I don't get the fuss. I used to try and get enthused with it just for the sake.... Now I can't be arsed. Too many ****s boxing and no chance of getting a taxi. Happy noo year.

Remember the good old days and there was footie the following day,favourite was Charlie scoring at Ibrox in a 2-1 win , worst 2-0 down after 10 mins in a 4-2 defeat to them , a few mars bars were thrown at the directors . The wonders of New Year's Day football . I am not old enough but they used to play on Christmas Day as well .
Agree entirely with reb on that. I spent lady night sat on my own outside drinking gin. Went to bed at 1152. great new years eve. What is alarming is all this talk about new year, screams of obsession...
Just off the phone to the old man,he was out till five in the morning.... Fair ****s to the old ****.
Still made the racing today , at Musselburgh nothing better than an early bet , to get the new year going
New year in these parts of the world was for decades celebrated mostly by Scottish Folk. I think that tradition should be maintained with the house parties and first Footing and other traditions revived and maintained. When I was young in the part Of Ireland I was from it was New Years night we went out. When I went to Scotland At 19 or 20 I saw a big difference in the Scottish Celebrations from the Irish. We should not commercialism destroy our lives.
