Take me back to November 5, 2000

Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

The date is November 5, 2000, and it's a Sunday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Scorpio. People are currently enjoying their weekend. However, because it's a Sunday, some are dreading the week ahead.

It's November, so the evenings are getting darker and the days are getting colder. In America, the song "Come On Over Baby" by Christina Aguilera is at the top of the singles charts, while "Stomp" by Steps is the number-one song in the UK. Bill Clinton is the President of the United States, and the movie Meet the Parents is at the top of the box office.

Tony Blair is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. On television, people are watching popular shows such as "ER", "Xena: Warrior Princess", "King of the Hill", and "Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place". A relatively new form of communication called "text messaging" is becoming more widespread. Although the technology has been around since the mid-1990s, it was only recently that cell providers allowed users to send SMS messages to people on different networks.

In technology news, more and more music companies are beginning to release MP3 players. The new MP3 format means that music listeners are able to listen to multiple albums on the go. It's the year 2000, so the music charts are being dominated by the likes of Christina Aguilera, Faith Hill, Savage Garden, Destiny's Child, Santana, Sisqó, Creed, Aaliyah and Enrique Iglesias. Meanwhile, the Nokia 3310 is one of the most popular cellphones on the market at the moment. Stores across the world are currently selling a wide range of custom covers for the phone.

Sony have just released the PlayStation 2 video games console. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Kirsty MacColl, Dale Earnhardt, Jennifer Syme, and Joey Ramone would all still be alive. People are playing video games such as "Mario Golf", "Medal of Honor", "Syphon Filter 2", and "Final Fantasy IX".

Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "7th Heaven", "Roswell", "100 Deeds for Eddie McDowd", and "Static Shock". Children are playing with toys such as Fisher Price Chatter Phone, Star Wars Phantom Menace figures, Amazing Ally, and WWF action figures.
