Hogmanay / New Years Plans 2024

Terminal_Boy · Tuesday at 20:06

Food, wine, chocolate and most likely in bed before midnight.

Did the big NYE night out in London thing a couple of times over the years, but the last time was probably 2014/15 when our favourite local restaurant was still open. The big fireworks were an utter PITA to get to and from the last time we went in 2005. It must be properly diabolical now.

NYE fireworks are mostly a Paris thing over here, with Bastille Day being the annual local fireworks event. French NYE tradition is a big meal with friends & family and falling into a cheese and wine induced coma in the early hours of NYD.

Working until 2200 so won't be home until 2230, and I'm back in tomorow. But now I'm single and living on my own I can't be arsed to do anything. Might eat chocolate and watch Jools Holland until I go bed.

Going to get plastered on Guinness and rum, just for a change.

No celebration and another early night.

Nothing particularly interesting planned, same as recent years. Just a quiet night in. I've got a few beers in and still on leave so I'll be awake for it. Most of the evening I'll just be gaming/watching YouTube. I'll likely stick the BBC Scotland Hogmanay show on at 2330, but its never been the same since Jackie Bird called it a day, every host since has just been complete dog ****.

Poxy fireworks already going off here and the poor cats are terrified. Bloody fireworks!!

Damn now I might have to stay up to see that.

Only managed one beer and half a glass of wine, so not quite on track. I'd need at least another 5 beers before even starting to browse that bloody place.

For how long?

The Funktopus · Tuesday at 21:53

Working the night shift on a floating storage unit in the North Sea.

Midnight falls during my lunchtime, so I might have to raise a Brewdog Hazy AF to celebrate.

Meal out with family, couple of drinks at home and then bed whenever I feel tired...which is probably well before midnight :cry:

First drink in 4 years and some medical cannabis. What could go wrong…

Hello from 2025.

Nothing catastrophic has happened yet, so that's a good start.
