[@FermaTech]

I'd forgotten about this era. My memories go up until 2002 when I left school then start again about 2010 when I got married. From what I do remember this was hangover TV before going back out again the next night in that window when you could still smoke in pubs and clubs and when you woke up half the hangover was from the Lambert and Butler or Marlboro Lights if you thought you were cool (Lucky Strikes if you actually were...). Even though it was Popworld it was heavily weighted towards guys with guitars who wanted to be Joy Division and called themselves Pop out of irony. Most nightclubs you'd go to it'd be R&B club music like Usher. I'd like to say I miss these days, but I don't (genuinely I was a functioning alcoholic, I stopped drinking and smoking in 2009 and never looked back).
