Man of Honour
I don't get excited about it, but it's a fun way of spending an evening with friends.

I never said anything about been a drug addict or alcoholic. I was putting it into the context of this is how last night went for probably over half of the UK. I don't have stats but I bet it's close.

Time as we know is a human construct. I mean the calendar and the time like 3pm etc. Of course time exists. But the calendar and time is just a label for time that we put on to time. It is based on the rotation of the earth and the rotation of the earth around the star. So if you were in space it would not be 3pm or if you were on the moon it would not be 2010. Also there are other religions that have different calendars. So i think some people take it all a bit too literally. I have had some crazy new years in the past so i was happy to just ignore it this year. Happy rotation, lets hope the earth can do another 
no, but it's a good excuse to have a few drinks, see friends and maybe get some beef curtains
Muhahaha

House party is the best way to spend a NYE IMO.
It was all because of the 1999/2000 changeover when bars started charging at the door, and started a culture that goes on to this very day. I guess 99/00 was also partially to blame for door cost to see major World Cup / Euro matches in a bar.

Death is a beautiful and brilliant thing, a transition from one state to the next whereby you have a chance for complete realisation and elevation from mortal being.
What you meant you meant to say was "nah mate, NYE is great fer gettin ****ed lol".
After years of going, spending a fortune on booze and cabs we decided this year to stay at home.
Glad we did. Neither of us even had a drink and we seen the bells in with a cup of tea and bed about 1.
Benefits :
Happy New Year to all.

I respect that, sounds lovely. Sounds like you could actually enjoy it without looking at it through the bottom of a glass.
I had a wonderful night - me and the gf with a bottle of champagne and just after midnight we went to watch the fireworks on Deptford Wharf. Beautiful evening and much better than going into London and getting soused off your knackers with a bunch of people you'd probably rather not spend your time with. I did that for years and I never actually liked it. Just did it because I felt I had to.

I've never been "out" on NYE, only been legal for this one, but I much prefer going to a house party tbh.
I didnt really drink last night either, just a Cider and a Rum and coke, but was still a blast!
- Cheaper
- With friends not idiots
- Normally a lot more banter-ful

Same as Christmas, most people are off work, most people want to go out and enjoy themselves, even if they don't normally come out the rest of the year.
Had a brilliant time last night, did a pub crawl in fancy dress and only two pubs charged to get in, one was £2 the other was £3, although we skipped the latter one, little point paying when there's so much choice.
