What Ewe Watching

[Niigata Jack]

We said the same about the fireworks. A great spectacle but actually being in all those crowds in London on New Year’s Eve feels like it would be a special kind of hell.

My feelings as well.

Watched the Ronan Keating NYE show last night, it was watchable seeing as it was NYE etc, but not my taste, the Shaun Ryder NYE show was the best one I've seen back a few years ago.

The firework display was fantastic again last night, notsure I'd want to sample it actually being there though.

I was actually cringing watching Keating gyrating around the dance floor like a teenager in a boy band. Have some standards mun!

That aside you still watched it then

Most of the audience looked around his age who were also gyrating

Agreed, just finished watching it. Thought it stuck the landing superbly, which is going to annoy all the dickheads out there who are furious they dared to have a gay character in the show.

Those tickets are like gold dust.

I’d rather stick rusty nails in my eyes than be there in those crowds.

Good on tv though.

Do you know how much the tickets are?

They’re about £55 or so and you get a £20 quid discount if you’re a London council tax payer.

Hmm, not cheap. You’d also be a captive audience for food and drink once inside, I guess. That’s going to be a tenner for a small cup of mulled wine territory.

I'd rather be at home NYE these days, not bothered going anywhere for yrs, not even to friends, went out yesterday afternoon for food with brother and his family then came home, was home before 5.

I was on taxi duty last night, 3am pick up from Wind Street. I wasn’t bothered in the slightest as I’m not normally one for NYE, and have already over indulged since the 19th. The dry out starts now (temporary suspension tonight and almost certainly tomorrow).

I'm working tomorrow, wish I had booked it off now though, booked days off mid January though so not to bothered.

Yep. And they sell the 100,000 tickets with ease. It’s mainly tourists / visitors plus groups of teenagers and twenty somethings I think.

The only time I’ve been on the Embankment for a big event is during the Diamond Jubilee when the Queen sailed down the Thames on that barge thing. It was the start of the Olympics summer in London and everyone was partying for weeks and that was good fun but the crowds were unbelievable so they limit it now.

I have a few more days to eke out, but all good things come to an end.
