Hey everyone

posting here shamelessly for traffic

if you’re at home alone, with a —man— partner you want to leave, or with sugared up kids, join me??

Happy New Year, whatever you’re up to, AIBU users

I was today years old when I discovered Jools Hootenanny is not live, and I've been watching it a long time. Feel like a proper idiot.

I just turned over to bbc one and Ronan keating is prancing about like mick jagger 😂😂😂

If you’re watching on the iPlayer, remember transmission is delayed!

DH just said re Hootenanny- it's not what it once was.

feels quite tragic really- maybe has had it's day?

Quite agree, certainly not as good as it once was.

Sitting here alone as dc are out partying and dh isn’t well so already in bed. Feeling quite peaceful and relaxed actually after not looking forward to being alone this evening.

Sad to hear Ronan is shit, saw him in concert years ago and he was brilliant!

Tiredofitallagain · 31/12/2025 23:59

It's been a bit lacklustre this year!
Should have switched to hootenanny.

GreywackeJ · 31/12/2025 23:59

Jessie J bellowing has made me angry.

My family are forcing me to sit through this shite.

Lulu has strong ‘your Nan at karaoke after too many snowballs’ vibe

The fireworks never disapoint. That big Ben chime. 🤩🤩

Empress13 · 01/01/2026 00:12

Hate Jools Holland show especially as it’s not live as I think some people believe

I know, they're quite something aren't they? I love fireworks. DH on the other hand is of the opinion that less is more. (Obviously he's wrong but there we are)

Off to bed now.

Why are the BBC / Mayor of London adding these bloody graphics to the London eye for the TV coverage? Let the fireworks and music do their thing!

Walkacrossthesand · 01/01/2026 00:23

Next year, I suggest trying BBC Scotland at 1130 for their Hogmanay - not immune to the odd ‘meh’ act but it makes a change from Graham and Jules. They go to Edinburgh for the lights & bells, you could switch back at 2358 for Big Ben… HNY!

I agree, but personally I don't think we need the music either. I just want to see and hear the fireworks without all the soundbites and nonsense.

TheGriffle · 01/01/2026 00:25

Loved the fireworks but was so sad there were no drones, I really loved previous years drone shows.

Currently absolutely murdering Tracy Chapman.

There should be a moratorium on covering that song. Just leave it alone. Please. Everyone that covers it makes a complete arse of it.

Very funny moment on Graham Norton tonight when the boy from Adolescence mentioned that he had school tomorrow and someone else joked about school on new years day...
The pretence that they are live is silly really when we know they aren't!

I was never a huge boyzone fan, but who is that one on the left? He looks like a dodgy bouncer.

TaraMySalata · 01/01/2026 00:29

There’s something really unsettling about his face 🤣

Shane? I was wondering what he's on, because it's clearly not the same planet as the other 2!

Must admit, Heather Small was ace then at getting everyone up and dancing. Can't tell whether Paul Whitehouse is laughing at or along with Craig David.
