90 minutes into 2013 and we have the winner for pathetically cynical post of the year.

Outstanding fireworks display, complemented by belting music (could sometimes do without The Who though), and quotes from a number of people who made big speeches at the time (regardless of their political persuasion).

Well done again London and all involved.

And done with a sense of humour the OP seems to lack.

Nope.

I thought the London display was fantastic. Ever since that embarrassing debacle that was the millennium 'display' the London New Year effort has just got better and better. Adding music was genius. This time around though topped the lot for me. The quotes were spot on and blended beautifully into a cracking soundtrack and the fireworks themselves were outstanding, timed and varied to perfection IMO.
