Brisbane is absolutely dead, everyone I have spoken to is having a quiet night in.

Not even worth going out, so we just made some Beer-garitas!

I’m enjoying a very quiet night at home, as long as the kids don’t wake up.

I think New Years Eve is the biggest waste of time, if you go out you can never get a taxi, all the pubs, clubs and hotels want top dollar. And really everytime I drink I get bored and go home at 11. Its a whole lot of standing around to count backwards from 10.

I'm just saying that because I got called into work of course.

I never do a lot on NYE since I think it's an overrated occasion.

I had three offers. One pi$$up, one normal party and one water fight BBQ. Went for the BBQ since that was my first offer, and the hosts are good friends. Had a good time.

Cheers

Too quiet for my liking. Just went to a mates house and had a few beers. Was in bed by 230am. Really soft. No one was doing anything this year :(

First time I haven't had a massive hangover in years :

I really quite hate NYE.... always so much pressure to have "the best night of the year" and all that... it ends up being crap!

Well I was rostered on until 12, but I just finnished as quick as I could, and left work at 11:20, grabbed a few things from the servo, and was home for the count down.

I then proceeded to have probably a little too much to drink, and went to bed at around 4am.

I currently feel like death.

Damn NYE.

Happy New Year everyone...

I went out at Mooloolaba and got myself seriously drunk, which is what my aim was.

It rained heaps so the street party was cancelled but was still a good night.

I had a ball, the wife & I headed in to Southbank and lobbed in at the Plough Inn. Got a table no probs, great view of the fireworks and got just a little bit messy.

Got home at about 3:30am, up at 6:15am because the outlaws were heading home this morning then off to bed at 9:30am for a little snooze through til 12pm. Oddly enough feel pretty good ;)

Top night!!
