Most of my mates are away from Uni and I'm left here in Newcastle where there is no parties or anything happening at night. It's meant to be raining... I'm mostly thinking about going to bed and watching Jools Holland Hootany.

What is everyone else doing?

Watching Jools at New Year sounds good to me.

Given up on going into town for this - you have to pay to get into a bar, the drinks are twice the price, someone vomits on your back and then tries to beat you up, and then the cab driver robs you with double the normal fare to get you home....

Best stay at home and drink a few there. With mates if possible, but its cool to be solo if not.

oh - and happy 2005 !

Go on tell me you're in halls .

Reminds me of a story, mates are home, I have come back early to do exams. Decide I am bored as a beast. Decided to set the fire alarm off. Cue opportunity to cop some unsuspecting Tunisian bird. Ended up putting her head through the head board!

I was at Newcastle. If you are in a house, you're basically going to have a shit time. Drink yourself silly and have a bonding night with your porn

Off to my local - No charge. Off to my favourite club - No charge. Off to a house party to watch my mates band - Cracking end to the night

Miserable buggers.

Ohhh, nevermind mate!

My worst case scenario is a nice bottle of red wine and playing the piano and getting all reflective.























Before copping some unsuspecting milkmaid over the pub!

I'm also thinking about heading to see the Alendale Tar barrels, as I've never been up (would head up in the Marlin), but not entirely sure I can be bothered to be honest.

Not really, it's because my mates run the club and the landlord loves me. He lets all the regs in free and locks the door on the chavs

We are having a meal with some good friends in the village. We have a posh nosh restaurant about 70 paces from our house and we have said for years we would spend NYE there - it is about £80 per person for a 7 course meal.

Looking forward to it.

I'll be in my village...

2 pubs both with lock-ins
Mum's having a house party so they'll be a constant supply of alcohol and food there and older women trying to chat me up
Lots of mates are staying in the village too so it'll be a good one.

NYE is a rip-off these days. Being a student i'm having a big night out 2 or 3 times a week... i'm not paying a couple of hundred notes just to have another night out... that'll last me a dozen nights out in the new year.

Parenting. We'll be sitting in a sad lonely corner of our living room, gently melting into the carpet..



Actually that's a complete lie, we'll be drinking to excess, shagging each other senseless, and enjoying the neighbours expressions, as we 'First Foot' them, they don't know the correct response.

Probably heading into town for a bit of drink related amnesia!
