And to you mate. Unfortunately driving duties have dashed any ideas of drinking for me tonight, but, all the same I hope you all have a good 'un.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL TINPOTTERS. ;D

And from me to you all as well. Small dude duties prevent going out but have been watching Mamma Mia on dvd (dont worry it was the male version based on the songs of Cradle of Filth), drinking a fine Merlot (£2.49, Morrisons) and eating to excess.

Happy New Year to all Tinpotters.
2009 promises to be difficult for many. Let's hope we can all come through with our clubs -and our jobs- intact.

I had a slightly crap NYE, mostly because (as I don't really get a Christmas) it is, for me, the most significant and important night of the year. And for the first time since 1997, I was not able to go out or follow my own rituals and traditions, which is a bit like one of you lot not having a Christmas tree, turkey dinner, presents, carol service or whatever you do at Christmas. So I wasn't particularly happy. Other half was ill and I'd been staying round his; we'd planned to get him fixed in time to go out to his local for New Year's. I hated the idea of having my Biggest Night Out of the Year in a village pub, but knew he wasn't well enough to travel so didn't mind that much. He didn't feel up to going out at all in the end though, so I got to spend it sitting with his family watching Jools Holland, making polite conversation and eating Chinese takeaway (NOT my favourite). Don't get me wrong, it was a pleasant evening, and any other night of the year it would've been lovely, but... hmm. (Same as my birthday come to think of it, but at least I got to sit with his family making polite conversation and eating Indian food, which I much prefer to Chinese. But I digress.) Sans alcohol, sans frolicking, sans dancing like a mad bastard to music I actually like (although I have to say Kelly Jones is looking rather hot these days, not to mention singing rather well), sans sexual gratification (  I'm not talking about Kelly Jones any more, by the way) and sans my most important tradition of all, the stroke-of-midnight kiss with the person I love, which to me signifies year-long happiness (I got told off for trying to kiss him, because he said it was "not polite." I daren't tell him it's as important to me as his Christmas Stocking is to him). Instead, I got to raise a very small glass of champagne and exchange irritatingly restrained and mechanical-sounding pleasantries with the In-Laws. Oh well. It may do me good to break my traditions once in a while. Himself doesn't believe in autism ;D I have decided that a crap NYE means an EXCELLENT year, so the same to all of you! ;D |

Oh you poor lass. I know you were so looking forward to the New Year festivities, after having such a quite Christmas. (it must have been quiet she spent part of Christmas Eve with Mrs H and I!!
Then they call the game off today,so she missed the chance of me buying her a New Year pint. Dear oh Dear!!

Just caught up with this thread. I spent New Year's Eve at a fancy dress party. Having been at work all day I was rather lazy with my garb, sporting a jazzy jumper and a stripey woolly hat I'd found on a train, but nothing else remotely fancy. Once I got to the party I wished I'd made more of an effort.  I was rubbing shoulders with Santa Claus, two Arab sheikhs, a dalek, a policewoman, a gangster, a flamenco dancer, Abraham Lincoln and...Amy Winehouse. ;D |
