Where/How did you celebrate the millenium (31st of December, 1999)?

I was in a nightclub, and at 1 minute to 12 the music the DJ was playing, stopped, and there was no music for the Millenium. It was like something from Fr Ted.
Where was everyone for the Millenium, or how did you celebrate it?

I was in the saddle. (Asleep at 00:00:30)

Fago! · 14-03-2010 11:49PM

In bed. I was 9.

My turn, why weren't you inside someone at that moment OP?

in my friends house. We had a fancy dress party. It was the beginning of the end of going out on NYE. Brilliant night.

I seem to miss the countdown every year, I know I missed it then
Planted a couple of Oak trees the day after

I was in a nightclub with my friends hoping for music at 1 minute to 12 which didn't happen

I was partying like it was 1984.

I was somewhere in Dublin watching the fireworks among the crowds.

stovelid · 14-03-2010 11:52PM

Nightclub in Belfast.

Slow Show · 14-03-2010 11:53PM

I can't remember, I was five. I remember the Den were talking about this 'millenium' thing though...

Michellenman · 14-03-2010 11:55PM

Well considering I was 10/11 at that stage I can safely say I was hammered.

tman · 14-03-2010 11:55PM

At a rave in the middle of nowhere, absolutely off my chops on god knows what...
Good times!:D

Fago! · 14-03-2010 11:57PM

Off my chops.... Hahaha

Christ. I feel old reading this thread.

To answer the question, I was quaffing cheap champagne, puffing on fake cuban cigars and cheerfully awaiting the impending apocalypse.

MonkeyTennis · 14-03-2010 11:57PM

all the clubs were coming up with absolutely absurd prices for entry and when you factored in getting a taxi home etc it was just madness. Delighted the whole thing backfired on them

Sea Sharp · 14-03-2010 11:58PM

I was playing Goldeneye on my Nintendo 64 and drinking a bottle of Budweiser.

lynski · 14-03-2010 11:59PM

drinking champagne, watching fireworks on the roof of our apartment block, center of dublin, at a party we were hosting, looking into the eyes of man who is now my husband and saying 'i love you' for the first time. ahhh

Aridstarling · 14-03-2010 11:59PM

Nine years old and feeling a little under the weather in a marquee out the back of my neighbours house. All a bit dim at this point really.

Yep that was the case where I was. Paid a good more more than usual into the niteclub, drinks were nealry twice the price, there was about 30 people there for the night.....and there was no music at midnight.....a night I'll never forget :rolleyes:

livvy · 15-03-2010 12:01AM

Working in Dublin thinking this is a sh%t thing to tell my grandkids when they ask.

alwaysadub · 15-03-2010 12:04AM

I was at a house party. Didn't know half the people there,wasn't a great party and couldn't get drunk so went home bout ten past twelve to discover the party in my own house was buzzing!

I also feel old reading this thread :eek:

milomud · 15-03-2010 12:08AM

I was in New York - Time Square - watching a small crystal ball come down slowly on a pole on top of a tall building with about 2 million other people. It was crap but the party after was pretty good.

Bonito · 15-03-2010 12:11AM

Was in bed sneakily looking out my window watching the fireworks from a certain factory where I live that do fireworks every new year but went all out for the millenium.

df1985 · 15-03-2010 12:11AM

WindSock · 15-03-2010 12:12AM

Was there actually a fox though ?

pappyodaniel · 15-03-2010 12:13AM

At home, i knew it would be over-inflated and over crowded. And yes, after reading a few moderators comments informing us of their age during the Millenium I now feel old aswell. :eek:

bazmaiden · 15-03-2010 12:15AM

in my granny's pub but couldn't do anything too mad as all family were there and I was 13

The millenium ended on 31st December 2000, not 2001.
Did the first millenium begin in the year 0? Nope. It began in the year 1.

Where/How did you celebrate the millenium (31st of December, 1999)?
