Big Ben
 

Is there a way to watch the New Year's Eve Big Ben chimes on the internet? The New Year just ain't the same without Big Ben....it's a bit of an anti-climax actually. I'd love to watch it live and grab some of the atmosphere.

Hope someone comes up with an answer, would like to see that myself. I have mostly got over the frequent homesickness but this was my first Christmas away from family and the UK, and to be frank, it sucked..... :(

Re: Big Ben
 

Only trouble is it'd be like "BOING...Happy New year....oh its only 7pm"

I know! But really I'd rather celebrate it at 7pm the British way and then again with the anti-climatic American way at midnight. The first chime of Big Ben always brings a tear to my eye.

Re: Big Ben
 

It did mine too when I got my fingers caught in a model of it one drunken news year eve.

But I know what you mean. If it'll help Ill come on here and type BOING really loudly at midnight next saturday.

Houston has sucked all the intelligence out of you!

Last year one of the cable news channels was going country by country on the hour. 5pm was something like Helsinki, 6pm was Berlin, 7pm was London etc. etc... Dont know whether they are going to do it again (not that I can remember if it was MSNBC, Faux News or CNN)

Re: Big Ben
 

Details please. :D :D

Re: Big Ben
 

they usually go around the world at new year on tv or simply print this out and place one of those little jingle bells in side before assembling it. give it a shake at 7pm est.... nearly as good

Hehehe I thought you were posting about the Steelers quarterback :) Here we go Pittsburgh!

Re: Big Ben
 

I hope you are going to remember to do that for every time zone ?

Re: Big Ben
 

It wasnt pretty I can assure you.

Re: Big Ben
 

Oh aye. I'll be on for 24 hours straight typing BOING on the hour every hour.

Re: Big Ben
