    No one seems to understand personal space during these 'public gatherings' I don't live in a cave & really do get the social side of the event when out celebrating with your friends/Family, but what gets me is at the stroke of midnight Pissed up unknown arseholes turn in to slobbering/groping sexual predators trying to stick their tongues down the missus throat & copping a quick feel...
    So rather than a night in the A&E for them or the cells for me we keep well out of it.


    Adding to the fact there's no one stupid enough in our circle to baby sit satan's children. ;)

    Well, I know a lot of people who really enjoy it and good luck to them I say.

    I, on the other hand get unaccountably but tangibly depressed after Xmas is finished and have done for quite a while so I really don't look forward to all the back slapping, HNY! Enjoyment.

    The problem is, there are a lot of people around me who, with the best will in the world, believe it's just a question of 'bringing me out of myself' and 'cheering me up'. And will go out of their way to make it so.

    Trouble is, my veneer of social conscience is as thin as Keira Knightly and it doesn't take much for the sandpaper of 'go on. You'll enjoy yourself once you get going' to scratch through it to the raw nerve of punchiness that is my default state.
    This in turn tends to make me even more grumpy.

    So I tend to be a major killjoy on NYE, but, the way I look at it is that I spend the vast majority of the year wiping other people's arses, being left alone one night isn't too much to ask, and it's not like I'm asking anyone to wipe mine...

    Held a dinner party at my place... the other half rustled up a baked camembert stuffed with garlic and bread for scooping the gooey contents out as a starter followed by lamb shanks as a main... we all got a bit drunk (and loud) on the bottles of red that we dragged back from Southern France at Christmas then played Cards Against Humanity... cue inappropriate shouting out of the best ones by the card tsar. Morning spent trying to deal with the aftermath... somehow there is chocolate and ice cream everywhere. Not sure how that happened. Neighbours might need an apology bottle of red though...

    Man after my own heart mate.

    Since getting back from our disastrous Christmas as the Belfry we haven't ventured out once. Instead we have concentrated in making a massive dent into the wine mountain we brought back from France just before the holidays:

    I haven't even bothered to have a look at the damage the deer did to L's SLK on the 23rd yet.

    Thank goodness it's nearly over and we can go back to normality.

    Nearly Sineave.....6 bottles of washing liquid, with the back seats down:
    3000 Gauloises from Belgium.
    7 cases of beer
    41 cases of wine
    5 or 6 small cases of special beers
    Plus crisps, bread, cheese, garlic and other assorted bits and bobs

    and still had enough room for a couple of illegal immigrants if we had wanted too. Fuel consumption on the way home took a bit of nose dive with all that weight though.
