Mungler Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 We had people round and had a great time. The thing about getting old is that you can't get a decent nights sleep anymore or stay in bed past 9 am no matter how late to bed you were and when you look at mass events like the fireworks on the embankment, you can't but help think (1) how are you all getting home and (2) what if you need to have a poo? Add in queues and impossible to get a beer and it's a total non starter for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderbird Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 (2) what if you need to have a poo? So true. We were watching the highlights of last year's Glastonbury in the early hours of this morning, post-festivities, and all I could think about was how I might set up some sort of leg-bag convene so I could have a pee any time I wanted if I went to a festival.

Scully Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 It doesn't really bother me one way or the other; it's just another day. It is easy to avoid if I feel that way inclined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, never celebrated it, I used it as an excuse to cook masses of pork souvlaki last night. Wife was in bed by 10, I fell asleep with my daughter on the sofa and missed it all!

team tractor Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) I feel saddened by the new year. My parents are another year older My sisters been gone another year My daughter will be at high school this year. Life's going quick but I'm alive, healthy ( ish) , have a house, food, drink, my kids are wonderful and healthy. If I'm honest life's pretty good Oh and I spent New Year's Eve on the sofa with the Mrs with food and drink. I went to bed , admired the view , said good night and happy new year to my sister and then went to sleep at 1am Edited January 1, 2017 by team tractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 Blimey TT glass half empty. We can fly to the moon and back, talk to people real time on the other side of our planet. We cannot unfortunately go back in time and change things. Those that are no longer with us would not want us grieving until we ourselves depart this world. I am sure they would want us to be happy for the rest of out time here. In particular your little sis. I always remember the giggles and silly things that those close to me used to be like before they left. Like my step dad falling in the Shannon and panicking about his flat cap that was sailing away.

I do giggle especially when I see my kids argue A few days before she died she sat me on her rowing machine and fed me chocolate until I was sick lol. My house over looks the church 2 miles away so that's why I wish her well. I also remember the night we lost her. She came home drunk with her boobs falling out giggling . Oh my eyes lol. Mum and dad went nuts But as I say I'm alive and healthy with an awesome family a lot of people would love the chance Edited January 1, 2017 by team tractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisheruk Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 Well I wish all my friends and acquaintances on PW all the best for 2017. Hope to meet some of you in the course of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul1440 Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 I don't dislike it as it gives reason to meet up. Don't drink myself though as I don't want to ruin the shoot on New years day. Plus driving on New years eve makes you a hero and saves a fortune in Taxis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly.. My dad said life is for the living. Sure, I remenber the the times we had and miss him and others that have made a difference to me. But it's just as, if not more important to have more good times with those around me now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Holliday Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 I find it a bit of pain as it robs me something most other folk take for granted. It's my birthday. Not that that in itself is reason for feeling robbed but you try getting a table in a nice restaurant for a quiet evening out. Even if you could, you'd be paying way over the odds and be surronded by folk that are half cut and singing 'Auld Lang Syne'. I resigned myself to the fact that it ain't ever going to happen so don't worry now and this year was in bed by 10.30pm, woken by poxy fireworks at just before midnight that went on for an hour of more.

Sian Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 I don't celebrate new year, I was in bed by 10.30 pm and woken up at midnight when the neighbours two doors to the left of me and the neighbours two doors to the right of me both set off fireworks on a massive scale for small suburban back gardens for close to an hour. Thought I was in a war zone and I have actually been in a war zone! Don't celebrate birthday either really so you can have my birthday if you like Doc Holliday - 20th April Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatcatsplat Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 I love New Year - Unfortunately this year I had a rotten cold so didn't do much, but in general I love the fact I've given the reaper the slip for another year, plus it's fabulous for the optimism and enthusiasm that it generates and the fact you get to hug loads of drunk people and tell them that this year will be better. It's great to be alive - Celebrate it in any way that you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aled Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 I enjoy New Years Eve, however within the following parameters: Usually have a drink with friends late afternoon, (our children are old enough to come with us now so it is a family affair!) then we all head off home picking up take away's on the way. The home in front of the TV with booze & bwyd (Welsh for food) awake till around 12.15am then bed! The wake up knowing that I have Dry January in front of me!
