    Party in my pub, limited numbers and all regulars. Did it last year for the first time and it was brilliant.

    How does this work? Is it a private closed/ticketed party or do you have a TEN?
    We have a ballot, we limit to 60 people. Have a buffet and a Disco, clear lots of furniture and turn the Dorchester Room into a dancefloor. Shutters down.
    Love it Mike, great idea. What time do you throw people out?
    As soon as they suggest a non celebrity for the Celebrities Still Alive thread.

    Is it one of those ballots where everyone goes in but if some of the less likeable locals get drawn, they go back in again?

    Fortunately we don't have any of those.
    It's all done fair and square, there were only a few who didn't get drawn but then we had withdrawals and were able to offer those on etc. It's still a new thing and we didn't publicize it externally or on social media etc

    Cinema tonight to see The Favourite.
    Might pop into the Fox on the way home but more likely straight home a bit of telly and to bed after the New Year comes in.
    NYE not really a big thing to me.

    Which fox, the lewisham one? I used to work there in the mid to late 2000’s (when it was good).

    I’m not sure if I’ll wander up to Hilly Fields or watch the fireworks on the telly instead, either way it’ll be a quiet one for me as I’m not really into all the NYE hoo-ha.
    Plumstead, Fox and Hounds.

    Going 100 Wardour Street for a meal and then they’ve got live Cuban music. Not gonna lie I wish I was staying in.

    In a sound proofed room listening to whale and dolphin music, sitting in the lotus position whilst wearing my Clive Mendonca T-Shirt and contemplating how measurement is the mystery in quantum physics and the particle and wave debate is as esoteric now as 100 years ago despite the Higgs boson experiments at CERN near Geneva.

    Nothing. Gone down with the lurgi. Was going to be a night in anyway, comforting the dog, who gets alarmed by fireworks, but now I can't drink. Honestly cannot remember when I last had a dry NYE. Could very easily be 40 years.

    Massively pissed off, and for some reason I blame Roland, rather than Brexit.

    It's a people's vote, you mean?

    What are the chances of getting an Uber after 12 tonight. Know it will probably cost a few quid but do you Reckon their will be much availability?

    Sat at the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, watching the stars with the missus, hopefully the Yanks staying here will have all gone into town leaving us on our Joneses for a change...

    First time we will have done anything on NYE since 2002. Normally get woken up by the fireworks but this year have friends coming over, so drinks starting soon.

    Not fussed, maybe go up my legion club, amateurs night when all the dickheads come out and insist they get a table when they’ve not been in since last year, may even stay in, get a ruby and watch the fireworks in HD, have to admit I like the smug feeling of being hangover free on New Years Day

    Dinner party for 10 chez Davo. Have been helping prepare everything pretty much non-stop since 8.30 this morning but it’ll be worth it.

    Have a good one, whatever you’re doing, and wishing all of you a very happy and healthy 2019.

    Round the sister in laws about 100 yards away, few family, booze, games, hot tub then fireworks.

    Not a NYE fan, as said above, amateur drinkers night, certainly wouldn’t be going ‘out’ anywhere.

    happy new year all
