Alcohol, watch something from my PVR or DVDs, talk a bit of rubbish on Charlton Life, more alcohol, turn on BBC1 at 11:55 to see what they do for the New Year etc
Cook nice dinner, drink wine, check Charlton Life, drink wine, watch a long film, drink wine, watch a taped ‘8 out of ten cats does countdown’, drink wine, fall asleep.
As a semi pro musician (bass player), I'm normally gigging on NYE. This year I'm going to set up outside my house about 11.40 for a 20 minute bass solo to discourage social gatherings.
Have never liked New Year's Eve. Been glad since having kids it's basically been a take away, a couple of beers and watch a film or whatever, and same this year, but I think we're doing a few online games with friends too.
While we're on the subject, NYE is pure shite isn't it?
You either go out the the pub and have to get a ticket in advance and pay to get in the pub that's normally free, it's rammed so half the night is queuing for the bar and getting knocked by strangers trying to squeeze past.
You can't move on if it's rubbish as everywhere else is full too, and everyone wants to call it a night about half 10 but can't as you need to be there for midnight.
It gets to midnight and you go by some random person's watch and all think "oh yeah, oops, it's 2 minutes past!! Happy New Year!" and no one really cares.
Or you go to a house party and stand in a kitchen eating a few slices of cold pizza and duck spring rolls whilst drinking your own beer and making small talk until again, clinging on for about 2 hours until midnight when you're bored.
Cabs and hotels etc are 3 times the price, and you get stupid texts throughout the evening from people "wishing you a happy new year now as it'll be busy later on" as if that's been a thing for about 15 years.
Then the next morning you have everyone making resolutions no one cares about and no one sticks to, plus people on social media having arguments about fireworks and dogs for hours on end.
Going out on literally any other night of the year is much, much better.
A few beers with my good lady surrounded by our dogs, then at 11.55 pack them off downstairs with whatever channels I can find on the radio playing loud stuff, crank the volume up and leave them. Returning upstairs in time for the village idiot to fire of his rocket launcher that he hires every New Year’s Eve, then we go outside and watch the light show put on annually by the ambulance service as the attend all pensioners in our street with chest pains brought on by noise. HNY 😂

The missus is working (administering the vaccine) until 8pm tonight and then she's back at work tomorrow morning, quiet evening all round really - couple of beers and see how long I can stay awake !

And got a new ratchet screwdriver for Christmas that I’m buzzing to try.
