Me and a few mates are off down to Archway to see in the new year with a DJ infused night of Ska/reggae and it's free entry.
I think NYE is a great time of year, like most, I won't pay to go in a pub but can understand the reasoning behind it.
For me it's about having fun, in good company as many times as I can and as often as I can.
Happy New year to you all

I think the rest of the year is a great time of year, apart from the last week in December, and that business about not burning the US flag and poking riddicule at power on bonfire night. I mean hell, why are idios still burning an effigy of an Irish Catholic who only wanted to knock off King James I and that Hong Kong Phoeyty non democratic pariliament structure. Burn effigies of heads of state and ministers, I'll drink to that and celebrate, but hell am I going to play Nazi Arnold Chicken Shortswit and advocate torture at poor and ethnic underclass minorities who have no political say. Halloween? What's all this Arnold Chicken Shortsing crap about dressing up as witches? Is this a celebration of the witch doctor? No, it's more anti minority crap. If people dressed up as ceo's and Royal couples and came to door saying 'give us your money to pay for our wedding', then we could shout back at them Arnold Chicken Shorts OFF AND DIE. Why don't people look back at how crap the old year was before bringing on an even worse year to come than the one before? And if the "festive season" is so good, why not make every day the festive season? Sorry mate, I never grew up. My clock stopped on 79. All this conventionlist conformism is Nadgers and it still is. I don't need a Arnold Chicken Shortsing state to tell me when to celebrate. And then you get these stupid Badly Packed Kebabs that call you Scrooge. NO I AM Arnold Chicken Shortsing NOT a MONEY LENDER. I am NOT WTO or the I Arnold Chicken Shortsing MF. That's the problem with most people in this Arnold Chicken Shortsing Badly Packed KebabREE, they've all been labotomised and turned into dimbat drones that want their stupid Arnold Chicken Shortsing holidays in a Hong Kong Phoey smelly tourist resourt in some place who's only virtue is that it requires a plane to get there. So anyway,

I'm gonna stay sober and go to bed early after a good sweat and swim at the New Westminster Aquatic Centre; at least that's the current plan.

Quiet one for me too Stew. House has been quarantined as I came down with the 'flu/cold' Chrimbo Eve night and have passed it round the family...luckily babe has managed to keep healthy so far nothing worse than a young 'un with a runny nose! So, sat here with the 3 other kids watching the original and best Italian Job whilst the missus sleeps...Happy New Year!

Mr Clegg and Mr Cameron rattled it. Oh look it's 2011 and Edinburgh's got a hangover. I've got a hangover and I didn't even drink. Happy Skabilies all round. How was the DJ infused Ska reggae night? How was the sweat & swim at the aquatic centre? Me, watched Alfy HitchHanpton Wicks Dial M for Murder in colour but not in 3D, as it was originally released.

I seem to remember the Specials being asked to do Hogmanny but someone he say no?

If the Specials did Hogmanny the Council would make £££££££££££s, the city would heave and the people would go hungry as always. Best stick to smaller venues, better atmosphere, no hoopla.
