Ha ha to those of you that were too young to celebrate Millenium!!
 
And when I say celebrate I mean properly. Generally anybody younger than 23 will not have celebrated properly, (so ha ha, you missed out on the biggest party in the world for a long long time)

and if you are younger than about 16/17 now, you won't even remember that much about millenium or 1999. (Tough luck guys you missed out on a lot!)


Just had to say how glad I was to be alive and old enough to remember 2 different milleniums.

pinkmichk 11-02-2009 07:30 PM

i'm the same age as you ben i remember it we had a huge party round a neighbours house and cos we lived on a hill just after midnight we watched all the fireworks from our town and the surrounding villages at the end of the road (as well as winding each other up about the milliemum bug)

Benjamin 11-02-2009 07:36 PM

The millenium bug. Ha, what a crock that was, but I remember everyone panicking about it so much. Ha ha.

HeatherTWx 11-02-2009 07:40 PM

How are you old enough to remember two? I'm pretty sure a millenium is every hundred years.

I remember going to a party we got invited to in our street and all the kids did like partygames haha then I remember the fireworks. It was our first year on the street lool.

Sam! 11-02-2009 07:53 PM

Everybody on here is old enough to live through two milleniums. They would have to be 11 not to?

Wildcat! 11-02-2009 07:54 PM

I had my first girlfriend in 1999, so I think I properly lived it! LOL1:love:
I know some people my age use to vow to have a girlfriend or kiss a girl before the end of the millenium!

Jen 11-02-2009 08:05 PM

I remember the party, its the one time my parents ever celebrated it. I remember the fireworks, but you are right I don't remember it that well. Do I care? No not really.

Z 11-02-2009 11:09 PM

I was 9 at the time, I was at home with my family, watching the TV, wondering if technology would stop working. Yay for false alarms!

BigSister 11-02-2009 11:48 PM

I remember the fireworks and running to check my computer as i was scared it would blow up lol

andyman 11-02-2009 11:56 PM

Ahhhh the pre-Big Brother years, true dark ages...

amby 12-02-2009 07:14 AM

I remember it.
I think I was like 8.

Sod_James 12-02-2009 09:36 AM

I was 13 and i remember it as clear as day. personally it was not that much of a big deal for me. just another year. even if i had been older it would have been very unlikely that i would have celebrated it differently to any other new years. just another day to me.

Fom 12-02-2009 09:49 AM

I actually remember the Millenium lottery draw, and it failed because of the bug! haha, anyone else remember that?

Oh Yeah. Life before Reality TV. And IPods, MP3 players and everyone having the internet.

Cassettes still existed as did videos, and they were still popular forms of entertainment, and not everyone had a mobile phone. God it seems so long ago.

Tom4784 12-02-2009 10:13 AM

I was 9, We had a joint Millenium and Birthday Party as my birthday's on New Year's day.

supernoodles! 12-02-2009 10:27 AM

I was 9,wasn`t all that really but i do remember having this STOOOOOPID white cuddly toy man thing with a black top hat on and you pressed its hand and it went 10 9 8 7 6 5 ...etc and the went happy new millenium then started vibrating and having a **** fit.

LOL yes!! And the millenum bug itself, everyone thought we'd be plunged into darkness and was counting down to a worse time, and some people braced themselves in the countdown :laugh3:

katie_x 12-02-2009 11:46 AM

I was 15, and it was a rubbish new year. My nye are always crappy :cloud:

Princess 12-02-2009 12:54 PM

I was 9,I remember someone had a huge party and there was this really huge box which I liked. And someone said they didn't like David Beckham(like a 10 year old boy) and I hit them over the head with those clapper things. Oh and I remember loads of fireworks. That was about it!
