    Well as the title says, now off for food and some serious hammering of a
    bottle of Laphroaig special edition. Oh and we must watch Wallace and
    Gromit that we have recorded.

    Laphroaig and not McCallen, for shame!

    Hope you're having a nice curry with that, preferably a goat curry with
    naan bread, poppadums and saffron rice.

    I'm just a fan of Islay whisky and not Speyside. Wallace and Gromit was
    also good with some real laugh out loud moments. The best Xmas TV bar
    Cunk on Life.

    The same! I've got my reposado; I've got my mini smokey pigs in blankets;
    I'm a happy boy.

    However, this year I definitely thought to myself, "Why is this arbitrary
    date such a big deal?" I think it was while I was watching everyone in
    Times Square lose their minds.

    So next time I will wish everyone a HNY on my own birthday. That's when
    the next year starts for me!

    All kidding aside, may y'all have a healthy and prosperous 2025.

    Yeh, I know the feeling. When I was younger it was inconceivable not to
    go out on New Year's Eve and get absolutely bladdered. Even when pubs
    started charging entrance fees we weren't deterred. Admittedly it did
    help that the pub we used said that they used it just to deter too many
    people being there and regulars would get in for free.

    Now I just can't be arsed to be honest and a lot of places are taking
    the pee with the entrance fee, yes it may be £50 but that's really only
    £50 as you get a 'free' drink included. It also doesn't help that were I
    live is also considered a place to go so not not just those that live
    locally we be out in the city centre. That's the reason that when it's
    nice weather we actually go to a place further along the coast so we
    don't have to put up with every man and his dog who's turned up!
