New Year celebrations when you were younger.

I used to go into Leicester as a late teenager and into my very early 20’s around a few pubs. We used to head for Krystals and one of us was inevitably turned away for whatever reason. I remember being in what I knew as the Jug and Jive for at least two New Years Eve’s. Others may know it as Il Rondo or I think The Snooty Fox.

I then had a few years down The Fan Club for New Year’s Eve. They were great. I have fond memories of sitting in the queue for a couple of hours drinking cans of beer and chatting with the others in the queue before it opened at 10.

It was always a mission to get a taxi home. We used to often sit and wait at ABC for ages. It was never a problem, all part of the fun.

Great times with little care in the world.

I never quite came to terms with why starting the new year puking your ring up and feeling like shit was a good thing.

Cos it was a million times better than the alternative.

Sitting up with your parents, watching jools fookin Holland, and doing the silly hand dance at midnight.

Just like I do now with my kids.

Too right, the only good thing about NY is that it marks the end of the period of once a year drinkers and allows the rest of us to get back in the pubs so we can puke our rings up & feel like shit all year round. But, not to be surly, we thank you for your efforts in keeping pubs open so we may reap the benefit for the next 11 months.

Honestly, always hated NY... both versions (the going out and the Jools Holland one - and the sooner the BBC axe JH, his band and all the hanger on cunts the better).

When did fireworks become fashionable at NY?

New years eve was always a special time for ugly bastards like me.
It meant that at 12.00 & a few minutes after, you could snog the girls who normally wouldn't look twice at you.

As long as you didn’t wake up next to them.

A knee trembler in a doorway on Clyde St was always favoured in the late 60's

i usually ended up on xmas eve and NYE in a pub that was walking distance from my parents house, that usually meant queni or syston, the rearsby pubs were rubbish. The fox and hounds if i remember rightly used to stay open past midnight both nights.
Bonus if a friends parents had gone away for xmas so you could have massive party and not have to clean up the mess afterwards. i do remember sneaking in at 5am one xmas morning after a late xmas eve party and being woken 2 hours later to open presents.
