[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 1167868, member: 176362"] I assume we will be running the usual end of year [B][I]Follow the Fireworks[/I][/B] fun on the forum? Usual routine, tune into Auckland midnight at 1100 UK time then work our way westwards across the time zones seeing what weird & wonderful celebrations we can find, no doubt a smattering of wrinkly rockers and an awful lot of fireworks! For those of you that havent seen the format before the usual firework highlights are Auckland Sydney Taipei Pyongyang(!) - erratic but have had a few excellent displays in recent years Dubai Berlin or one of the German cities London Channels are all almost all watched via FTA channels on 13E during the day, the Germans on 19E & a few news channels on 28E. There are always a few contributors chipping in with some of the other birds - eg the Ukrainians & Baltics on 5E and whatever other oddities we can find on the other birds across the European arc. There is also the opportunity to watch the classic [B]Dinner For One[/B] on 19E. The Reuters news feed on 22W is also a useful one to have access to as they tend to have the full displays from main cities on. [I][B]Same procedure as every year??[/B][/I] :-rofl2 Notes for 2024: Same as last years comments - goodness knows what will be happening this year what with the ongoing war in Ukraine, the Israel / Gaza conflict and the situation blowing up in Syria. Dinner For One was virtually unknown in the UK until I discovered it on on the German channels on my folks old Sky analogue system about 30 years ago. Chatting about it on the forums in the intervening years has led to a bit of a cult following now :) Its got well enough known had a couple of showings on UK tv in recent years :-respekt As usual I'll close this for now & reopen it a few days before NYE BTW - 2024 seems to be the 20th anniversary of Chasing Midnight on this forum - the first one I can find is 2004, with regular Chasing from 2007 onwards. The 2004 thread has a whole 5 messages in it!! :-lmao [/QUOTE]
