Buddy, that doesn't sound all that bad
Fuck the so called mates, let them do their own thing. Hogmany is just like ANY other night, why folk put so much emphasis on it is beyond me. The stupid cunts who are determined to cram themselves into shitey boozers and pay over the odds for everything, then pretend to themselves that 'New Year is brilliant innit', can go right ahead and do just that.

I fucking HATE New Year and all the accompanying twaddle. IT'S ONLY A FUCKING DATE, IT HAS NO SIGNIFICANCE WHATSOVER, GROW UP AND STOP BEING A CUNT. I love to party as much as the next person, but all this synchronised jolliment really pisses on my chips.

Last year a few friends and their and their kids came round, we indulged in steak pie and roast spuds, and when The 'fucking' Bells came round, i managed to get by without having to say Happy New Year to any of them. It makes my skin crawl, my soul cringe and my knob shrivel.

Why anyone would want to venture out in to the freezing cold to stand in the street and listen to a host of barely remembered 80's pop 'legends' is frankly insane. If I want to party with the people I care about, i can do so in fucking July or any month for that matter, at any time, for any reason.

Understand what you are saying but..
The fact I've been blown-out in favour of them all doing the staying-at-home-with-the-bird option just brings home the fact that I'm very much on my own at the moment and that on the night of resolutions, hope and best-wishes, I'll be on my own.

My revised plan is to drink enough that I pass out at about half-ten and I'll see the New Year in fast asleep in a alcohol induced coma.

Why are you on your own just cos you haven't got a bird/fella?
The world's your oyster, kid.
That's how I see it. Swings and roundabouts.

WIN!
I won't even have to head into town to do that, I can find a victim locally if needs be.

Once again you speak for me, too, old son,
I couldn't give a flying toss about NYE. I'm going to babysit my daughter and read my book on Genghis Khan, with the occasional reefer of fine Afghani hashish out the window.

I've read them too - excellent stuff, aren't they?
This is an academic work. 'Genghis K: Life, Death & Insurrection' by John Man.

So far so brilliant. Have you seen Mongol? An ace, ace film - but a sequel is urgently needed. It only covers the v early period, none of the conquest stuff.

Havent seen it yet, but I will
I read Conns books on Julias Ceasar as well, it rekindled my fascination with the Romans (I even watch the occasional Time Team if they are digging up a villa or wotnot).

Mate I LOVE all that stuff (I read the Caesar one too)
Despite the fact that all I do on here is say things are shit all day, I'm actually a history nut. My degree is in Classical Civilisation and I am constantly reading history books - fictional or otherwise. I DO LIKE SOME THINGS.

I thoroughly recommend the Shardlake books by CJ Sansom, set in the Tudor period. They are thoroughly excellent: the chap is a mightily talented writer.
