I was actively suicidal then though not because of terrorism. So today is a bit better at least.

Oberleutnant posted:I've heard some old upper crust types with no sympathy for Labour and a lot of experience of politics talking endlessly about this election as a mirror of the 1974 snap election, which came a year after 1973 election (and just after Britain's entry into Europe), and was the tory party under Edward Heath trying to stamp their foot down and cement their rule rule by increasing their majority. Meanwhile Labour were off running a radical manifesto, and eventually won by a hair, forming the 1974-79 Labour ministry out of a hung parliament.

My favourite bit of 9/11 was some friends & I went down to Glasgow for a uni open day (we were 6th years then) on the 12th September 2001, mainly as an excuse for a day trip to Glasgow. All met up for the first train of the day, one friend was absolutely convinced Islamic terrorists would hijack a plane & fly it into our train, travelling through the middle of nowhere, Scotland at 60mph. He was making GBS threads it. I've always really cherished that memory for the sheer absurdity of it.

It's also the first general election where people born after the first Scottish and Welsh elections can vote. e: A group of my friends at the time were supposed to be visiting NYC on 9/11 and touring all the sights. I was worried sick trying to reach them, then found out after that they were stuck in Florida because one of them spent a chunk of their money on stupid poo poo. Saved by idiocy.

Guavanaut posted:It's also the first general election where people born after the first Scottish and Welsh elections can vote. I was at a trade show in Boston manning a booth for the company I worked for immediately before the attacks, then flew to Michigan to see my girlfriend of the time. The planes that were hijacked were flown out of Boston, so for a little bit while I was sound asleep in Michigan my parents didn't know if I might have been on one of those planes. The phone call when I called home and let them know I was safe is the only time I've ever heard my dad cry.

I was at school, the guy who was obsessed with terrorism and was going to go to Sandhurst* immediately went "It's Osama Bin Laden I guarantee!" and we sat around in the TV room watching it for the rest of the afternoon *He didn't because he decided to beat someone up on the last day of school and ruptured their spleen and had charges pressed; he's now a fixit man in London like you see in the televisions

I was working a lovely minimum wage job for Exeter county council in the records office. The woman opposite me took absolutely no interest at all even as it was all happening live on TV and didn't seem to think it was significant in any way and got a bit annoyed when I started talking about it because she wanted to get on with her filing.

I moved recently to this constituency https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brighton_Kemptown_(UK_Parliament_constituency) just before the election call, registered to vote shortly after election call and got no response either by email or post. Spent 20 mins hanging on the phone today to check if im sorted and I am apparently. I will be well narked off if I dont receive my ballot but the very nice man I spoke to told me that even without it I can go down there and my name will be on list. I did the online version so I dunno why I couldn't have had at least a 'it worked you git' email. I will be voting labour, there is a chance they might win, it was pretty close in 2015. e: Its actually a shame a bit because the current guy isnt a total oval office, apart from having 6 children which is just mental.

My guilty secret is my fascination with the Howard Stern show from america, they were live on air being silly as it happened in New York https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64zZaAbhtps Interestingly the man actually predicted it was Osama half way through the thing. e: its also interesting for the 'loving bomb kill them all!' reaction from the hosts which is basically what America did isn't it.

I heard about 9/11 in my mum's car after school, and then watched it on the telly when we got in. What was really traumatic was that our hamster had died as well. 2,996 human deaths + 1 hamster. RIP Steffen.
