Purveyor of fine nonsense
All-night underground parties.
Warehouse raves.
MDMA-zing! (allegedly!)
The birth of the internet.
The dot com bubble! (I was slightly too young to get rich quick though, damn it!)
Cheap house prices! (Again, I was slightly too young to get rich quick though, double damn it!)
Being able to get served at the age of 14 in most pubs because they didn't care about ID!
Being able to buy fags out of vending machines (all of which seem to have vanished now, not that I smoke any more anyway).
Music festivals were actually nice places to go (and not full of pissed-up lairy chavs like they are now).
Suspension forks and clipless pedals were excellent quality and possessed by the few.
One aspired to equipping one's bike with Shimano Deore DX!
The driving test was only 35 minutes and you didn't have to do any theory tests.
A clapped-out Ford Fiesta Mk1 was THE car of choice for the teenage hooligan!

I had the fiesta, but it wasn't clapped out, it went like the clappers.

the rest, i'm too young for - passed my driving test just before the hazard perception test was added.
