Ha, Christmas day right now in this country. Most of you have to wait for another several hours. Ahh I feel no different.

Anyway, what you all up to this New Year's Eve?

I'm having a few friends round. I have no neighbours for about 500 yards so we can play music as loud as we want. Getting drunk as possible, of course. Play pool all night, might go for a walk into the town round about when the sun comes up. Lovely time of day is sunrise.

Ha, Kitch I have exact same plan, but I live in a small town, and my neighbours down the hall. We won't care tho, it's New Years. Everything but the pool part, I can't get my younger friends into pubs. But that won't stop us from having a good one, Merry Christmas Kitcher.

That's actually funny. I like pool, but suck at it. Because of it I never really play. So, last year what happened? New Years Eve 3 car loads of my friends and I wind up in a pool hall!

This year we are thinking about going to a resturaunt called The Stone Fordge. Other then that we don't have plans yet. We haven't made resurvations come to think of that. I think I should get on that...

You all sound like your bound to ahve fun on NYE.

I work at KFC and the bastard boss has put me on until close. Thats 1800 until 2330 hrs !!!

I hope you all have fun then. Bloody colonel.

Were are you from that uses militery time and also has an American based fast food place? Or do you just use militery time for the heck of it?

24hour time is easy to understand, we use it Down Under in most jobs, easier to decipher between am and pm.

As for NYE - I'm having a party on the balcony at my apartment (you can see the city/harbour fireworks from out there) and then proceeding to get extremely drunk - I'll more than likely end up asleep on the beach across the road... lol

An apartment that can see the harbour.
A beach across the road.
You must be making some serious $$$ to have an apartment like that in Sydney.

24hr time isn't strictly for military uses. Funny you mention it in that context though, my 5 years in cadets is where I learnt it.

And KFC is fairly global aswell. We have Mc Donald's, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut. [All are owned by the same company funny enough] There's also Subway and Wendy's here, with the Subway 1 foot Meat-ball sub taking the cake as the best meal on schoolies.

Have a good NYE! and an even better NY.

I always call it militery time because that's what I've always known it as. But I know it isn't strictly militery.

I knew McDonald's was global, btu I thought KFC was only American. Well, I don't care for their food much. I'm not a fan of chicken. It was all we ate for almost an entire summer (good sale so my mom WAY over stocked the fridge and freezer lol), so I am now rather sick of it.

Well, you still haven't answered the question lol. Maybe you forgot, I dunno, but where are you from again?

Yeah Random where are you from? cuz from the mention of "Schoolies" and your knowledge of Sydney you're more than likely from Down Under - but Where do we have a "Wendy's" here? cuz I love their burgers but dont know of anywhere here in Sydney that has one!!
(If you do - please tell me!!)

I live at Bondi Beach - my Balcony faces city way so you can see the fireworks from there!!

I live Malabar in Sydney.

When I think Wendy's, I think the ice-cream place. Maybe theres a differance. Probably is.

Bondi beach goes off for NYE anyways, why sit in your apartment. Start off at the beach and work your way back there *wink, wink, nudge, nudge, eh govna'"

I think there is a a difference. I thought that Wendy's was only in North America. I know they used to have a few in England but they are all closed down. Funny that Wendy's was mentioned, because that's what I had for dinner. lol!

We have Wendys here still. There is one at Hanley bowling alley and here and there around some cities. There's one in Shrewsbury and one in Crewe, that I know. There's one around Birkenhead I remember because a friend of mine put a brick through one of the windows.

The Almighty MacDonalds and Burger King and partly KFC are overtaking the land though.

Wish I had an apartment in Sydney. Then I could walk around talking like people from Neighbours and go "G'day, mate" all the time. I think my cousin is in Queensland and a friend of mine is in Darwin.

