Though possibly not one for the 'lads', dependent on your definition.

If it makes you feel better, it never is.

Going out on new years (at night) is not my thing, prefer to hit the pub in the afternoon and then relax at home with the vino in the evening. Get yourself down somewhere near the river for the fireworks though, they always look incredible on TV.

I don't do NYE always do NYD instead now. I will be here:

You need to plan where you want to go and get tickets for it (or if you want to have a house party - organise it!) - wandering around aimlessly is not fun on New Years Eve, but is very easy to do in London because you end up with paralysis of choice with too many options!

It's fun to have random nights out, but New Years Eve is one of those times when you need a plan!

Me and a few mates are either going to Koko or Cable. Should be fun.

This definitely.

NYE is always expected to be massive and an awesome night and is always a let down unless it is organised well.
