ICTChris Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I hate having to do manly handshakes to everyone I meet for the first few days of the year. "Ah yes happy new year" MANLY HANDSHAKE "Did you have a big new year then?" "No I sat in with the wife watching television" Please kill me.

NorthernJambo Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I just tell people I can't be bothered with any of that pish. Christ Shands, folk are just being friendly. "Happy new year pal, you have a good one?" *offers hand for handshake* "A CANNAE BE BOTHERED WI YER PISH" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadgerTheBadger Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I just tell people I can't be bothered with any of that pish. I manned up last year and done it. In my bed for half 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddieInDundee Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Absolutely f**k all, forced myself to do something for the past nine hogmanays until I realised I didn't really care about it.It will be, however, exactly one year since I met my current girlfriend. I'd just finished work an hour after the bells, got steaming at my mate's flat party and rifled her on his couch.So romantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know knows me knows how I can't be bothered with the festive period. Most people I know can't either as it forces them to spend time with their wives/kids. A "Happy New Year" usually turns into a soul-searching moan about it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Joe Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Usual shite. McEwans Export with whisky chasers, watching Still Game, Only an Excuse etc in the house, followed by Phil and Ally at the Bells then over to BBC2 for Jools Holland. A buffet consisting of shortbread and fruitcake on the side. Have got a case of Tennents in the garage in the unlikely event of first footers turning up. Anyone requesting Budweiser or Jack Daniels gets treated with the contempt they deserve... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if someone wishes you a happy new year and offers a handshake, you refuse and tell them you "can't be bothered with that pish"?Miserable cùnt.

But it's so robotised. They're doing it from habit, not sincerity. I'll take the miserable c accusation though, that's fair enough. Missus went out earlier and asked if I could Hoover up the Christmas tree pine needles. I said the best solution would be for me to get the tree to the dump. "Miserable c" was a rough summmation of her reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xmas is good for the kids and I enjoy the family get together. New year is a joke! Hate it. Another day in my opinion. A pathetic excuse for half the country to get ratarsed for no reason. This year will be even worse with all the cretins from the old firm out in force! Can get pished any day I want, don't need a hyped up day to do it, buy a ticket to get in a pub where they rip u off anyway? No thanks! I'll see in the bells with the mrs then go to bed and go to work on the 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like a party at least as much as the next man but feel the festive season has run its course. I'm not a pagan, not a Christian. These dates mean nothing to me.

Helpma Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Flying back to Dubai. First time in years I'll be up for the bells. I've even broken my usual habits & gone for a window seat to watch the fireworks as we come in to land.It'll probably be foggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to offer a bro fist like some game of paper, rock, scissors and usually they just see it as awkward and the hand retreats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
