Watching London has fallen. I fall into bed myself after it
In June 1999 I joined a commune of fellow Y2k phobes in far west cork. I paid 20k IR Ā£ for part of the action . We acquired land , cows , Bulls , chickens , roosters, planted crops and kept all our money under our beds. We bought a trawler and nets . We sought a sustainable future that did not involve IT.
It was a falshish alarm but I had 6 months peace of mind. I went for a few pints in Castletownbere on NYE .

Only one hour and a bit for me
Iām supposed to be going to a party.
Unfortunately itās a 40th birthday party in a pub, as opposed to a student or young professionals party involving drugs and attractive, loose women.
I donāt like parties any more and I donāt particularly like drinking in a pub any more, at least without a proper excuse, and I donāt consider this a proper excuse.
While Iāve already had a shite and a shower Iām not overly fussed about getting out of the house before 10:30pm and am sipping a can of Bavaria and hoping to get into a nasty, personal and long drawn out conversation about terrorism and/or western foreign policy over the next hour.

Thereās a hilarious story about the hilarious millennium bug-inspired bantz I got up to on the morning of January 1st, 2000, but Iāve probably already told the story twice over the last 8 and a half years on this forum, so Iām not telling it again.
This never happened, just another excuse for a long rambling aimless post.
Itās happening right now.

Clive James used to do a fine New Yearās Eve show on BBC 1. It was a combination of a recap of the main events of the year, month by month, his dry acerbic wit, and a celebrity superstar performance straight after Big Ben rang in the new year.
I specifically remember Kylie Minogue appearing on stage in all her glory to sing I Should Be So Lucky a couple of minutes into 1990.
At the same time on RTE, they were broadcasting the following.
Iād nearly stay in if television like this was being broadcast tonight.

It really is astounding how useless pieces of information stick in my brain to such an extent. Itās exactly how I remembered it. Magnificent stuff.
And with added Jerry Hall.
Which one are you?
Which six are you?
I am stewing on that one . Not sure .
Iām the opposite of all of those, as you well know.
