Over-rated rubbish. IMO of course!

Wander onto the first empty hole away from the clubhouse and start playing while forgetting to handover your fees !

You mean you pay to play golf

Re-read your original post and it makes sense now.

Initially, I thought you were talking about playing (free) golf on NYE evening!

There is nothing like the buzz of scaling a fence with bouncers around. The Mrs finally stopped me bunking in. Just the odd round of free golf these days

I've been stung for NY Eve also

Just seems to be people who never get drunk reminding everyone of why they should never get drunk.

NYE much overrated, for the youngsters I think. I always stay in with friends.

WHS.

Apart from having friends to stay in with. I stay in with family.

Newcastle?

I was told about "Black Eye Friday" or something like it that was from round those parts.

Black Eye Friday is the last friday before christmas
Pubs fill up at lunch time and are generally empty by 10pm as everyone has got so drunk they've either gone home or to casulty

In my early contracting years I was still in the habit of getting into places free, despite earning good money. I thought nothing of scaling a 20 foot fence to get into Thorpe park, or whatever the place off the M4 is called, for example. These days I usually pay, or more often, just avoid places that charge entry.

Newcastle?

no, Lancashire. But if that tradition lives on anywhere, it's bound to be Newcastle!

You could celebrate cheaper still if you made your own beer.

I tried that, till I was banned by a UN non-proliferation treaty
