I know exactly where I was that first year Text messages on NYE became possible and you had to hit send again and again and again because it wouldn't get through. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 My epileptic mate asked people on Facebook not to send him happy new year gifs with flashing images in them. Don't know why that tickled me so much, anyway happy new year everyone! Hope covid finally dies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, sometimes it would be SMS gridlock for an hour or two into the new year. Frustrating at the time but quite nostalgic now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Follyfoot Posted January 1, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 1, 2022 Happy New Year everyone. Remember not to do any clothes washing today as you will wash one of your family away in the coming year (my mother just told me this in a very concerned fashion a few moments ago whilst wishing happy New Year after the same message from Dad a couple of days ago! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted January 1, 2022 Author VT Supporter Share Posted January 1, 2022 (edited) Mrs Sidcow just had a WhatsApp message from the lad. By some miracle he got a clear Covid test late last night and another today so managed to get himself out for NYE. First one away from us I'm so pleased for him, he has missed so many rites of passage and was absolutely desperate not to be the only one in isolation whilst his mates were partying. He's been so depressed in his room all over Christmas. Edited January 1, 2022 by sidcow 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 (edited) House parties should be banned. I know it’s New Years but I don’t want to hear drum and base and other loud shite from next door at 02:00. They have kids aged 4 and 7 who are up until 01:00 most nights and are up right now screeching to the music. Small Heath fans too. No signs of stopping yet either. I know I’m a miserable git but I do find stuff like that selfish. I wouldn’t do it to my neighbours, so why do it to me? Just want them to shut the **** up now. If you want an all nighter then **** off out somewhere. Edited January 1, 2022 by Ingram85 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAuthority Posted January 1, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 1, 2022 Well the ball just dropped in NYC which is still my spiritual home so Happy 2022 you lot! I hope it is wonderful for you all! I'll probably be passed out by the time it hits midnight here. We did get about 6 inches of snow tonight though. Which was a nice way to start 2022.
