All the best for 2008, folks!
I thought I’d leave the blog until the official, official end of the holidays (today), with the help of the Xbox 360, of course.
I brought in the bells in the street party at Edinburgh, just the fiver one, not the 30 odd quid one. It was good, but it didn’t have the personality of Glasgow. Strangers were just keeping themselves to themselves, not like in Glasgow where everycunt’s shaking the hands of everycunt walking by. But that’s Glasgow, and Glasgow’s Miles Better.
After that, we headed to Cabaret Voltaire where I had an excellent night, the best night oot I’ve had in a long time, thanks to Ultragroove. The music was cracking and I’ll definitely be back to try and relive the night.
What did yous all get up to?
I had a fairly quiet one since I had a brutal head cold, now I’m back in Cork walking about like I fucking own the place.
I did the same as you.
George Square and saw the View, who I was prejudiced against previously due to them looking like smelly Dundonian schemie cunts. I have to admit though, they were brilliant and my opinion has softened slightly.
Then back to my pals’ flat and got oot it till 8pm New Years night. Wind-assisted frenetic shite talking all the way!
Happy New Year!!!
Thnks for the kind words re the club sir, and glad you had fun. Drop me an email when you get a sec, and I’ll get some mix cds organised. Hopefully see you back at ultra soon.
best, Fraze

Do you Weegies keep repeating that in your head until it becomes true or are you actually basing that on fact? When I say fact, I don’t mean a hasty generalisation.

Know your logical fallacies.
I spent New Year in Edinburgh where people are unfriendly, posh, English, say “how” instead of why, etc, etc, etc.
My new year was like a Paul McCartney video.
Limmy can i ask one question?
At the bottom of the page i think i can see a wee happy face, one of those internet smiles, just under where it says “Limmy’s blog is proudly powered by wordpress”
Tell me im not going mad? Do i win a prize?
i went to optimo and it was smashing. it of a different crowd from usual but the music was “bangin’”. I got some great pictures of everything on my new christmas camera, which I have now lost. balls.
Well since you ask, I went to Optimo at the Fruitmarket. Really, really good, so it were. I danced and I danced and I danced and then I realised that the McDonald brothers were bringing the year to a cracking close at Jumping Jacks and then I danced some more. There was this guy called Dan Deacon playing who Dj’d in the crowd and got loads of crowd paticipation stuff going-sounds wanky but it was fun to see an “electro-céilidh”. The venue was great as well-all big and pretty with loads of room to dance.
Amazing ravey version of Auld Lang Syne when the bells came in and all.
Ten out of ten. Hope you all had a happy one.
was wonderin if yer new year resolution was to dissapear for a while there.
glad to hear glasgows better then edinburgh in the new year stakes. was a sure thing though really.
in answer to yer question, i went to my mates next to the kelvingrove gallery and self-indulged in illegalities, set off fireworks in the park, rattled nosebleed techno and migraine house and then went to bed for three days. alone. ah well.
happy new year everyone.
And thanks to you, Frazer, for the taxi and drinks at the end! I’ll gie ye that email!
Naw, it’s no based on fact, it’s based on guesswork, cos that’s all I’ve got to go on considering I’m from Glasgow and I was in Edinburgh on Hogmanay as per my fucking story.
I think it’s a wee graphic that WordPress uses to gather stats, I’ve just discovered.

Hey Daniel, I work in Wigan (at the Tote), which as you probably know is pretty pish (Wigan).
It’s amazing when the Peruvian guys come to busk at the little centrepoint in the town. I’ve seen whole families their mouth agape in awe at people from another county performing free for them. It truly is a joy to see.
I got so tuned I can’t remember
Thanks fuck. I thought you were deid!
Aye, all the very best.
Oh aye, and I was in France because I’ve had too many disappointing New Years at home, glad to hear yours surpassed expectations…I’d love a New Year like that one more time.
Happy new year
I was working till 22 then a friend picked me up from work and we saw panorama fireworks from a mountainside outside the city…and i bought some fireworks that were quite nice to watch when they were shoot up :^: :^: ( last year we were allowed to shoot up fireworks ourself) ,met some mates at the mountain but then it went just quiet after that stuff and I slept all alone to the next day ….. so not much partying for me, was too tired from the work thou……
Hopefully theres gonna be better times in Glasgow in March
Happy new year right back at you, mine was almost spoilt at 4am by me close to getting lifted after trying to batter my youngest brother who I caught bawling in his/our mothers face at the top of the road full of drink… that’ll teach the jumped up cunt, been quiet as a moose since! But before that, down the local in my hometown and back to the hoose with the family before the bells, my granny who’s 80 stays down the road so we always go walk her over to see in the bells with her and give her a cherry/brandy whitever… it was nice!

Yeah Limmy, godsakes, know your logical fallacies. Duh.
and Happy New Year!
Edinburgh’s no been the same since 10 year ago. It’s far too sanitised now. Personally, I think it got too up itself after it got loads of recognition. Now it’s filled with tourists looking for the Hogmany experience.
i was at optimo dancing, wafting eccie farts while chewing my own eyebrows.
my musk for 2008 was buckfast and a ten deck of mayfair
Happy new year a’body (still no read ma xmas broons)
Got dressed up an stayed in with ma lady, bit food an drink, cos we coudnae be fucked wi the usual madness. First new year’s day without the fear in a long while. Braw!
aw the best troops !
I stayed in with the bf cos I couldn’t drink….literally couldn’t. I had so much to drink over xmas I boaked a wee bit every time I smelled alcohol. So I stayed in watched only an excuse, still game and brought the bells in with 1 sip of a blue wkd – adventurous.
Then I sat and played Bullseye for the dvd player. Was braw so it was. And as Snout says, I was able to get up nice and early and eat my New Year’s Day lunch with no threat of praying to the porcelain god directly after.
It was nice.
“It was good, but it didn’t have the personality of Glasgow. Strangers were just keeping themselves to themselves, not like in Glasgow where everycunt’s shaking the hands of everycunt walking by.”
Ah hate it when weegies come oot with this pish. “We’re so warm, we’re so friendly, when we’re slittin your throat for wearing the wrong fitba jersey or being affilliated tae the wrong brand ae christianity.”
Guess whit. Ah like being left with ma pals withoot a loady bams hassling us. I like going for a pint on my ain withoot some auld bore coming over and tellin me aboot how he met Dorothy Paul at “the dancin” in 1961. I like bein aloof and unfriendly and insular, an that’s why we’re the capital and you’re no.
Good site bytheby, you’re a funny cunt aw the same.
Oh, and I saw in the bells on a beach surrounded by well dodgey Asian fireworks going off and tanked up westernerns jumping into the sea in their pants/buff
it was special…
took the wife and kids to see yon fireball ceremony in stonehaven. ah, the highlife eh? happy new year an aw that pish.
I’m with Begbie on this. Give me real culture instead of some tokenistic award bestowed upon it by the nidrons who run the EC. Apart from being cities of culture what else have Glesga and Liverpool got in common?
Poverty and poor living standards
High crime rates (one does not necessarily lead to the other)
A misguided sense of injustice at their lot -just as well diplomatic Boris Johnson does not go to Glasgow often!
Re: Apart from being cities of culture what else have Glesga and Liverpool got in common?
The biggest music scenes in the UK.
Successful football teams.
Accents that don’t make them sound thick.
Nabedy fae Embra!!
late reply: i was at the street party aswell! but while you were in cabaret Voltaire i was in my flat, which is just across the street from there, wretching and puking up bile into the toilet.
Happy New Year!!!
