I've never been arsed about New Year. If the fiancé can be arsed I might go say hi to the family then the pub folk early, then go home to avoid the bells and the accompanying bollocks.

There are millions of class pubs to drink in around Putney/Fulham/Hammersmith/Parsons Green before the game. It's just they're all about a twenty minute walk away from the ground. Because of the park and residential areas there isn't anything close to Craven Cottage. Still a great day out though.

Swiffer is a line of cleaning products by Procter and Gamble. The brand uses the popular razor-and-blades business model, whereby the consumer purchases the handle assembly at a low price and must continue to purchase replacement refills and pads over the life of the product. The names of the products and the descriptions consist of the following:
Swiffer WetJet is a Powermop in which the user places a bottle of WetJet Solvent into the dispenser and a pad on the bottom of the mop. Then the user uses a switch on the handle to spray solvent on the floor then wipes away the Solvent and dirt by passing pad over the sprayed area. Models made since 2006 have a scrubbing strip on the side or front to scrub dried on messes. When pad is dirty, the user simply throws it into the wastebasket. The solvent bottle is nearly impossible to refill and is recyclable in areas that accept #2 plastic. The scrubing strip gets placed into the washing machine when soiled.
Swiffer Sweeper-VAC is a Power Sweeper in which the user places a filter inside the dust cup and a dry cloth on the bottom. The user then uses a push button on the non-replaceable battery compartment to turn on the vacuum. When the cloth is dirty, the user simply throws it into the wastebasket. When the Dust cup becomes full, the user removes the filter and dumps the contents into the wastebasket. Filters should be changed when the furnace filter is.
Swiffer sweeper is a sweeper/mopper in which the user places either a dry cloth or wet cloth on the bottom and sweeps or mops. Mopping cloths have a scrubbing strip for dried on messes. When the pad is dirty, the user simply throws the cloth into the wastebasket.
Swiffer Sweeper X-Large has a cloth head that is one and a half times larger than the regular Swiffer Sweeper. This handle uses two wet cloths or one X-Large Dry cloth or can easily use 2 dry cloths.
Swiffer Dusters are disposable dusters in which the user slides a duster onto a handle and dusts. When the duster is soiled, the user simply throws the duster into the wastebasket. The system has two variations in dusters and two handle variations. The original dusters (180°) and 360 Dusters (360°) and the original handle primarily for dresser tops and other surfaces and the extender primarily for ceiling fan blades and crown molding. Both handles accept both forms of dusters.
Swifer Dust-N-Shine is a furniture polish in which the user sprays on furniture and wipes away with a dusting cloth.
Swiffer Carpet Flick (2006–2008) was a carpet cleaning product for carpet in which the user slides a sticky pad into the slot and the dirt and crumbs got trapped on the pad. Swiffer discontinued this product around 2008. Some WAL*MAR°T's still sell refill pads.
REFILL SIZES Swiffer Sweeper Dry Cloth refills come in 16 and 32 count in Unscented, Febreze Citrus, and Febreze Lavender, and 48 in unscented only. Wet Cloths are available in Open Window, Febreze Citrus, and Febreze Lavender. Both starter kits have a sweeper handle assembly, the small kit has 2 dry cloths and 1 open window wet cloth and the large kit has 6 dry cloths, 4 open window wet cloths and 1 swiffer duster.

I liked Tiberius. Tintin was very convincing. Taliban was hilarious. Can't remember much of that night to be honest, I drank half a litre of gin and fell down the stairs.

I have several possible scenarios
1. Stay in with my parents. Oh please god no. But I don't want to go clubbing and all the pubs round here are shit so..

2. Go for a massive rave up at the Que Club in Birmingham with vague friends. Rinse at least 100 quid and never remember 100 conversations with random hippies. This is only for if I get get rich and desperate.

3. Go to my usual pub. End up getting in an argument with a Daily Mail reading arsehole around midnight. Screw that.

4. Go to houseparty invited by fucking hot but a bit pretencious 20-year old lesbian (possibly bisexual, she seems a bit confused), drink booze with her young emo friends and hopefully they wont all be twats after a few drinks. This is the best option so far, if I end up being invited. I've sweetened my prospects by saying I'll make Glacier mint-flavoured vodka.

I'm superstitous about NYE. Always try to make it awesome. Even if that means quitting the party I'm at, walking down the street, talking to strangers and crashing their party - as has happened before on some memorable occasions..

jugga is one game trollball is another.
Jugga is 7 a-side with polearms, shields and swords. Trollball has no rules except the boundaries of the game (and in some versions, no magic)Oh yeah, and it's played with a troll's head

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 23 Dec 2010, 23:39, Reply)

depends on the games
Jugga and Trollball are teamgames, so it's by goals scored. Then there are quizzes and archery competitions and some other games too nerdy and in character to mention to someone who is typing all his replies with a slight sneer :)

current squad probably not, but the outrageous income from TV deals etc could turn them into a mid-table side, Europe if lucky!

Yes they're both stupidly big clubs, yes they'd take about 15k to every away game (allocations permitting) but that doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things.
