    Thank fuck it’s over is all I can say, forcing yourself to be happy because it’s New Year’s Eve, utter bollocks, always happier when it’s gone.

Our local will have order for Mr Ian ready in 30 minutes. Although last time I rang it was ‘between 30 minutes and half an hour.’

Got a similar itineray tonight but a Chinese, just been for a couple of pints to a local craft type bar - takeaway obvs, stood outside freezing our nuts off. Better than nowt though & not much else we can do at the mo. Happy New Year folks.

Had some expensive NYE nights out in the past. Can think of nowt worse now. Pubs are full of people you don't like/don't know/once a year goer outers. I also don't do hugs/kisses unless it's my child or Idris Elba. 

I'm such a happy joyful person 👍

should be in the Lakes 

Daughter said come round she is having a few friends round 

but a TakeAway  and bed by 10 i think 

I put my spice valley order in 2 days ago 😎

Hopefully they didn't cook it 2 days ago

Hope they didn’t take the piss and sorted you in 30 minutes.

I was in Sydney last year, doing fuck all tonight. Having a few Jaipur’s but that’s about it.

Not sure where I’ll be next New Year but assuming I’m still alive, I’ll be out somewhere

I'll be watching the Ripper on Netflix, always enjoy cheering myself up on NYE.

Drinks, takeaway and discussing next years plans 

 Beers. Lots of beers

Run out of Katy, run out of red wine, Craig Charles on, doing the pots. 

Nocturnal kids are in bed, other kids have gone doing whatever it is they do, wife has now got Ugly Kid Joe blaring out.

It's been absolutely shit for the nocturnals this year but we've all made it through including the oldies so I'm kind of happy and we go again next year.

Not much else you can do is there?

Chicken casserole int thuven. Got a unopened bottle of Glenfiddich, and I'm social distancing like the hermit I am.

 

No fuss, no problem.

TBF pretty much the same as last year 

2 cans of Guinness, box of Sauvignon Blanc and a huge pile of Indian starters to graze on during the evening

Will find summat on TV to watch 

Never been big on NYE so don’t feel like I’m missing out on much. Brucie Bonus is everyone is being sensible so house will be empty apart from us

This year has been particularly painful after the death of the MiL. Every “occasion” - Mrs Manc’s 50th, what would have been the MiL’s birthday, the FiL’s birthday, stepdaughters birthday, Xmas - have ended up with a load of pissheads weeping and wailing about the MiL not being here. I know that I sound a bit of a cunt but I just couldn’t stand another night of it. The booze sets them off and it becomes unbearable

On that happy note this miserable get wishes all you bumders, deviants, criminals, racists and commies a Happy New Year 👍

Nothing wrong there mate. Only so much shit anyone can take.

Countless footage and reports on TV of dead people: as sad as each case is, it becomes too much. 

Enjoy your evening, have a drink and a laugh or whatever. You deserve it.

All the best.

Probably has to take a blue pill at his age but give him an hour or so

Lignum Vitae no doubt :)

 

Spent NYE in some amazing places but just a quiet night in for the 2 of us tonight. Wife’s on an early shift so probably an early night as well. Boilers fixed (for now) so at least it’s warm.

👍 Aye. Best wishes to you, your good lady and your lad and thanks from both of us for what you’ve done this year for my mum
