well, last New Years Eve we were sat in the house, not allowed to see anyone. This New Years Eve we took the kids to London to watch Disney on Ice, got the tube to various tourist destinations and had a nice sit down meal in an overpriced restaurant.
That's quite different and enough for me to be getting on with anyway.
2021 was very different to 2020 once lockdown was removed. I think there will still be caution but the threat of covid will lessen again this year post Omicron and completion of boosters.
2022 will be just fine. I woke up this morning and the sun was out for the first time since about September, it all bodes well.
It is a lovely morning here too and the endless fireworks from two streets over have stopped as well. Happy days.