I'm mad at Australia though, you sent Kylie Minogue and Holly Valance here

New years eve we're having a bunch of Jay's stupid drunken friends over. I might barricade myself in here especially if the one guy brings his idiot girlfriend who follows me around asking me if her boyfriend is cheating. I might just tell her next time he is - I don't know if he is, but at least she'll dump him and never come over again.

Ahahaha. Wait until about 23:55 on NYE before saying he's cheating on her. The result will be 10 times more exciting that the fireworks.

We may have sent Kylie and Holly over there, but you sent us pasty, drunken "lads" that invade our beaches and drink all our tasty, tasty, Victoria Bitter and Fosters.

I'm probably going to Nathan Phillips Square in Downtown Toronto with my girlfriend and some of her friends to party and countdown to New years. There's a free concert (with crappy singers:P) from 10:30 til 2:00

Hmmmmmm I'm probably going to be one of those drunken lads who invades your beautiful country where it's summer all year round (except when it's not). And what's with the 'lads'? I am insulted on behalf of my country!!!

No offence intended, in fact, every young Englishman I've met always refers to his mates as 'lads'. On the flip-side, they could be the exception. Perhaps the sun got to them.

Either way, have a bonza bottler of a NYE!

You're really big on the Aussie slang there Random!

Are you actually from Oz or is it your adopted country of choice?

BTW - your choice of beer is absolutely mortifying, only bums and westies drink VB and I dont know ANYONE that drinks Fosters.... sigh

and I will personally apologise for Kylie and Holly - Please know that there arent any Australians who like them either!!

Well, I'm not planning to do anything for New Year's Eve. I have to work until 12:30 (only 2.5 hours to go!) Then I'm going to the mall to return some Christmas presents. My sister is coming over and I'll make dinner, we'll drink a bit and probably play some board games or watch some movies or something. Then we'll probably do something ridiculous.

Well, now that the plans I made for today have been twisted around and all screwed up, here are our new plans. About five or six of us are going for a late breakfast/lunch, and then going our seperate ways. Then later tonight we are going to the pool hall and playing pool while watching the ball drop. Meh, at least it's something.

I went to downtown Denver for New Years, which turned out to be a big mistake since all I got to see was a bunch of kids drinking openly in public, being complete idiots as they did it in front of cops, then get violent when arrested, then pass out and throw up all over the place from their seemingly first experience with alcohol. The entire downtown area was overrun with 13-15 year old morons. These kids were trying to run past security guards to get into bars, pissed off when stores wouldn't sell them beer without IDs and then decided it would be fun to start panhandling strangers and make idiots out of themselves. After realizing we'd have to drive home on the same roads as them, we eventually just left before Midnight.

And we also went to see Peter Pan. If you're a kid, you'll probably like it. If you're a parent or family person, you'll like it. If you're me, you will hate it. Talk about your stereotypical, annoying kid movie. It was made for children and strictly for children, I think. Seeing how I ban all Disney from my home, kid movies don't settle well with my tastes.

Hey I know the girl who plays Wendy in the new peter pan film. Friend of a friend.

We got pissed by about 6 o clock. Went for a walk to the village but there was noone out (stupid country villages). Got back at about 4 and dossed about playing pool and he went home about an hour ago. I had a shower to sober up a bit and drank a load of water and now im fine. I'm going to sleep for about three days though.

Had one of the best New Years Eves in long time.  We live in a cul-du-sac and have pretty nice neighbors.  We all decided to have a progressive dinner, one course of the meal at each house (5 houses).  Each house had 1 hour, except the last house, dessert, where we spent the rest of the evening.  It was very cool.  Each house had decorations up and of course there was different wine, beer, liquors at each house.  By the salad couse, everyone was feeling pretty good!  Also at each house, everyone drew a card from a deck of playing cards so that each person had a poker hand by the end of the night.  The highest three hands won a small prize.  Then we had a bonfire in the middle of the cul-du-sac until midnight and shot off some fireworks.  This is illegal, but we are out in the country.  The police actually drove by but didn't stop,he-he. We are definetely doing this again next year.
