Thats some night you have planned anto...

Myself I'll be staying in with Miss Dodge. I absolutely hate New year's eve. Such a fake night where people who don't go out all year get pished "because you hvae to, its new years eve..." :rolleyes:

[tetsujin1979]

Probably a house party, bars/clubs/gigs to be avoided, far too crowded

[hamish]

I've three house parties organised with my mates over the Christmas but not sure what the plan is for new years eve. Probably another party in Hamish Mansions.:D

[M@ttitude]

Times Square NY for me, YAY.. (if the subway strike ends soon):mad: :)

[dahamsta]

A mate rented a house in Liscannor. Did it for the Millennium, worked out quite well because we avoided all the kissing and hugging complete strangers crap.

New Years, in general, sucks the sweat off a dead man's balls. It's just another bloody day people, get over it.

Totally agree – its up there with stephens night. Will probably be out every night between now and the new year bar these two nights!! It will jsut be full of d!cks around town. Cans for those 2 nights :) !!

[A face]

Another thing i hate about New Years is paying a cover charge into a bar where i have been going all year .... i think that is a serious kick in the teeth for regulars, basically two fingers up to the punter for one of 'the biggest nights of the year' !!

[finlma]

I usually just spend New Years in a house with a group of friends - its a waste of time going out. Its Galway this year.
Stephens night is the worst night of the year to go out - the pubs are packed and there's just no point. I'm going to stay in this year.

Xmas Eve is the big session at home. I love that day - everyone is in great form and we always hit the same pub in Kilkenny around 6. Usually won't have seen most people since the previous Xmas.

[Lionel Ritchie]

gigging the night before so that'll be my main new year celebration.
As this is our 1st new year with 8 month old lionel jnr we'll be doing something at home -probably have a few friends over.

[Pauro 76]

heading to my girlfriend's friends house party in Kingston, going out on the town New Years Eve is overrated, cover charges for pubs, ridiculous! one pub where im living is charging £30 just to get in! :mad:

[hamish]

I've three house parties organised with my mates over the Christmas but not sure what the plan is for new years eve. Probably another party in Hamish Mansions.

Update/correction - that list has just become five:eek:

HELP!!

Hey, BTW, if any of you Footiepersons are travelling to and from Galway over the Christmas - you pass by (Literally) my front door en route - drop in - take a few minutes of a break off your journey - if you're a passenger - have a wine or a beer - if you're driving - have a cuppa - I might even give you a slice of my birthday cake - youse can't say Ol' Hamish hasn't invited youse.

Let me know if you're dropping in in case I'm having a nap or send me a PM and I'll give youse my phone number if you're gonna call. Another few dozen in Hamish Mansons at this stage will make no difference. LOL

Happy Christmas and New year from Footyland's DOM.:D

[sligoman]

youse can't say Ol' Hamish hasn't invited youse.Even me Hamish?:eek: :D.

[hamish]

Even me Hamish?:eek: :D.

LOL - have to admit though sligoman, Beeslow is well and truly fcuked this Christmas. This time last year, Dubarry Shoes let go most of the workers but still the redundancy money filtered into the local businesses. This year......all factories gone. Only Portiuncula Hospital and a few smaller firms are going and the town is really showing it. We've lost about 1500 jobs in the last 10 years (plus the knock on jobs too) and it has devasted the town. When you consider the core population is 4,000 - that's a big blow.
As a result South Roscommon, East and North Galway, the nearest parts of Offaly (Shannonbridge is only 9 miles) away and other parts in the town hinterland are fcuked too.
This time a couple of years ago, Square D shut down - 350 jobs gone - and moved to Mexico where the workers were paid per month what they were paid per week here. The week Square D shut down was the week it opened up in Mexico. Guess who was visiting Mexico that very time? - yeah, Bertie Aherne.:mad: That went down well here. He didn't visit us though, the prize bolllix.

Athlone, Roscommon town and Galway is also attracting a lot of shoppers too which doesn't help.

Hope it doesn't happen to your places.

No probs Dazzy - anyone's welcome .......just give me a little advance notice.

Yuletide greetings, man. Have a good one.:)

[hamish]

You give me Bubbles and I'll bring an aul relative for you:p.

Well, she's on holliers from her two jobs for the next week but is partying a lot.

You can have her but make sure you buy some body armour first. LOL. She's more brutal than Gavin Dykes - and that's saying something:p :D LOL

[drinkfeckarse]

I much prefer New Years Day, haven't went out for New Years Eve for about 5 years. Got sick of waiting ages for a pint and hugging and kissing strangers/people you don't particularly like.

[sligoman]

*Resists temptation to say something else instead of "be" for fear of been slaughtered by some of ye:o*

[hamish]

Don't worry, I'll be prepared

*Resists temptation to say something else instead of "be" for fear of been slaughtered by some of ye

Ah, we'll slaughter yeh anyway.

What's happening up Sligo way?? Are Rovers doing anything? Y'know a big party?

[Maz]

Well what have you all planned for the New Year celebrations. I have actually decided to stay home tonight :eek: I just cannot be bothered having to go and get shoved around a pub all night. I'll start the New Year as I mean to go on tomorrow night

BTW-Happy New Year Everyone

[Drumcondra Red]

Don't have a clue yet!!! Maybe Stone Roses, mates want to go to wexford but I couldn't be arsed driving down there, maybe a house party, who knows!!!!

[sylvo]

Staying at home, can't be bothered with all the omerdoms that appear in the pub on new years eve.

[James]

[Dublin12]

New years eve is the biggest anti climax ever.I can't wait for next week when everything is back to normal.

[Drumcondra Red]

Jaysus you two, get a room!!!

[Anto McC]

Me and Dublin 12 are only looking for a bit fun,no need to be snotty about it :D

[Babysis]

Im going to my local. with my family. nothing amazing, but Im not a big fan of tonight anyway, so it suits me.

[aido_b]

me and all of me pals have always done a pub crawl every year, theres a street called Manor St down by my house, it has 9 pubs on it so we start at the bottom and work our way up to our local which is at the top! nice way to spend it with pals and have a load of banter along the way! none of this entrance fee lark either!

well folks have a good one and sure if any of ye are stuck for somewhere to go we can all crash at Hamishes!:D
