Wow the clock is ticking.

Don't think we will get anything quite like that at New Brighton.

Dubais looked pretty impresssive

The major cities put on amazing displays, I think Hong Kong's were particularly spectacular.

The noise of fireworks here drowned out any ships hooting - which I would rather hear at New Year that a lot of loud explosive meaningless 'bangs'.
