What are your plans for New Years eve...?I am just going to have a few mates around and have a few beers (its very hard to get babysitters) nothing special.Anyway this got me thinking how crap New Years Eve is here well in Dublin anyway. Nothing is planed by the council or no big shows,I have spent 3/4 New Years Eve in Liverpool and it just has a much better feel.I also spent one in New York and that was amazing. For a country that prides itself on been a party destination we are very slack when it come to this night.
Very true. Every so often you get a fireworks display at midnight but that ain't exactly going to bring in a load of tourists from across Europe is it. Would be no harm to close off a street (O'Connell St for example) and put on a decent show, in the same way they do in Edinburgh. Can't see it happening anytime soon though, council budgets probably wouldn't stretch that far is probably the response you'd get back. I reckon for New Years Eve this year we should have an IK.com bash at the residence of Messrs Dub13
aghhh we are still waiting for the summer bbq.. we even offered to bring our own tinnies, few dutch gold, still waiting, we could all gate crash
Not doing to much here. Try to get the wee ones in bed early and watch a movie with herself (movie of her choice of course ) and down a few bevvies.
Hate new years eve, prices go up everywhere, cant move an inch and cant get a taxi home.... Rant over
probably go out in dundalk.....the glamour of it all gets to me sometimes! Spent last year in siem riep in cambodia, the town put on a huge street party. was by far the best new year i ever had
We don't have New Year celebrations. Our firework display is on Paddy's weekend in March, weather permitting. (last one in 2005, btw) As always, I will watch the celebrations on tv from other cities. Starting with Moscow, and ending with New York. London has the most spectacular display, but Berlin probably has the biggest party. As for crappy Edinburgh, why put on such a show in one of the wettest, most windswept locations in Europe? There was none last year, and 2004, because of weather problems, and there are more expected this time. They should have a Plan B, for such an eventuality.
Haaate NYE. Last year there was a Leinster game to go to, this year nowt. Prob stay in and have a few drinks - weather is to be pants and you can forget about taxis
I think I'm going to a nightclub in Drogheda called Fusion, should be alright... the place has been done up recently and I heard it's deadly!
Cant go to your party D13, Dying, no voice, antibiotics, no drink, fecking great start to new year, some would say a blessing me with no voice, So I'll Put it this way, it has to get better, so wishing all my friends in irishkop, Tram you'll never walk alone irishreds, and All of you a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR.. and where ever you are tonight have fun and enjoy.
I have the flu or virus or whatever is going around at the moment. I always get something around this time. The best I can do is sit back watching the box with laptop in hand...
