El Gato Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 Is it me or is Hogmanay the most overrated, hyped up night of the year? I can't think of another night which is given so much attention for no good reason.The best nights out are almost always the ones which happen spontaneously or when you least expect it. I think that's half the problem with Hogmanay. It gets built up so much that nobody wants to admit that maybe, just maybe, they aren't actually having that great a night after all. Days of preparation all to culminate in a lousy countdown to midnight followed by a shambolic rendition of Auld Lang Syne and of course everyone knows all the words to that past the first verse.... ahem.The finest example of the Hogmanay fizzle was in 1999 when it was joined by an even greater hype - the millennium. Yes, this time the world was going to end as planes would fall out of the sky and computers would spontaneously and inadvertantly start WWIII. Except none of this happened. Still, nice countdown though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psydoll Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 Nah I think it's overrated as well. By a long shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALBBOLLOX Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 Aye well, yes I am actually postin a reply. I think New Year (Hogmany ye bass!!) should be celebrated. If only for the sole reason that you have been able to see another year in. What other joy can you have apart from being alive?On a more serious note blah blah blah, its a good time for the brewerys as well, so I guess everyone gets their cut. *ahem* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neil ex Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 I'll be working Hogmany again this year. Work finishes at 11 so i'll go out after, but i'd work right into the morning for double pay if I could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull Commander Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 Hogmany is like sat nite, but with all the troubles multiplied - more chavs, more waiting at the bar, more eager bouncers and less taxis. Bag o' shite! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HARRY Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 Having your birthday on hogmany has its advantages:)Of course it's overhyped, but it's a good excuse for getting hammered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psydoll Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 I think it's too hard to enjoy yourself at New Year with the idiot factor of everyone in town seemingly turned up to 10 I'd agree with the house party thing probably Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HummerOfIntenseEvil Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 (Hogmany ye bass!!)No he was right, it's Hogmanay.The last time I had a good Hogmanay was when I just stayed in playing Tomb Raider and pretty much ignored the whole thing. Unfortunately I haven't been able to do that sort of thing for several years now (I coudl but I don't want my mates thinking I'm a cock). I would much rather just sit in and play guitar or watch a DVD or something, but no, I'll be dragged off to Edinburgh (because it's SOOOOOO much better there ) to just get pished as usual. And the chances of getting them to go to Opium are slim.Saying that, the best parts of any Hogmanay have been the house parties. Otherwise it might as well just be another night out on the pish.

Jeid Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 have to admit that last new year was the worst new year ever... and they just seem to get worse every year! so i ain't holding much hopes for this onethe only other hyped up bollocks day of the year is fuckin xmas day. honestly, its the most boring day of the fuckin calendar year. get up way too early, open gifts which you know you'll probably never use(appart from the 7 pairs of socks santa left you... again), have dinner, have to speak to people/family which you try to avoid for the entire year, drink with your close family..... then, you go out and people ask you what you got for xmas!!!! RAR!!! i fuckin hate it!!! i used to like xmas but fuck it. this year i was planning on having a steak, watching DVD's, wanking, drinking and getting high.... but mum and dad insist that i go to their house for dinnerfuck shit bastardthat is all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jake Wifebeater Posted December 25, 2004 Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 Hogmanay's well over-rated. El Gato is right, the best nights out are the ones that just happen, and just happen to involve plenty of delicious cider. House party? That sounds unbearable, the thought of having a load of folk in my flat turns my stomach. Making mess, pawing my noise collection, aarrgghh! Leave me alone, if I want to see people it'll be in the public domain, my flat is my little rathole I can slither into and hide from mankind. Drawbridge up, portcullis down.
