Party like it’s 1999

[Suranjeep]

This Christmas and New year.

Let’s do this ting.

God, 1999 was brilliant. I mean, truly, utterly, brilliant. The year 2000. Threat of the millennium bug. Pulp. Cheap nights out. Street parties on NYE. A Labour government, raring to go.

I'm in!

It was a strange time but good fun

Are you actually suggesting people pay no attention to covid or is there some kind of joke I’m missing?

Yup, I’m in!

Ah yeh, best time ever. Student at Salford uni, the millennium bug, drinking diamond white and kissing randoms. Fab times.

I was 9 then. But I'll be partying. Work Christmas party tomorrow!

One of the best nights of my life. Thanks for the happy memory OP!

In!!

@GoldenOmber

Hair mascara!!! All the snogging! All the happiness!

@GoldenOmber

I'd completely forgotten about hair mascara!

Someone had gifted my boyfriend a very generous amount of 'Peruvian Flake', way too strong for my then 24 year old lightweight self. Feel sick at just the thought of it!

Diet Coke is about the strongest stuff I ingest these days so I'll pass on the 1999 party.

I was a week from giving birth then. No partying for me!

I was stuck at home ill.😂

Pass my silver dress.
I’m in !

Oh poor you...I got flu in that year's epidemic too, but luckily it was early in the season.

Badnight I had a gold dress! Nearly wore a red one. I was a size 8.

Oh my god, the nostalgia is overwhelming!

Re Millennium Bug, had to travel on 4th Jan and there was a computer glitch at LHR and we thought the preventative stuff had failed 4 days in....which probably makes no sense!

@Badnightguaranteed - I wore a silver hologram dress. I felt fabulous

I was okay on the evening and saw in the bells with my mum so I remember it rather fondly. Fireworks going off around the neighborhood.🎇

Starts tomorrow for me with my work Xmas do and then it's going to be a mess of partying! Shame I have to work til Xmas eve but that won't stop me 🎄🍾

I was out partying but sober as on call. I bought a mobile phone specifically so I could go out as prior to that if on call you were expected to stay at home….I think I maybe had a pager. Then the phone system crashed at midnight as so many people ringing each other it couldn’t cope!

Pass my silver dress

Or sparkly strappy top with boot cut jeans and heels or was that more early 00s?

Are work do's still happening? Most places I know have cancelled them or just don't have enough staff willing to go to make it worthwhile

Bore right off

Metallic dresses. I was so normally thin in 1999. Sigh. If I out a metallic skin tight dress in tonight my husband would ask why is dressed as the Christmas turkey! (I had just started seeing him in 1999! We've been married 20 years. Top bloke)

No we should all pay a lot of attention to covid. After all, it’s well known that covid will make you take your clothes off and go dancing in the rain, she’ll make you live her crazy life but she’ll take away your pain, like a bullet to your braaaaaiiin…
