The Christmas 2023 and New Year thread

[TonyCarter]

It's price of entry anywhere these days is insane on New Years, even the local pub charges entry.

You need like £300 for a decent night out.

BACK IN MY DAY drinks were £1 a pint, no pubs charged entry, clubs were like £20. A taxi was £20 across half of london.

God I'm old.

I think £20 in a London Black Cab would now only get you from about Euston Station to King's Cross Station.

I'm having a relatively quiet NYE, as I drank way too much on Boxing Day (2 bottles of 15 year old Brunello, a bottle of Limongino, bottle of coffee liqueur, a bottle of gin, and a couple of cups of rum-laced hot chocolate).

£1 a pint, whats this Narnia

You were robbed. I recall buying 4 gallons of petrol for under £1 and saying keep the change. A pint was the equivilant of 10p

Well, the bottle of gin was only half full when I started…and it was over about 14 hours.

"right before the clock strikes midnight on dec 31st
make sure you raise your left leg
that way you will start the new year off on the right foot".

Ich spreche ein bissen Deutsch - which comes in handy due to all my driving trips to Germany.

Ich habe einen grossen Auspuff.

Kotya ya ne govoru po russki. Menu adeen pazholista.

The problem I had when working abroad, is all the foreigners wanted to speak English all the time
