New Years Eve

[chrisd]

Off to the Club for my last official Captain's duty of introducing my successor at midnight. Then I'm toast.

At 12.01am he'll probably tap me on the shoulder and ask me if I can get my car out of his parking spot!

Always remember what Terry Wogan's Producer, Paul Walters, used to say was the ex-Captains motto.

"Old So & so Captain in 2015 Forgotten but not gone:thup:"

So you'll just be an old git clogging up the fairways again - rough justice!

Went for a walk on Hayling beach today, and a nice lunch in the Inn on the Beach. All that fresh air will probably mean I will be asleep by 10.30.

Nice bottle of the fizzy stuff should see me through to midnight.

Happy New Year to all forumers, and try to be more cheerful next year and have a few laughs.:thup:

Really nice afternoon spent in the local over more than a few jars with my Mrs, our 3 year old, my parents, her parents, brother in-law and his Mrs and their 1 month old plus a nice mixture of all our friends and their families. Just arrived home and sorting an Indian to be delivered and selecting a few drinks for the quick cool shelf before I move onto the spiced rum later doors. Is lovely but struck a chord that at the ripe old age of 36 I'm home and in my shorts at 7pm on NYE.

Thanks Rich

I've not been invited to unveil it - but then I'd probably miss!

Stuck at work on call, now dealing with the people trying to get to Inverness despite the line being shut until 11th January due to flooding.
Boring new year for me, no drink, poxy microwave curry for food and it's started raining again which means I'll no doubt be out all weekend too.

 

[bladeplayer]

[Smiffy]

We stayed up until about 11pm and then hit the sack.
I was woken up by fireworks at midnight, the missus snored and farted her way through them.
Happy New Year everybody.

Big do up the club last night.

Big headache this morning. Can everyone type quietly please.

 

[Imurg]

Good job we didn't stay up late..was defrosting the car at 6.30....

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Saw in the bells with a nice coffee, I must be getting old.

Happy new year, good health and happiness to all in 2016.

A very good do at the club last night, and I feel we out to thank all the people of the West side of London for the free firework display at midnight, it was much appreciated. :thup:

Just surfaced after a tremendous night out with my band entertaining some folks on a sailing ship moored in dock. We're a kind of acoustic, country, bluegrass Metallica and usually get folks dancing around a fair bit. Plenty of drinks, fireworks and a night to remember ��

Japanese take away (how middle class of me.....) with friends and baby's round my new gaff.

Was sat sober as a judge for the bells, despite whacking in the black beer and dark rum.

Wife insisted on having that twerp Jools Holland on for his annual exercise in celeb bum kissing....

I feared the worst and expected ruby bloody turner to get dragged out again so the dwarf could serenade her on his piano.....

Thankfully I turned it over shortly after. Still sober though.

Don't ask me how it happened though but the next thing I realised was it was 5:30 and the whisky (glenmorangie - midwinter dram, lovely stuff) had taken effect.

Well that and the black Prague beer I was supping.

Was awarded the "best dressed man in bed " award when I woke up fully clothed about 4 hours ago....

Full fried breakfast, two brews and 3 episodes of only full and horses later...

I'm feeling good.

Happy new year all.

Went into London to celebrate my daughters birthday, (now the proud owner of a teenager!)
Climbed the O2, had a lovely lunch, went on a cruise up and down the Thames, camped out at 7 pm in a prime spot just outside the ticketing zone.....froze my nuts off waiting for the fireworks...had a great laugh with the people around us..........watched a pissed up foreigner with a bottle in each hand trying to kill himself by walking up and down on a wall 40 foot above the Thames, slipped 3 times, refused to come down despite Police imploring him and a Police boat the other side for if he fell........got the free tube back to Finchley where we'd booked a hotel, decided to drive home as I hadn't been drinking, got locked out by the sister in law who'd put the chain on and couldn't be raised......eventually got in after throwing 20 stones at the bedroom window......finished 2 bottles of fizz and a box of matchmakers while watching Jules Hootenanny on catch up, fell asleep on the sofa............

Best New Years Eve ever!!
