Beign home with family on New Year's Eve

Oh God there's nothing worse, especially if it's just immediate family.

I spent new years with the family last year, and I was in bed by 1. Luckily this year we are going into the city

It's awesome how the hate thread has almost double the replies in half the time of the love thread.

 

[Laura M]

I hate that our neighbour, the King of DIY, has forced me out of bed the last two mornings at 9am because of the amount of noise he has been making. It is now 10.10am and he is still drilling. This happens nearly every weekend too and it's impossible to ignore.

 

[Purplereign]

^ do you know how to cut his power supply momentarily

 

[lauramullen]

men that wear shorts in 20 degree weather.

 

[MooMoo!]

The one thing worse than unemployment, is having lots of job offers coming at once.

exactly, it is just immediate family, and I'll be in bed on about 1. Ah, going to the city. That's what I wanted to do, but all of my friends are on some holidays, or working.

Going to the grocery store and coming out with bags of groceries only to find that your car is blocked by a tanker truck delivering gas to the gas station next door, and being told it's going to take 45 minutes before he's done.

RAGE.

As someone about to be unemployed, I still think unemployment is worse.

 

[MooMoo!]

Well my experiences of unemployment have always been cos I wanted to leave due to whatever reason, so theres always been some upside to me.

Ill put it in this order then, worst first from my experience

1.Looking for work (this drove me to the utter pit of despair and put me on medication)
2.More than one offer coming at once (I had 3 job offers, 1 I left, cos it was ridiculous and I really applied as a joke, 1 is relevent to my career, so I want to do it but am shit scared about, and 1 my mum has been trying to get me for ages, so if I take the second job, I wont have time for it, and Ill let her down)
3.Leaving. My last boss was an absolute control freak. I loved the job but I HAD to leave before I punched her face in.

 

[lauramullen]

It is bad to have more than one job offer at the same time because you have to choose which one to take and after you take you'll be second guessing yourself if you took the right one.

 

[Lemonchick]

Snow.
Shoveling snow.
Scraping the car.
Cold weather.
Runny noses.
Dry skin.
WINTER.

Yes.

Add to that slipping and falling because of ice. Having to stand on a pile of snow to get the bus because the stop hasn't been cleared. Etc.

 

[cobl04]

Well, now it's over, how was it?? Because in the end my night was kinda sucky. We went to this club just past the city, pain in the ass to get to and from, the club was like 20 feet underground, the club was pretty shit, drinks were ridiculously overpriced, there was no midnight romance or any romance from then on in fact.

Maybe new year's eve really is overrated.

 

[cobl04]

Oh yeah, I was going to add.

Being single I'm officially over it now in 2009. I'm not good at it. I can't just go to a club and pick up all these girls. Always second-guessing myself. I'd be good I reckon at being a boyfriend.

Let's see what 2009 brings!!

^ if I'm prying ignore me . . . but why force yourself to eat something you really don't like?
I'm a bona fide meat eater but have a stack of friends who don't eat meat at all and we always manage to come up with a more than a few tasty vegie morsels to satisfy all at celebrations . . . but if you are going to hitch yourself back to the meat eating carnivorous wagon ease in there . . . i wouldn't be rushing for a wagyu steak straight up

Oh, I don't usually force myself to eat something I don't like - I was just getting sick of the lasagne after a while because it was the only vegetarian food at Christmas time, no shops were open, family around, etc.

I actually had a tiny bit of pepperoni the other night. I used to love it, but after I ate it, I found it pretty unsatisfying. Basically I wished it were jalapeno instead, which is what I've been using as a replacement since since I went vegetarian. So I'll see what happens. I never really liked steak, anyway.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Okay, I just want to say straight out that I hate alcopops/pre-mixed drinks. Cruisers, breezers, Jack and cokes, etc. They should be illegal or something. They basically encourage adolescents and teenagers to drink, and excessively. If you want to drink, you should be able to appreciate the natural tastes rather than drinking idiot's cordial. The world would be a damn sight better off without them. Not that it'd stop people from mixing drinks themselves, but that's their problem - at least then it's personal, rather than in-your-face advertising.

 

[Purplereign]

^ couldn't have said it better myself

my kids have all tasted it and think its "yummy" . . . .
"why can't we have some more mum, it tastes just like the creaming soda we have at birthdays" . . .
the makers of these things need to grow a moral code

I disagree strongly, I would rather have teenage girls be more sure that their drink hasn't been tampered with than have them cracking open a bottle of cheap vodka and passing it around to god know who.

