They were, therefore more than happy to commune down the Local and further reassured as Robbin' Get arrived sporting the same jumper for the 3rd consecutive New Year's Eve.
To kick off the celebrations the world's campest Redcoat arrived to crank up the enjoyment levels:
Although not all the Regulars were overjoyed to hear Billy Idle, the karaoke king, had been rebooked.
Thankfully this year's Lady Gaga rendition, with a particularly serious poker face, was far superior to the horrors of that of Ol' Blue Eyes during the previous festive season.
Although Buzz Lightyear, trusted landlord, did seem somewhat perturbed to see this year the old crooner had moved his attention to Marlene.
Tubthumper paid the utmost of attention as Spudgirl made his list of new year resolutions clear to him.
Whilst she herself tried hard with some last-minute smiling practice realising the bells would soon chime and she would be forced to pretend to like people for the first hour or so of the New Year.
Jordan showed her highest level of delight when one barrel ran dry and was replaced by her favourite ale.
And, thankfully, somebody finally came forward and agreed to duet with Billy.
Tattoo brought a degree of gravity to the proceedings.
Whilst with the observable effort put into his performance, the Regulars sincerely hoped that after his somewhat unsettled Christmas, the Manic Miner was, as proclaimed, truly 'solid again'.
A fabulous night was had by all then, as quickly as they came, the Regulars left again, terrified when time was called and they were ordered out by Marlene.
