Where were you when the new millennium started?



When 1999 went to 2000, I was on Parker's Piece in Cambridge watching fireworks erupt over the glorious piece of architecture that is Parkside swimming pool. 2001 - honestly no clue, a party somewhere is my guess but not sure where.
 
I feel like I've been sold a millennium dud.
In years to come my kids will ask me all about the millennium celebrations and I'll be like "I haven't got a clue mate, but I'll tell you about 2000".
Slightly wounded, but mainly amazed by the revelation.
 
Lying in bed with my missus and two year old daughter next to us in her cot talking about how We would spend the rest of our lives together and we made love at the stroke of midnight and it was at that moment I knew that we would be together forever, and I was the big strong paratrooper who’s daughter would grow up to be so so proud of, maybe do little talks in her school about army life.
She left me 14 month later for a surveyor and we have not spoke since.
