Where were you on New Years Eve 1999?

I was at a rather forgetful house party that probably didnt fit the title of "celebration of the millennium"

Standing on Circular Quay in Sydney watching a really cool firework display. So there!

PizzamanIRL

I was at home. House party full of my mother's friends. I remember getting some sort of lap dance from her wild 40+ year old friend on the couch.

I was 11. Good craic.

Shenshen

Montreal, watching fireworks on the mountain.

Rothko

At home watching TV. I was only 10 so that's my excuse.

In my parents house with all the family, waiting for aliens to fall from the sky!

I don't think he was accusing you of anything.

I was 14 and all my siblings - older and younger - were out enjoying the parade and sparklers and some sort of drink. I was at home with a tummy bug. Still bugs me...

That's exactly where I was.. it was ****

Miss Lockhart

In a friend's house getting horribly drunk. I remember wandering around the estate talking nonsense to other drunk people. I had to work at 8am the next day - I was sick and it was awful.

I was nine, at a small party. My parents' friend had this toy where there was a white plasticky screen and then someone pressed a button on this remote thingamajig and there was a big flash and the shadowy imprint of whatever was in front of the screen would appear. Mad craic, and my lasting memory of the night, haven't even a vague recollection of the countdown.

I was somewhere in France. I was 10. My Dad was playing a gig and my cousin and I were Irish dancing for it! It was very exciting because there was a live webcam feed on the internet, which was kinda new those days. In France anyway. Was sh*te quality I'd say.

candy-gal1

I was 13, family party at my aunties house with kareoke - I remember singing http://youtu.be/mM0-ZU8njdo or something like that with my cousin, and we all went outside for the countdown, joined hands and sang the Auld Lang Syne, oh and had my first glass of champagne followed by a few glasses of bucks fizz

I was about 16, and I was alone that night watching TV. I think the rest of my family had gone to relatives.

On a beach on the small island of Koh Tao, Thailand.

zcorpian88

At home overdosing on the left over Christmas Pepsi which I was addicted to then...I was 11 then, no pub for me!

Teyla Emmagan

In Ed's folk's place in Castleknock. We watched Ben Dunne's fireworks down the road. His brother got sick and the dog ate it and at 12 we danced to the Sex Pistols.

I had a fairy princess outfit on and we all slept on the floor.

ProudDUB

In my Atlanta apartment with my mammy. She had come over to the US to spend her first Xmas since my Dad died, with my sister and I. Fairly low key evening as New Years go, but it was the last New Years Eve I ever spent with her, so the memory is pretty special.

D1stant

I was skydiving over the Ailsbury plain. It was boring. At 10,000 feet up I realised that Stonehenge was not actually an inter-dimensional computer but rather a collection of very large hard rocks.

alchemist33

The pier in Clontarf, watching the distant fireworks. The next day, driving to Donegal, I killed a pheasant in a road traffic accident.

At home, where we had a party. I spent most of the evening trying to dodge the inappropriate, rubbing himself against me, 'hugs' of some old guy one of my mothers friends had brought along. I was 12, almost 13.
