I'm sure a few of you will be jetting off to the sun!

I’ll be jetting off from my sofa to my bed

Risky. Moving off the sofa may be the making of your demise.

Inevitably dull this year, always would have been anyway with the baby, but I would have liked to nip out to the local for one in the early evening given the choice.

I'd like to try to stay awake for the bells, other than that I'll just be having a few beers / wines and cooking a curry. Take stock of an interesting year with the wife and look forward to a good year next year hopefully.

Take away pizza, maybe a family zoom quiz (we've somehow kept the weekly Saturday quiz going since May or something - the olds like it!)

Nothing exciting...

I bumped into the landlord of our local the other day who asked what we were doing for Nye. Well staying in is the default answer unless you choose to ignore the rules.

Possibly see mother in law and have a takeaway, then go home and drink several beers in front of the telly just like the last 10 years or so.

Other than a few awesome housepartys in our 20s NYE was always a massively over hyped let down anyway.

All round to Broccers’ house!

NYE was always as good as your exit plan. Whether it's a house party, a club, a pub or an outdoor event, it all falls apart if you've not planned how you get home/where you sleep.

Some of the best ones I had were when I lived in Windsor, we'd set out at about 11 and walk up the long walk to the big copper horse statue at the top of the hill. It's about 3 miles, pitch black/silent all the way, then at the top you can see for miles around and watch fireworks on the horizon. We did it two year years running and there was about 50 people up there all sharing champagne.

We'll do it again eventually...

I'm just going to be at home as well. Might do some acid to help the time pass

Quiet night in because working in the morning, then have a general clear up of the house.

I think I'm getting old

Zwifting while the missus is interfacing with the field ornaments in the morning. Fire and games with the kids in the afternoon (I won't use the kids or the games for fuel, I promise), followed by a big banquet of various nibbles we have lined up after the Boxing Day That Wasn't. Last night of drinking for a while! Not so much dry Jan, more the annual re-adjustment and postponing the liver transplant type of deal.

At least the same old fireworks won't be happening on the telly box. They really need to move them from the London Eye to somewhere else.

I found with NYE not planning anything always resulted in a better time, I liked to go to a laid back pub or two (not the ticketed kind) and have a few beers, either stay in one until after midnight or go home and have a couple in front of the telly to see in the new year. Maybe go out for dinner before the pub if we could get a table.

All the things I like doing any other night of the year I suppose.

....yeah, I'll have a couple of beers in the evening on a regular occasion, but over last (bank holiday...) weekend, I had a bottle of wine every night.

Can't be doing that any more.

I'll probably have a couple of socially distanced beers with the neighbour, threaten to steal his cat again, then retire early.

Just been speaking to a friend of mine who has so far received invites to 6 different nye house parties, and were as of tomorrow tier 4 status

I think it’s the first time I’ll have missed the fireworks in London in over a decade. And I won’t get to laugh at all the chubby people queuing for a membership at the gym below my flat on the 2nd of Jan
