Happy New Year! Empty Happy New Year!

Post by Eldorion Sun Jan 01, 2012 12:42 am

I think most of our members have probably already reached 2012, but I thought I'd make a special thread anyway. It's probably near mid-day on 1 January in Australia and shortly after midnight across Europe, but in the Americas we still have a little more to go. Regardless of what time zone you're in, however, I hope that everyone is able to do something special to mark the end of the old year and the beginning of the new, even it's something small (sometimes those can be the nicest things).

It's certainly been a tumultuous year for us as a community, but it says a lot to me about our strength and connection that we have stuck together. We passed the old forum's post count in 10 months (compared to 26 months) and the number of high-posting members has dramatically increased. I feel very proud to say that despite a sometimes painful move, we are going into the new year stronger than we came into this one, thanks to all the wonderful new members we have and to the number of people who have been posting regularly.

Happy New Year, Forumshire! cheers

drunken Happy Hogmanay!! drunken

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
in a buckie filled haze?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and auld lang syne ?


For auld lang syne my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll tak a cup o’ buckie yet,
for auld lang syne.

And surely ye’ll be paying fer yir own drink !
and surely I’ll be mine !
And we’ll tak a cup o’ buckie yet,
for auld lang syne.

We lot hae run about the forum,
and talked a lot of pish ;
An' we’ve wander’d mony a weary thread,
sin auld lang syne.

We've aw hud a' piss i' the burn,
to get rid of the exces buckie;
But bevvy between us braid hae roar’d
sin auld lang syne.

And there’s a bottle of buckie, my trusty fiere !
and gie's a bottle o’ thine !
And we’ll tak a right gude-swally waught,
for auld lang syne.

That was a breathtaking fireworks show! Very Happy Sadly the Times Square celebration in New York doesn't do fireworks, but they showed brief clips of celebrations around the world (including London) and those all had fireworks. I felt rather jealous, particularly since instead of fireworks I had to watch Jenny McCarthy call people "cutie patootie" and make out with cops for the second year in a row. Laughing
