Okay.
Why don't people I KNOW have parties.

A thousand times this
Christmas is for family, new years for friends. It always used to be that someone would have a decent house party for new years, but for the past couple of years everyone has been dead boring and wanted to stay in and watch Jools Holland with their significant other. For fucks sake - you see them every day, and you've got the rest of your life to be old and boring! I'm too bloody young to be middle aged and dull *rages*

I with you all the way berk.
Why the fuck would you want to take your bird/bloke out 'for a nice meal' before going home with a bottle of wine.

I mean, even if you actually like your other half, you can fuck them before you go out. How dare you bollocks up my new years by doing something all lovey.

New Year - a chance for friends to get together, drink too much and cop-off with a mates, mate.

Those are the rules. Not 'oh, we'll just get a chinese this year as the pubs will be busy and expensive'.

You sound somewhat sarcastic
but I stand by what I've said: I totally understand wanting to spend time with your boy/girlfriend. But you can do that any day you like whereas with new years everyone tends to be off work and can get pissed and have a giggle together, which we don't actually do as a group all that often. Possibly because most of my supposed mates are actually terribly boring, and it takes one to know one :(

I wasn't be sarcastic.
It annoys me in exactly the same way as it annoys you.

I was very lucky with my group of friends from Manchester.
We all used to get together at New Year at someone's house. Now I'm lucky to meet up with new friends who also prefer staying in with mates.
