There seems to be quite a few Happy New Year threads but I would just like to add my very best wishes to you all for a very Happy New Year too.

Thanks to everyone for their support of the forum and I wish you all the best for 2013.

The rigmarole of dressing up to go out in weather that laughs at anything not the colour of sludge. Why bother? The cold, cheerless journey that deep down you already know is not worth the hassle. Whose idea of a good time is this? Ticket prices so inflated they would make a Weimar German balk. Door queues long enough to feature as a traffic incident. The enforced jollity of a battery farm of party-goers, few of whom know each other, let alone like each other. The Olympic sprint to get as drunk as possible (despite the extortion for watered drinks at the bar, whilst are spilt as you're jostled all the way back to your table, only to find that someone pinched your seat and threw up in your jacket pocket.) Then The Big Moment. And of course, the bit when everyone cheers the bongs of midnight, as if they carried any more real-life significance than any other midnight. It's only Tuesday for god's sake - it doesn't mean anything. Why do we do this? The alcohol-marinaded man who flails around for a hug before confidently laying down his nuanced judgment: "Next year cannot be any worse". (His ancestors surely predicted the same in 1065, or 1938 - think on't.) The two hours wait for an Astra masquerading as a minicab. Giving up and accepting volatile (but inevitably seatless) transit on the prison-on-wheels they laughingly call the New Year's Eve nightbus. The silent totting up of how much this expedition has cost. And to what end? Running the gauntlet of still-stewed revellers on the road outside your house. The grey daylight peeping in through the curtains. The certain knowledge that a quiet night in with the radio would have been better spent. The solemn resolution that next year you will do just that.

OTOH I just got an emergency childcare booking for tomorrow, so maybe 2013 isn't off to too bad a start. :D
