BLACKEN · 15-03-2010 10:17AM

i went to london to see my fathers family! it was quite gud considering i was ten! i remember everyone from the party we had in my nan's house pouring out into the street! then seeing a random car drive by and thinking to myself how sad they must have been to be in a car for the countdown!lol

Was at some holiday homes down in Kerry with loads of my family and watched the last sunset of the millennium in Europe somewhere on the coast.

Can't remember the actual countdown but the next day a friend of my uncles brought us flying in the 4 seater plane he had down at Farranfore, it was the coolest thing I had ever experienced at the time!

Intothesea · 15-03-2010 10:37AM

In Limerick finishing up some big-deal coursework/project. Most of the night on the floor wrestling with a stubborn printer and hyperactive mobile block. Heady times.

NothingMan · 15-03-2010 10:52AM

Had a house party myself. I was 14 but my friends were all about 15-18 so good times were had by all. No alcohol but remember being in my front garden at midnight dancing & singing with my mates. My road always went mental at midnight banging pots & pans and all the kids running wild, some parents let off some fireworks then they all disappeared into one neighbours house to drink and we kept our party going.

Biggest non event in history, got paid a small fortune to stay away from overpriced night clubs in case I had to don my super hero outfit & save the world from the Y2K bug:D

thetonynator · 15-03-2010 10:59AM

i was . . .young at the time and went to bed, but then got up at half 11 and ate a massive box of liquorice all sorts and then felt sick and went to bed. I havent eaten liquorice since!!!

seamus · 15-03-2010 11:02AM

Was in an enormous house in Shankill at a house party. About 30 people there, all off their faces. Everyone was underage, but the parents were away. We'd brought about 6 litres of various alcohols between 4 of us. We were supposed to be staying the night, but the girls parents came home about 1am, went ballistic and kicked everyone out.

So we walked on up the N11, drinking whiskey, tequila and schnapps from the bottles to keep the cold out. Nearly got to Stillorgan before we bothered to hail a cab.

Good times.

biko · 15-03-2010 11:12AM

I was with friends at the square in town, drinking bubbly and smoking cigars.

rainbowtrout · 15-03-2010 11:21AM

I was at home ignoring the fact that it was New Year's Eve cos they usually tend to be over-rated. My mother was nagging me to have a drink, so eventually to shut her up, I did. Two hours later I had drunk a bottle of vodka and 6 cans of red bull. Don't remember anything after that. Nothing was said the next morning and I was dying. Six months later it came up in conversation with my brother, who reliably informed me that mam and dad had to hold my hair back while I threw up in the kitchen sink over and over and then had to put me to bed. It's probably one they're not likely to forget either.

arybvtcw0eolkf · 15-03-2010 11:32AM

I was working on the door at Fitzsimons, Templebar & having the craic.

Given that it was the millenium I was going to take the night off, but I was offered crazy money to work so worked.

sorrywhat · 15-03-2010 11:39AM

I went to a party with my parents. I was 13. I was trying to convince my older cousins to get me a bottle of beer. I had 2 of them and puked up all the cocktail sausages I had eaten. Was in bed before the countdown.

Noffles · 15-03-2010 11:40AM

Worked till 22:00 for INSANE money, good old millennium bug fears... then went up to Howth to watch fireworks... with missus. Back in next morning at 08:00.

Mars Bar · 15-03-2010 11:42AM

Had a party in my Gran's house. Loads of balloons and millennium hats. Then when the clock struck twelve, my dad and my uncle burst loads of the balloons with the Guinness cans and it had my sister in tears!

That was a good night!

toiletduck · 15-03-2010 12:52PM

I rang it in playing Thief: The Dark Project. Yeah I was and still am that cool.

no1beemerfan · 15-03-2010 12:53PM

At the aul fella's home place (a farm). We all had shotguns so all fired them at midnight (6 or 7 of us there).

And then started our cars to make sure they'd work! :rolleyes:

Smart Bug · 15-03-2010 01:06PM

I was at a house party on Rathgar Road in Rathmines, some of my dudes were living there at the time. Big old Georgian house with all the flats open for the night, everyone roaming around.

I had fashioned a primitive hash-pipe from an empty beer can and I was wandering around cradling it like a baby in my arms. That is the only memory of that night I still posess and oddly the image in my head is in the third person.

MaybeLogic · 15-03-2010 01:09PM

On a lock, with friends, in a pub on Parnell St. (in town) with open access to the bar.

Chairman Meow · 15-03-2010 01:59PM

31st of December, 1999? Cant remember. The one in 1899 tho, that **** was off the hook.

sidneykidney · 15-03-2010 04:55PM

Catari Jaguar · 15-03-2010 05:24PM

Aged 15 - Wandering around an estate in Raheny with my cousin, in the cold wearing our sparkley party (slut) dresses & heels looking for some kids our age to bring us to a free gaff or at least to go drinking in a field with us. We had stolen a can of beer (between us!) from her parents shed. Rock and/or Roll... :rolleyes:

hidinginthebush · 15-03-2010 06:24PM

I was 16 and getting sick outside my back garden at the stroke of 12 :cool:

I was allowed to stay up and expecting to world to end with the Y2K thing.

I remember all my family after the countdown just sitting around waiting for something to happen, then nothing did and everyone wsa like 'WHEEEEYYYYY' and started hugging and kissing each other.

I was sent to bed 10 minutes later :mad:

Fizman · 15-03-2010 06:28PM

I partied like it was 1969. (My favourite year

)

CianRyan · 15-03-2010 06:57PM

Cousins house in Cork.
I was only 9 at the time and barely remember a moment of it.

Ostrom · 15-03-2010 07:05PM

Working in a ****ty country pub, sitting on a barstool in the kitchen exhausted eating peanuts with the other barmen. Stopped serving at 11:30 and went for a break, didn't realize the moment had passed
