Never been out NYE for years, too many d/heads out on their ‘annual once a year night out’ … who either can not handle their drink, or greet you like you are their long lost mate…and then go on ignore you for rest of year…
As my mate used to say ‘‘Ya cannot get to the bar for effin tee totallers’’
So basically me and my zero tolearance to knobs has seen me and Mrs having a NYE house party for the family for last few NY’s eves.
Not this year…
Since Boxing Day I have been as rough as a bear’s arse with Manflu.
I had numerous days out planned meeting up with old mates from past,but I only managed one Sunday afternoon out a week last Sunday watching football…been stuck in house ever since.
So although glad of the time off ,but not been a great hol socially.
So basically gonna be sat here tonight being a complete grumpy bast watching Jools Holland again, maybe not even feeling like a decent drink.
Happy New year anyhoo.
New Years Eve has always for me been massively over-rated, lots of A-holes who can’t take their drink without wanting to start a fight because someone looked at them the wrong way, or fake “Aal the best for the New Year marra” sentiments from slavvery drunks hanging on your shoulder.
The best New Years’ shindigs I’ve had were the ones where a big bunch of us rented some guest houses in a remote Lake District village, with a proper old-fashioned pub at the end of the lane. But once people in the group started becoming parents, these events started tailing off.
My late Father in Law was a Vaux tenant for many years ( my wife was born in the Colliery Inn, Houghton le Spring) and he always said you would get customers in the pub on NYE and not see them again until the next NYE.
All the best for 2025 to anyone and everyone on TN.
Yes, I am definitely a stay at home bloke these days. On my own with the dogs now I was invited for Christmas dinner at my friends down the hill, and a good time it was too, but tonight I will be in bed before the changeover, and mine is one hour ahead of most of yours.
Saw my old stamping grounds around Sydney Harbour Bridge earlier though, that was nice, so I’ve already seen the New Year in.
Happy new year to all at TruckNetUK, I haven’t been out on New Year’s Eve for decades for the same reasons given.
Missus was in bed all day yesterday with flu symptoms & I caught up with some YT channels I’m subscribed to, I’m not interested in TV, I haven’t switched the telly on in decades.
I had a bottle of Henry Weston cider & a G&T to see the year out.
It must have been the quietest New Year’s Eve I can remember regarding fireworks going off due to the deluge here.
Just been telling a mate…you mention tv, I’ve spent most of the hol sat bingeing out on a few series of ‘Seal Team’, a US Special forces drama…and got a bit too much into it…
I’m now walking around the house fully ‘alert and wired’.
New year eve for goodness sake I was in bed for 10pm. What exactly is there to celebrate it’s a bloody con.
Not to mention I’m very anti people anyway and don’t drink except once in a blue moon these days. In fact it’s been that long since I had an alcoholic drink I couldn’t even begin to figure out the last time I drank alcohol.
Fully erect and h0rny ?
I’m getting kinda worried now…have you got cameras in my house?
As for alchohol…nowt wrong with it… if you know how to handle it.
I love it, it releases all different versions of myself at different times.
Good and bad…but NEVER ugly.
I’ve got this vision of you btw,.sat alone in your house wearing a Grinch suit.
Is “■■■■■■■■■■ still censored on here? Or do I have to make reference to “see you next Tuesday”?
One of my f’in neighbours last night had THE LOUDEST fireworks I’ve ever experienced in my entire life, I kid you not, I thought the gas boiler had exploded, the whole house shook. For 20 minutes it felt like I’d been transported to a war zone.
You always get one ‘kin superstar’ who goes right ott in everything.
Like the one in every street in the UK, the ‘King of bad taste at Christmas’ who has his house lit up like Blackpool every bloody year that can be actually seen from space.
Some people have no finesse about them.
Aye, it’s the NYE equivalent of getting into shed loads of debt just to be the one who has the newest and biggest BMW in the street - I hope this small-penised w-anchor has skinted himself even more
