There are people who believe that the world ended on December 31, 1999, but everyone was too drunk to notice.

I had to work New Years Eve Dec 1999 for that very reason. When Australia didn't go dark, we knew we could relax. What we couldn't do is get back the money we paid to fix a problem that in hindsight, was grossly overstated.

I also had to work that day. I was driving to the UK from southern Spain, and figured I could maybe get as far as Poitiers before the French government closed the roads down. Trucks are not allowed to run in France on Sundays or holidays. One of the main venues for the millennium celebrations in France was at Futuroscope in Poitiers, so that is where I intended to be. Unfortunately, I was held up and ran out of time in a tiny village called Maisons Blanches, so that is where I spent the millennium, on a deserted truckstop, while the rest of the world went nuts.

Oh, yes. I was with another driver who was, to say the least, unprepared for the eventuality of being stuck with no facilities. I had three large cardboard boxes under the bunk of my DAF. Two were filled with food, and the other was full of various favors of rotgut. I also had a two burner propane stove.

We partied.

Do you have any suspicions that someone might be having you on??

Nobody's having anybody on. It's the real deal.
Here's the money shot.
