[mumofoneAloneandwell]

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 thought it was all a bit cringe this year.

I thought it was Jim Moir!

Having just googled “Shane from boyzone” I think you’re right. Strong wrong un vibes.

I’m honestly not a negative ninny and normally love the London fireworks show but that’s got to be one of the worst I’ve seen, not in terms of the fireworks themselves they looked great, but 2025 just seemed a really lack lustre year of celebrations?!

I fear Ronan is giving off ancient Cliff Richard vibes re the 'dancing'😱

The fireworks were so boring and the soundtrack so awful that i had to give up.

That cracked me up!

The music and voiceovers were absolutely appalling. Only what I’d expect from Khan.

TV was awful. Watching you tube. Scottish hogmanay shows like last call and Mason boyne. Interspersed with music clips. Bowie signing Hereos atm

I think there was so much that went on in 2025 that they couldn't even touch. I missed the drones too but loved the beginning with the sunshine.

Aw thank you, I appreciate that x

I don’t watch sport, but the ladies did so well last year.
This year is a male World Cup one .. oh no is all I can say about that !

Ronnie Wood is slaughtering Ooh lala 😩

Dull indeed 😒

I like the kooks
it’s an old song though

lol!!!…embarrassing-Ronnie Wood like your grandad on Karaoke -I am nearly 60 so not young myself -and that awful band The Kooks -guy sounds like he is singing into a mobile phone on a train going through a tunnel !…just Stop 🙄

Ahh! I hate that they pretend it’s NYE when this was recorded weeks ago!

I've been watchingRonan Keating who I used to see when we popped to Ureland for the weekend. Afternoon train to Gatwick, fly to Dublin, then Sligo or Knock and hure car staying at a local b and b. Fly Sligo to Gatwick Monday and be back by Clapham Common as Concorde roared overhead. I could hear Concorde as it flew over Bristol when we first moved to Cornwall. Still think I'm in London when planes to and from Newquay fly overhead and from the plane the Cornish scenery over Newquay reminds me of the West Coast of Ireland. Had some hairy flights into Knock.Happy New Year , praying for some peace.

Lulu really does have a great plastic surgeon. Hers never looks terrible like so many celebs.

Love the Hootenanny. They are all utterly half cut. Especially Lulu who is now singing David Bowie for some reason.

Enjoyed the spectacle of the fireworks but wish they wouldn’t put on the music - it was rubbish. Jane McFonald was better than Roman or the Hootenany, and that’s saying something!

We're English, live in England - but the Hogmanay celebrations (and comedies/other regular shows before) on BBC Scotland are compulsory for us. The London programme is so often truly lacklustre, although Sam Ryder and Rick Astley (watched later on catch-up) have been rare highlights in previous years.

However, I didn't realise until this year that the Hogmanay programme is also pre-recorded three weeks or so in advance. I suppose I should have got a big clue from the fact that they no longer bill it as 'Hogmanay Live'! It was great to see Karen Dunbar and Tom Urie back this year too.

Quite jazzy

Love Olivia dean

Agreed. I thought it really spoiled the show. We don’t need a narrative either. The music and the fireworks only please next year.

Imelda May is excellent !
