I'm in Ushuaia. End of the year at the end of the world.
Last night is a little hazy. I think I got drunk. I'm almost sober now...
Happy new year to everyone...

Just about recovered from last night, which involved the local boozer, crashing a party down the street and finally crawling to bed about five.

Resolutions: give up smoking, pass driving test, tour Wales to promote album.

Happy new year to y'all. Spread happiness.

Happy New Year all

Tumbled in sometime around 3am and have managed to be hangover free

A dutifully quiet one for me. My girlfriend fractured her tibial plateau (?) when we went skiing last week, so she's pretty immobile at the moment.

A bit boring, but it cost me nothing and I was up for golf this morning, so not all bad....

Pretty quiet night in front of the telly with the other half and a couple of beers while the little 'un was tucked up in bed. Not my usual NYE but a surprisingly enjoyable change (plus the massive amount of money saved is always a bonus!)

Happy New Year one and all.

That's it - it feels miserable at first, but we actually had a pretty good night in, and the feeling of what I didn't spend this morning was tremendous!

Had a bit of an eventful new year. Went to a friends house in Wythenshawe, about 10 of us, for a nice quiet drink. Got to about 11.30pm and the 'quiet' drink had turned into two guys arguing after a few too many, which then got quite messy when girlfriends and stuff got involved. All these shenanigans meant we actually missed the new year! A group of us got very p*ssed off with people being complete twonks and ended up walking to frigging Eccles getting to bed about 5.30. Realised i couldn't afford a taxi home today so I walked it from eccles to farnworth, got in about an hour ago and im fooking shattered.

Anywho, happy new year all

may it bring the best for you and the best out of you!

I never used to enjoy going out on NYE, and since the Barnettas came along in 2001 I've not been able to. I've thoroughly enjoyed avoiding six-deep bar queues, fiver door fees and folk who've had one over the eight. As such I didn't particularly want to go out this time, even though the nippers are in God's country with their grandparents (they had a great time watching the midnight fireworks over Bolton from their aunty's up on the hill in Breightmet), but Mrs Barnet persuaded me and thankfully our local was quiet enough to sit in, friendly enough to chat in and potent enough to get politely trollied in...

Aye, I agree DSB. The older I've got the less I've enjoyed new years eve. I had a nice relaxing evening this time, just staying in and avoiding the herds.

Well, I say it was relaxing but it certainly wasn't quiet - the people in the house behind us had what can only be described as an all night rave in a small marquee in their back garden; I went to sleep at about 2am and they were still going for it then.

Worked out that the last time I went out for a NYE was either 2000 or possibly 2001. Since then I've just avoided heading into village/town/city and had various do's at home with mates. Infinitely preferable as you avoid paying in to the same place that's free for 364 days a year, massive queues at the bar and then a 2 hour wait for a taxi home.

I had 10 or so round at mine this year, which was about the perfect size; a couple of folks with their nippers toddled off and left 6 of us to see in the new year. Many a beer was drunk, and we were all up in time for bacon sarnies and the Fulham-Chelsea game whilst slouched on the sofas.

HNY!

went to a chinese, 30 of us in total, when we decided to just split the bar bill evenly it turned into chaos, people throwing as much down their necks as possible - we were all that pissed, we left before the main course, and i dont recall midnight whatsoever.

How come people that go out on New Years Eve automatically assume the title of 'reveller'? I've never heard this term being applied to anyone else or at any other time.

Think it more applies to the crowds who jump in fountains in public places at midnight than your average "out on the town" type. It originated certainly before New Year became just another night for binge-drinkers and gangs of idiots hell-bent on kicking seven colours out of each other.

Happy New Year folks. Had a quiet night in with the new girlfriend and another couple. Managed to drink quite a few beers and avoid hurting anyone's feelings so all in all a success.

Also gave up smoking for new years's which at this point totally sucks.
