The wankest night of the year anyway. They’d be doing everyone a favour to ban it. I can't be arsed with it. Don't think I've ever really had a decent NYE. I can't be arsed with it either, but it doesn't mean it should be banned.

?? What are you referring to please? Crouchpotato used to post on here under the name Sergeant Mutley years ago, hence some of us who've been on here for years calling him Mutters. Nothing to do with me then, you just linking users

See the NHS doctors have written to Boris saying - 10% fewer beds available - 13k people in hospital with Covid v 500 in September - recommending tier 3 for any areas showing an increase - highlighting huge risk of Xmas relaxation
Then Germany goes into lockdown
Big moment for Boris &Co has he the balls to follow the experts or will they court populist opinion and trigger wave 3 and 2 months lockdown in 2021

You want to ban New Year? I mean in all seriousness there’s definitely no chance people should be allowed to get together this year. The Christmas break is daft enough. But new year is a totally shit night in general yes and if it wasn’t a thing then I think life would be better. Maybe we should celebrate "Bayern Fest" - a dank miserable day in February in which grumpy old men hold court pontificating about how the world is shit and its true because they are never wrong. About anything. Ever. The festivities to start at 7:00pm and end at 7:30pm when everyone meanders off board shitless and a bit queasy from the Horlicks based mocktails.

Interesting article in the Sunday Times about events leading up to the second wave - linkFor fans of Gupta, Heneghan and Tegnell the good news is they did influence government policy. The bad news is it didn't work - and the resulting longer restrictions are going to have a worse effect on the economy than the proposed harder, earlier lockdowns they successfully helped persuade Johnson out of. Also the article claims Cummings became an advocate of short sharp lockdowns and he or someone in his area was probably responsible for the lockdown leak which was done to stop Johnson from flip flopping yet again. Johnson comes over as very weak and indecisive - his wanting people to like him makes him pretty useless as a leader in a time of crisis.

You have the "choice" not to go the pub and stand with a load of wankers though. Out of interest, what makes people going the pub on NYE wankers ? It brings out the worst. Always fights and nob heads. In all my years of going out and even in my younger days I’ve never seen a fight or felt threatened on NYE

The problem with it is its mainly people who don't get out much and because of that they go totally OTT and get absolutely trollied.

I vowed not to go out on NYE again after last year because of the OTT nature of the “festivities”. I’ve also been assaulted twice which has never happened on any other day of the year.

Absolutely, and it's not just that either, you have to decide where you're going because you can't just rock up and go where you want. Then there's the pay on entry and then at the end of the night trying to get a taxi is almost impossible. I often swapped shifts and worked that night to have Xmas off instead.

They are sticking with the domestic freedoms they had planned but have locked down across the country no drinking in public until 10 jan . No schools interesting they acted on that one non essential shops shut

NYE sees a lot more couples and groups of couples than knobheads after a scrap.

I can't be arsed with it. Don't think I've ever really had a decent NYE. I have but it didn’t involve going out or meeting many people 😂 I don’t get why so many people revel in it? You just pay for stuff that’s normally free. Agree with that. I try and get out the country at all costs for NYE.

NHS doctors actually Well it's not simply NHS doctors who are our "advisors". I know a fair few doctors and surgeons at the QE in Birmingham who think lockdown is and was the wrong way forward. I think even the most hardline pro lockdowner would concede the "expert" advice has been not so expert. Questionable at best.

So this poor lady, who lives on her own, suffers a fall and fractures her arm. She is taken to the Royal Stoke and a routine test finds her negative. After two weeks on a non-Covid ward she finds out another patient has tested positive and is moved to another ward but then tests positive herself. Sadly, she subsequently passes away and though the coroner states that she has died from natural causes (she was diabetic and suffered from anaemia) she has Covid on her death certificate. Just how many of the 60 odd thousand Covid deaths have happened due to circumstances like this and just how the hell does a national lockdown and tier systems help the likes of Mrs Brindley, a lady who I bet has barely ventured out of her bungalow in Stoke for the best part of a year and catches a virus in a place that is supposed to help her? www.stokesentinel.co.uk/news/stoke-on-trent-news/grieving-son-raises-concerns-mum-4788563

I went Niğde last night and it was the same as it's always been (i.e. very good).
There was a couple of blokes serving who I'd not seen before but all the old guard were there still (and it's still owned by the same family).
Viva La Niğde!

The steak kebabs they do are absolutely top notch. Well, they all are really! We had one from Moonlight's a couple months back, had about 5 pieces of steak. The one we had from Nigde last month had about 20 odd big fat pieces in it. Absolutely worth the money.
