New Year's Eve

[siousxiesue]

This year, who knows what the rules will be for gathering etc.

I'm suggesting something similar to the NHS clap. We all gather (dressed warm!) and cheer to the new year and to each other?

I'm thinking mulled wine in flasks!

It's easy where I am, because it's a little close with few people. But it would be great if this took off!

Great idea!

I was thinking along those lines for Christmas carols!

Sadly, it sounds like a micro super spreader opportunity to me.

I think it?s well intentioned, but you only need a few ?drunk by midnight? people giving it the ?come on a hug can?t hurt can it?!? and we?re back in danger again.

Maybe if it?s done early enough, where every other person is sober, then great.

2020 is a big year to see out, hopefully it?s done safely.

Happy New Year in anticipation.

Sounds like an awful idea. Dress warmly and cheering the new year with mulled wine in flasks? What will you do after that? Go inside and sing Auld Lang Syne and eat gingerbread? This aint downtown abbey.

Ill be having a large, debauched party at mine with a hired soundsystem and lighting rig that will go on until at least midday the next day. Lets get rotten to see off this year of chaos!

Wow, Steven - what happened to your urbane, suit-wearing, refugee from Surbiton persona? https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,2154894,2154894#msg-2154894

I see you're going for a more down & grimey vibe now, or is that just the rejuvenating effect that moving to ED has had for you?

Debonair folk can have parties too you know. In fact, sometimes they are the best ones, particularly special occasions such as NYE.

I'm quite capable of not hugging my neighbours!

My thoughts exactly, next thing Steve gone roads and trap.
