6, 16, 17!

6. When did you get your first cell phone? What was it like? (Did it have a screen? Could you text? Was it a brick or flip?)

I was a fairly late adopter of mobile phones, I didn’t get one till 2002 I think, when I was 20/21. It was the standard of the day, the good old Nokia 3310. 

16. How did you spend New Year’s Eve 1999/2000? 

I don’t even remember. I think I wanted to spend it with my boyfriend, my mum wanted me to spend it with her, I think I possibly spent the first part with him and then with my mum but I’ve zero recollection what we did. It was probably tense and fraught like everything at that time of my life lol. 

17. 

What’s the oldest article of clothing you still wear?

I’ve got a dress I got from New Look when New Look was a new shop, and I must’ve had it at least 20 years cos I’m pretty sure I bought it with my dad, and he’s been dead 18 years. Everyone always says what a nice dress it is too lol.

& the worst part about brazil 2008 was that lewis said (YEARS LATER) that he felt like he “didn’t enjoy” winning the championship

like gee

i wonder who….. might have enjoyed it….. just a little bit

I’m so glad I’m bringing back salt about Brazil ‘08 you can all suffer with me.

Not to mention that without Crashgate Felipe would have very likely become the champion (debatable, but I’d say that was the most likely scenario). Imagine his career if he was Ferrari’s latest champion. Yeah, gotta admire Felipe for not strangling everyone involved.
