Everyone of a certain age started wearing parkas, speaking with a Manc accent and began flicking the v's

It was my rest year. Had one baby the year before and one the year after. Couldn't do that again. Glad I'm old now.

I brought in the year seeing Ultrasonic at Hangar 13.

Later in the year I became pregnant with my first baby and moved town.

I just love the montego, and wetwetwet being listed as 'key events'. With that kind of loose definition, this thread has legs!

Windows 95 was in development

1994 was kind of a breakthrough year for me, in terms growing up anyway. I turned 8 that year (I'm a young'un

) and it was the year I first started following news events, sport on tv, and music (first year watching totps).

I remember the World cup that year, my first sporting tournament. That summer following the 93/94 season I then became a Man Utd fan.

Incidentally I don't remember Ayrton Sennas, Kurt Cobains or John Smith deaths. Possibly because I was still oblivious to some aspects of politics, rock music and F1. But I do remember the introduction to the national lottery, hah!

Ireland wins Eurovision for the 3rd time in a row and River Dance premièred

It was a pretty good year for me, it was great at Glastonbury that year (my second time, the first being in 1993) with a good set from Bjork. 1994 was also the year Star Trek TNG ended and the year Pulp Fiction came out.
