    Staying sober tonight, making a flask of hot toddy and driving the missus up to Rivington to watch the fireworks over Bolton, Manchester and all points west.

    This year Im taking my night vision gogs, because I had a real 'doh' moment last week. I turned the image intensifier on the sky, and wow. much better than binos or a telescope.
    why didn't I think of it before ??? so f******g obv now.

    If I get any decent shots, i'll stick em up here

        Staying in and having a nice meal.
        Mrs 5* has been poorly so it's a good job we are staying in

        Have a good/safe night to everyone

          Off to the pub shortly for a couple of beers, then back home by 7.30 to help GF Platypus cook a nice meal. Maybe some bubbles later and we'll likely continue watching the box set of Six Feet Under rather than the usual NYE tulipe - I assume Jools Holland is on as usual ?

          Thanks for asking! Hope you all have a good one

            Jools Holland is on tonight.

            They recorded it at the beginning of December as I received the email notification to get tickets.

              Do they still require you to write an essay as to why you qualify to get the tickets?

                I think it was a ballot this year.

                They tend to do that for over subscribed shows.

                  Enjoying NYE with my brother and family.

                  Nibbles and alcohol, with a few silly games between now and midnight

                      Staying for a nice curry with the in laws, a friend popped round earlier and showed Mrs V how to cook a nice Pakastani curry (not me I was too busy chopping bits of tree up).

                      we may well be imbibing later, there is the SPAR best (which is surprisingly good) and I have a bottle of Monkey shoulder to try.

                      have fun, TFA.
