Sky also flashed the bulletin. Sigh. 2016 2.0. Or 2015 3.0.

Yes whilst we are all having fun finishing the night off in London Portugal or Togo, we should spare a few thoughts for the poor sods in Istanbul who are innocent victims of these attackers

It is a good time to see some images of the phoenix in Amsterdam on BVN.

Close up of the beak.


Ignition.


The phoenix rises.






View from the other side of the harbour.



Then the fireworks began. One of the famous I Amsterdam signs is on the left.

Yes, and nobody should change what they do on NYE or that would be giving in to the dipsticks.

Will probably hit the sack after the UK midnight but will set the STB to record CNN NYE so I could catch up on it later.

Me too.

I wonder what Kathy will do this year.

Not sure if it will be worth recording in HD though.

Great video.

I was expecting it to suddenly be hit by a firework and fall out of the sky at the end.

The Clockwork Orange music would have been good as well.
