Let's talk about New Year's Eve

What the hell are you doing? I’ve just realised I have no idea. Might stay in and drink some tea.

In a catastrophic piece of scheduling Rangers and Celtic are playing on Hogmanay, wrecking pretty much the entire West of Scotland’s plans.

Literally nobody I’ve spoken to knows how to approach it - a popular approach seems to be to start drinking as early as possible, pass out late in the afternoon, then get back up before the bells to start again. It’s a conundrum though.

Ignoring it and hoping it goes away.

i hate NYE and normally don’t do anything but my boyfriend is going to a party and i feel like i should go for a little while at least. it’s film character themed fancy dress i think. think i’m working that day so might just go in my work clothes and claim i didn’t have time to change

Off to Northern Ireland to hang with one of my ATDs and her bf for New Year’s Eve/Day. Quite excited about it*.

Quite like the sound of a Great Gatsby themed party (sorry).

I’ll probably go out to some night or other. It’ll be shit, but the alternative is staying in with my housemate who hates NYE and will be on the sofa all evening with a face like a slapped arse moaning about the crap on the telly.

I guess it’s one of those things that sounds like it could be good, but in reality would be full of twats (ericthefourth’s other half aside).

going to a beach where there’ll be a big fire, should compensate for not having bonfire night here

This sounds like the best one so far.

Worst part of NYE is the indecision and waiting around. Just going to go to some dance night, get wrecked and ignore anyone’s bullshit.

Solid solution to the problem. The Scottish government should just send us all to different faraway places for a couple of days.

Dunno, but it’s getting complicated.

In the last few years we’ve other gone round to a couple of friends’ house, or they come round to hours. Don’t know if that’s happening this year.

Some old uni friends are going to be in town until the 30th, and I’ve offered them my sofa bed if they want to stick around for NYE too. Except I don’t know if the above is happening.

Also, I drunkenly agreed with another friend that I’d go to either a space themed party down the road, or some cocktail making thing in the town center. I don’t know which, I was battered. I don’t know how compatible any of that is with the above, but I’m thinking not very.

tl;dr fuck knows

Also secret option c: none of the above.
