    so its nearly 2008...

    where will you be seeing in the new year? every year i have always celebrated with friends or family, or both, usually just a home or a friends house in Kells... (tiny wee village in the middle of nowhere, just north of Belfast) but this year i decided i wanted to actually go away and do something... so Hogmanay in Edinburgh it is....

    anyone else going anywhere nice?

    I'm likely to be having a quiet night at home as I will no doubt have to drive and go to work on New Years Day

    Out for a drink as per, I just can't be doing with the enforced good time that happens sometimes at New Years.

    YOU HAVE TO HAVE A GOOD TIME, START HAVING A GOOD TIME NOW! ITS NEW YEARS!

    But yeah, I'll get wasted.

    Re: so its nearly 2008...

    Well, I don't need to be told when to have a good time. just like I don't need a valentines day 'sponsored by Clinton cards' to be told when to treat my other half. NYE used to be a big night for me but several years ago I realised it just consisted of queuing to get into pubs, queuing for the bar, not getting sat down anywhere and walking home in the freezing cold from town due to lack of taxis. Therefore this year I might have a house party or go to somebody else's house party, its cheaper that way and I get to spend an evening with friends rather than friends + random shouty charvas. Oh and i can also smoke indoors, fantastic. Staying in, it's the new going out!

    Spending it with my girlfriend, not sure what doing. Speaking of NYE I was in London this weekend and saw that tube/bus/train(?) travel is free between 23:45 - 4:50am or something over NY courtesy of Nat West(?), that's pretty cool if you live down that way!

    I've got a week off at christmas in a retail job. Needless to say I'm working New Year's Day. Shame, but I'm sure I'll get over it.
