Turkishcap Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Used to love first footing when really young with my parents and staying up late, loved the Tron when older for snogs then went up town before ticketing started and found it awful, never again. Standing with strangers not my idea of a good time, at one point both my feet off the ground and I was still moving forward. So after that how do most Kickbackers celebrate? My preferred New Years eve of late was an Indian takeaway and Jools Holland, old fartish I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Gordons Gloves Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Meet up with 4 other families and their kids around 6, drink beer outside by the fire while the kids tear their house apart, home by 9. Bed by 10. Used to really love a huge night out on Hogmanay but that has only happened once in the last decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugger that, my mate had an apt on Times Sq that we partied in one New Year (2006/7) and we would pop out onto the balcony occasionally to see the thousands all penned in with no drink for hours waiting for the ball drop. Within 30 mins of it dropping the place had emptied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Within 30 mins of it dropping the place had emptied. I have a mate that got there at 3pm, it was already rammed, didn't want to lose his half decent spot so wouldn't go to the toilet, and you can't drink in the perimeter. He said it was a great experience. It took every ounce of control I had not to deck him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwindonJambo Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I have never managed to wrap my head around the idea of leaping up and down hugging people to celebrate a completely arbitrary point in time marked by the clock striking midnight, an entirely expected event which has been known about since clocks were invented. Sorry to be a miserable old git, but I just don't get it. I'll Enthusuastically celebrate a goal by our team against any of our rivals or if a band I've gone to see play a not often played song that I like. In short there Is zero element of surprise which with the latter 2 events there is. At New Year, I usually do bugger all but this year I'm going to Kent to visit my recently divorced mate who shares a rented flat with his 17yo trainwreck tearaway daughter who has a motley crew of wastrel friends. I'm there to shore up the numbers to stop them taking the place over, getting pissed, smoking weed, and Ummm other things.
