My Y2K: 1999/2000 Andrew Hodges
|
Maybe the millennium only begins sometime on 25 March 2001, two thousand years after the christian god was conceived, but it's much more fun to see the 1 changing to a 2.
From Canary Wharf, 31 December 1999...
 I'm with my friends John Dave and Colin in Old Compton Street, London. | 
We went out to Docklands on the new Jubilee Line. This is Canary Wharf station. |
|
The millennium dome is naff and bankrupt but the Jubliee line is cool. I think the new deep Westminster station is the best. | |

Mark (left) and I (right) ponder the deep spiritual meaning of the Y2K bug, on the roof of Colin's flat in Soho. Mark and Colin are responsible for hosting this website so I hope they have got it right. |
| Luckily we are not celebrities. So we don't have to wait in line for hours with lots of other celebrities, to be security-searched and trapped in the tacky Dome. Instead we walk across the West End to join the crowds by the river. Here we are on Blackfriars Bridge in the middle of the River of Fire. | |

Then back to the darkness. On January 31 I was in Oxford on a candle-lit vigil against Section 28. Lots of students from LGBsoc around. The crowd was resisting the movement of this Stagecoach bus because the christian owners of the Stagecoach company are putting their money into keeping this bishop-backed homophobic law in operation. A thousand more years of this — what an appalling prospect. |
