Likewise here, I will most likely spend the evening at the computer with the windows closed so I dont have to hear the rest of the neighbourhood parties erupting in a cheer at midnight.

Or I could do what I did one year and think of something I can be the first to do in the new year. That time round I was the first person in the new year to watch "The Longest Day" a classic war film. Yeah I know that sounds really loser-like but it helped to think that I was unique in my own right and doing something that noone else was doing.

Maybe we could have an online party for those of us not lucky enough to have friends or fiances.

Most likely doing nothing special. I usually go with family and friends to go watch the fireworks over the harbour. It's a comfortable walk to go to the viewing spot and little traffic to deal with. I'm not overly happy with my lack of friends, but I'd much prefer to be doing nothing than to be in a mad panic over New Years.

Cheesy as they are, here are some fireworks photos from last year.

Yup, Sydney. I don't watch them on TV if I can help it. Loathe the commentary and commercialism. There's something special about being able to see them for real. I guess a lot of the magic comes from family tradition really.

I might have a fiance but theres no way in hell youd get me to any new year parties...lol. I'm gonna stuff myself silly then take my hounds on a long country walk then maybe go back home and watch some dire film on TV...or failing that I might crank up my music and have a party with my fiance, dogs and ferrets....lol. Can it still be classed as a party with just two people?...hahaha!

hehe that sounds so typically english that made me grin! do you wear a tweed coat when taking your hounds for a walk? are there any moors you can walk them to? hehehe

no offence intended, I think walking hounds through the countryside is an absolutely smashing idea darling.

lmao...righty thats it, for xmas I want a tweed coat and some wellie boots...lol. Nah, if you saw me on one of my walks youd probably laugh. Some of the scarecrows look better dressed than i do. I have my scruffiest clothes on and can usually be found in the woods. Luckily not many people go there so I dont scare too many people.
Get ya wellies on, ya coming with me..lol.

I wish I could think of something cool but I will just get plastered, watch Jules Holland's Hootenanny (can't remember how to spell it :oops: ) if it's on and rue the fact another year has passed.

Those fireworks look cool. Isn't there some kind of cyber-party online we could go to? ...... actually I probably wouldn't go to that either :lol:

Oh well.

with pleasure, for the record I have already got a tweed coat and English style cap and here in NZ we call wellies "gumboots"

heres a question to you all, who here will be spending the night alone? and what part will alcohol play in your "celebrations"?

I am by no means an alcoholic but if I do end up alone I have a feeling Mr Rum and Mr Cola might mix their party magic at my place.
