Pet Shop Boys are to headline Edinburgh's Hogmanay Concert. Utter ****e start to a new year http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-23849903
I more of a traditionalist at Hogmanay. Few pints up the boozer. Doon the road by 10pm for steak pie. Party.
Went to a music festival in Barca earlier in the summer and they were headlining that too. Me and my mates were in another tent listening to a DJ when a wave of Stereotypists all flocked in, the Pet Shop Boys had just finished their set. All of them mincing around, tops off, off their faces on drugs. We quickly made a move away towards the nice lookin Spanish women.
Hogmanay was so much better in the olden days when everyone traipsed round everyone's house and doors were left open. Cocktail sticks with a cube of cheese and a small chunk of pineapple, a glace cherry as well. Twiglets, cheese puffs, cans of tennents with the pictures of the girls on. Then on New Years Day (long before U2 spoiled the memory) your ma made a massive pot of Scotch Broth and a huge pot of stovies. Those were the days my friend, I thought they'd never end
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steak_pie I always thought an ashet pie was a pre-bought one (in an ashet) My missus makes absolutely turbo steak pies
Every **** except vegetarians eats a steak pie on 1st January. If I was veggie, I'd probably have a caramelised red onion and goats cheese quiche. Actually, I might have that anyway
You can eat on the 1st of January?!?!?!?!?!? I've usually got such a gurn on that there's no way i'm eating til at least a day after, I don't go to bed til the evening of the 1st. A steak pie ffs?
Soaks up the swally with its salty stodginess. I'm not one to "gurn" around new year - I have spent a couple of very uncomfortable Christmas Days at my maw's house trying to force myself to eat while my stomach is somersaulting.
