I was going to have a go at baking a baguette but the local shop didn't have any bread flour so balls to that.
I got myself some cookies, biscuits and crisps instead. Let the party begin!

You know I think I dislike new years eve more than I do Christmas.
New years really brings out the great qualities in people. Tonight I saw:
A guy spit right in front of our group. Any closer and it would have been on one of us.
Had to listen to two racist guys talking garabage.
Heard but thankfuly not saw a guy relieving himself behind a pillar
saw a guy very nearly get hit by a bus

I'm not sure they're that much comparable? Yes they are celebrations and parties. But Christmas to me is eating a big dinner and gifts and seeing family. Whereas NYE is getting blind drunk and kissing strangers when the big hand gets to 12 on the clock. In my case watching Jools Holland or nipping to the toilet and missing the turn of the year.

Usually the least favourite night of the year, but on this occasion I am so glad to see the back of 2011 that it is a celebration.
Certainly not a good year if you're a fan of evil dictators and tyrants.

You manage to see the worst of humanity, reds!

Yup. I rekon we had our fair share of death and destruction, both natural and man made. We should get a year off. And if someone could fix that teeny tiny problem of the economy, that'd be great.
On Hogmanay (or New Year's Eve, if you must call it that) I plunge into depression and this year is worse than ever. I can see no cause for it - just want to thunp my head with an iron bar and fall down a deep hole to wait till tomorrow.
On a brighter note, I've just been for the longest wee ever.

Let's try and aim a bit higher with your posts in 2012, bigfella.
I didn't pee on the floor!
Now I know why people don't usually eat two satsumas at once.
