Yeah, till about 1, then i’ll celibrate with the WAliens.
HNY Aquila

yes, yes, no.

I’ve got stuff planned for the day tomorrow.

All signs point to yes.

lame duck number 4 here.

phew…I’m glad I’m not the only one

)

Although i do have a family size packet of party mix…

and i have bbq twisties.

i don’t really. i did a steak instead. and i’ve eaten that.

I’m staying in but I am drinking alcohol, in moderation.

>>> and i have bbq twisties.

You freak!

I’ll be driving at 11pm and 12:30 am so alcohol will have to wait for after that

HNY.

I am ready with the bubbly, sweet, chilled and non-alcoholic!

>>>> I’m staying in but I am drinking alcohol, in moderation.

Sir Bubbles….often a rather sensible chap, what.

Is moderation really a contraction of the two words modern action?

:-))

no mind altering substances in this house.

there is still time!

Not that I think you should do that of course.

Boris said:

Try smoking your twisties.

might go and sit on the verandah and watch 2012 disappear into the sunset.

mmm… this non-alcholic champers is far nicer than the one I bought the other day!

I don’t need to disguise the flavour with slices of fruit and fruit juice in the glass.

Boris said:

You could try snorting the twisties.

Life’s pretty straight without Twisties!!

I have a picnic blanket and picnic basket packed, chips, dip, chocolates, flowers and fruit juice. And have teed it up with the nurses to break Mrs SS out for half an hour at midnight for a picnic on the footpath outside the hospital.

from my calculations, we should be able to see 2, maybe 3 sets of midnight fireworks.

I hope you’ve got at least one glass of alcoholic drink for midnight, monkey.

I’m going to be one of the desiginated drinkers tonight and I have no intention of being responsible.

Hope you all have a good one.
Cheers

Luckily the forum won’t need to drive home, ‘cos it’s a holiday forum.

I’ve been drinking lemon/lime spiders.

i’ve switched the tv off

its a pile of crap tonight – part of the affirmative action against christmas

I have no control over the TV and mostly avoid it all year.

Hmm, forgot all about the Tattoo – I usually watch it.

Some knob over the road has his music cranked up in his car
….“gangster rap”

…gawd, the pain, the pain

rocky horror and can’t stop the music recording here for mrs SS… i’m flicking between CMC and Dynamo

>Hmm, forgot all about the Tattoo – I usually watch it.

It’s repeated tomorrow, 10:20AM. I’ll tape it then and watch it tomorrow night.

It’s ok Wookie, they’ve moved on….

I just walked around the village.. If a doormouse squeaked it would sound like a roar.. dead silence.

*squeak!

pretty quiet around here too

Aquila said:

Probably all having a nanna nap before the fireworks start?

I’m listening to Malcolm Arnold’s symphony no.1 while looking at pitchers of steam locomotives. And sipping bubbly.

Monkey I drink a non alcoholic sparkling red grape juice,
“ Grapetiser” brand excellent drop that.

Last night of the Proms is on now ABC TV Now singing “You’ll never walk alone”

Can’t beat a fine champagne breakfast when you fancy getting shickered first thing in the morning.

Now doin’ Wool Bwittania.

Here it is now “Land of Hope and Glory”

Here we go, finally: Land ob Hope & Glory, Mammy ob de Free

I wish I had a gun. I’d shoot holes in photophuckit’s beta phuck up.

I’m still resolutely using the old version.

Bubblecar said:

Now Jeruselam.

Bubblecar said:

I do too but I have three free accounts which are set up with an admin pass and a viewing pass. I just tried to go to one of the other accounts with the viewing pass.. and the beta phuckup did nothing but run me in circles for an hour and now I’m locked out from all of them. It is probably due to a lot of traffic but I wish they’d respect long term users.

No, but they usually have the most impressive NY fireworks.

It is – thanks for the link

hang on people

this is bullshit nsw time we are celebrating here not the REAL time as in places like QLD

I’ll tell you what, that was a pretty damn good fireworks display.

Sure as eggs a neighbour let off around 100 salvos of quick firing sky bangs

Poo, I can smell the smoke very strongly now. But it’s not the smoke of the fireworks, it’s the smoke of the Epping Forest bushfire.

Someone let off a flare here, bad luck if your out on a sinking boat and had to launch a flare at midnight.

Would not have picked you as a Chocky Cake fan, PWM… My fault, I’m sure.

I think the melody riff at the end is the very same motif that is carried right through the ‘Circus’ album from his previous band, Not Drowning Waiving.
