That might be the hardest I've laughed browsing these forums. Top stuff.   

I went out to the Meadows in Edinburgh and watched the fireworks over Edinburgh Castle. Came back to my flat after and bevved till the wee hours. Ridiculously tender(loin) now though.

Tenderloin minimise.
Don't know what my Kindle was thinking. I also can't believe I called the lovely, not even particularly large, young lady I met at the kebab van a "random fat chick." I really do need to go tee-total. And I somehow forgot until I woke up and looked at my pillow that I'd painted half my face blue by rubbing my hand on the specials board at the pub, and spent the rest of the evening shouting "FREEDOM" in a voice that would offend most of this forum.

Sounds like you had quite the night out, Buska.

For the sake of humour, please don't.  

My favourite New Year's moment was when we all popped up to the flat upstairs, where another party was going on. Inside was a man sitting with a bag of frozen Quorn mince on his eyes, which he explained was necessary as he walked into a clothesline, causing his glasses to fly from his face into a bush. He couldn't find them, and he now "blind as fuck". The best part of this was he told his tragic tale whilst occasionally lapsing into a Ian McKellen impression. Top stuff.

"Also, Mum, I'm sorry."

What are people's New Year plans then? Anybody going to see some decent fireworks?

Mine were just a friend's house party, but might very possibly be stymied by a train strike.

For the first time in eight years, I'm doing absolutely bugger all for New Year's this year. To be honest, I don't mind the change of pace as I'm back to work on the 2nd, so I'd like to enjoy New Year's Day for a change rather than blagging a lift or paying for an expensive taxi back home whilst ridiculously hungover.

This is purely for my own amusement, but I'd totally forgotten about this and had a right chuckle rereading this story.

I think I'm going out to a local hotel for a three-course meal and black-tie ball. I've never done this on Hogmanay before - I've always either went to empties, gone to the pub, or watched my plans fall completely apart because folk can't be arsed.

And I'm ok with that, I think for Lyla's first year at least we can have a family night in. Although I imagine I'll be the only one up when the date rolls over so will be gaming through to the new year I think.

New Year and Christmas in Japan are kind of reversed compared to back home. Christmas is a bit of fun with your friends and New Year is spent with your family and everyone visits temple.

I'll be spending the evening drinking beers and playing videogames with Rob, then we'll head to temple at new year.

The light of the party that I am I shall be enjoying some sweet sweet sleep at midnight. First time in over a decade I don't live a literal fifty meters from the town's park where the new years fireworks show occurs and I fully intend to enjoy that fact by ushering the new year the way the human body is designed to.

I'm going to be so fun when I'm sixty!

Cappa's winning thus far! Nice stuff sir. Will you know a lot of people there?

My planned house party has fallen through. Fortunately The Lady and I picked up a discount Christmas hamper, so we'll be seeing the New Year in in style while stuffing our faces.

2019 looks good

Don't forget Akira!

Happy New Year gnamers

How dystopian is your idea of 'good' Mas!?

Running Man is also set in 2019

Mainly I wanted the flying cars, Balla

I wanted the fashion.

Five. Years.

(raises glass) It's been a good half-decade for our biggest in-joke.

We're a bawhair away from 2020 - what are youse going to be doing to celebrate it? I'm staying in with family, and really looking forward to it 

I'm in Tokyo. Gonna wing it.

Going to the big football match Taunton away to Tiverton.

I (who gets stressed easily) am taking The Lady (who is quiet) to a party that a colleague is hosting, feat. said colleague (who The Lady's never met) and nobody else I know.

I can see no way in which this can go wrong.

Happy new year everyone.
