What are your New Years Eve plans?

[Caesar]

No firm plans yet, but I'm betting on a bottle of Veuve and bed by 11.

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Seen way too many CDEs (calendar driven events) to give a toss about any of them except the boxing day test.

Will do nothing, and then scream at the clouds (assuming there are any) if I hear any fireworks - or at the neighbours if they have anything happening.
Being a cantankerous old bastard is fun, if only because it allows regular use of the excellent word "cantankerous".

 

[Shell]

Ive done the city twice. And thats two times too many who the* knows why we went in the first place

 

[BotsMaster]

Watching pr0n most likely.

 

[swoopingseason]

Heading down to morno peninsula


On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Drinking on my own.

Same again

 

[The_Todd07]

I'm on call for work so must likely fielding a few calls from people who have lost their car keys. They will most likely be in Lorne and tell me they have to drive home to Melbourne Tuesday. Unfortunately for them I can't do squat for them until the shop is open again on Wednesday.
Might also get some calls from drunk people who have locked themselves out of the house and they may not be thrilled at what I will charge to go open the door

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Just heading round to a mates place. He’s got young kids that he’ll put to bed, then we’ll just do pizza and beer and watch whatever sport is on, I assume there’s a big bash game or something.

We’ll say happy new year if either or both of us haven’t fallen asleep in our chairs by midnight.

Peak excitement age for New Years seemed to be between about 16 and 25, so I guess there’ll be parties again in a few years when everyone’s kids grow up a bit. And then we’ll just be the creepy uncles.

 

[Cruyff14]

Going to a friend's place down in Torquay for a BBQ. They've got a pool too which will be nice.

What would you charge?

 

[Beerfish]

Having dinner with Mrs Beerfish in the city. Early reservation. Will be on the train home while the dickheads are still warming up. Then probably a movie or something. No doubt fast asleep just after midnight with any luck.

Same again BUT this time in Freo with NO reservation.

If you're not living on the edge, you're just taking up space.

 

[Reynolds Number]

Taipei.

All hostels and affordable hotels completely booked NYE.

All trains heading into and out of Taipei on 31st and 1st completely booked out.

Have seen footage of the insane crowds competing for a view of fireworks on a tower.

No thanks.

Crowds Oriental Style can * right off.

I'll stay in the town I'm living in, where I can celebrate whilst sitting down with a beer in one hand ciggie in another.

 

[Caesar]

Same again

As long as you've taken a break in between

 

[Coolangatta]

Nothing, and certainly not in the mood for celebrating anything (see rate your year thread post about abruptly losing my dog).

Was lucky enough to have the quietest possible Christmas and Boxing Day this year, and will be the same for tomorrow.

A movie marathon of Avengers IW, The Last Jedi, Rogue One, and Baby Driver it is.

Barely watch one movie a month, so it's time for a bit of cramming.

 

[Gralin]

Spending it with too many people because one of my in-laws decided to invite 2 other families
Going to be way too many people in the house and we have to go

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Absolutely nothing with no one like usual. All my friends have kids so they're all at home.

Get shabby and say things you'll regret.

 

[The_Todd07]

What would you charge?

Depends on the time really
Before midnight $180-250 of which I see $80-110.
After midnight, it becomes a public holiday and I'll likely have to get out of bed, so I'd probably say $400-500. If they say yes, good pay day. If they don't, I turn over and go back to sleep.
Those prices are for local jobs, travel times will also come into consideration if more than 30 minutes away

Gee that's steep. Might be cheaper to break a window

You get a fair few people who respond with that exact thing. If they want to jump through a broken window, potentially slicing themselves open, they can go right ahead.
Not to mention the house is no longer secure until it is fixed and you could be waiting a few days to save money on what i would have charged.

 

[Silent Alarm]

Trying to avoid the city. Having a Barbie at a mates house with a few drinks and then they aren't massive party animals I might go to a other mates house which is only a 5 min uber away

That uber'll be $67.90 thanks.

 

[Scotland]

Going to a BBQ. If it's still going at midnight great, if it peters out earlier great.

 

[JackOutback]

Waited until today to invite two families over. Beer, swim, take bets on who makes it to midnight.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Alcohol and cannabis at home and maybe walk to the park at 11.30pm. Got a feeling I won't live this close to the CBD in 12 months so may as well get a look at the fireworks.