I saw a bunch of youths with the nastiest jug of sherry over new years, if our moralistic leaders hadn't cracked down on alcopops that stupidity could have been avoided.

 

[cobl04]

I can see both sides, but there's alot more harm to be done in not having them. all that's left then is straight alcohol, which can then be mixed to dangerous levels.

The fact that clubs can serve this ABC shots (Absinthe, Bacardi and something else, all mixed around like 70% or something) continually despite patrons being blind amazes me... a friend blew .295 i think on the breath tester, and then proceeded to down more of these shots.

I'm going to assume that your drink has never been spiked with a daterape drug.

Granted, I've seen people younger than me get trashed on just about everything, whether cheap goon, beer or absinthe - but considerably more often than anything, it's premixed drinks. I'm not trying to get conservative here, they should be having fun - but why give them drinks that taste like soft drinks, feel like soft drinks, but get you fucked up? How is there anything good about it? What is the reward? There's nothing to savour, they're drinks aimed at younger people with the intention of getting them wasted. That's it.

Really, you're going to be seeing teens drink unthinkable things like muddy sherry regardless of what happens.

What's really disgusting is the fact that while I oppose it greatly, I'd probably still try that. You see? They just shouldn't advertise that stuff to gullible teenagers.

 

[cobl04]

Yeah, I can definitely see your point there. I think Cruisers are the worst. I've had nights where I've drunk five or six beers, and then Cruisers have come out and they go down in two or three drinks. It's alcholic lemonade, and yeah the way it's marketed isn't good. I mean, even my sister (10 yo) went 'mmm!' and licked her lips after having some.

I spose the argument about the shots is that unless you've got irresponsible parents and a sneaky kid, the underage aren't going to be really exposed to it.

There is no reward, it is an exceptionally pointless drug, I think that you are asking the wrong rhetorical questions for dealing with a cultural attitude towards drinking which swings from parents with a puritanical disdain for drinking when it is on the news to being the ones who buy a case of bacardi for their kids.

Binge drinking isn't reducible to the availability of premixed drinks, I am very contemptuous towards the current governments prohibitionist approach of higher taxation and restrictions. Kids get wasted on premixes because they are cheap, when that tart-fuel becomes more expensive they get wasted on Stones Original Green Ginger Wine.

I was stuck to my computer, watched some films and chatted with one friend, on midnight I came to living room to touch the glasses with my parents and then I watched fireworks for about a half an hour. And I didn't end up in bed by 1 but on about half past three

Right, I more or less agree with that. So what do you propose to a culture that simultaneously glorifies and demonises binge drinking?

Binge drinking is never going to completely stop. Never said that. Premixes just add fuel to the fire. Is something such as Stones Original Green Ginger Wine being advertised all over urban districts, not just the interior of pubs and bottle-o's? Is it likely to be consumed by a teenager that, say, doesn't come from a broken home or doesn't have the connections for it to be available to them? Just because it's out there doesn't mean everybody's going to try it.

I don't think marijuana's a gateway narcotic, but I think vodka Cruisers are very much a gateway drink.

 

[MooMoo!]

I also hold that stance on being anti alcopop. The companies have pretty much all but admitted they wont stop making them due to uproar over young people drinking them because they make so much money.

If I had kids Id much rather they were drinking beer or cider than an alcopop.

 

[Purplereign]

Okay, seems I missed a bit of back and forth in the old alcopop debate . . . my 2 cents

Most kids will experiment with alcohol no matter what level of parental education they have encountered . . . whether you want to look at that as a rite of passage, peer pressure, stupidity whatever, it will happen

I have 3 kids, one of whom has just entered the supposedly magical realm of 'teenagehood' so maybe that colours my view point somewhat . . . having said that, I find it morally reprehensible of the booze companies and the marketing campaigns that the alcopops are so clearly aimed at young kids and those who don't traditionally like to drink . . . and that lame arsed attempt by the govt to raise the prices to make them less affordable . . . phooey . . . all its done is get the booze companies to find more creative ways to market . . .

 

[MooMoo!]

I never even realised how cheap it was, a big bottle of WKD is about £3. :/ If kids can afford to smoke they can certainly afford that.
