What happened in the UK in 1998?

Here's what's most fun, sport, and titles in 1998 ...

Politically, there has been real progress in Northern Ireland when, after 30 years of violence and nearly two years of intensive peace talks, an agreement was reached. The Good Friday Agreement ", as it was called together for a future of friendship and harmony, and led to British Prime Minister Tony Blair and leaders of the Republic of Ireland, Bertie Ahern, received praise from all corners.

L 'much talked about "Human Rights Act received Royal Assent, which means that the British government had, in accordance with the European Convention of Human Rights fall. Among others, there was a legal right to life, fair trial and freedom of expression, prohibition of discrimination, torture and the death penalty. Some saw it as essential for a civilized society, while others considered it to be even more troubling the European bureaucracy.

Another arrival in Europe has led to debate of the 43rd Euro Vision SongContest. This year's competition was held in Birmingham and hopes for the United Kingdom and their song Imaan high entry "Where Are You?". It took a 2nd place behind Israel Admiral participants, male-female transsexual Dana International. The winner moved to mount a large post-race publicity, then reminds everyone that it was only the Euro Vision Song Contest though. Imanni do recognize the fact, not even you, the name tells you everything you need to know about their music laterCareer.

The hope of the United Kingdom (or rather, the English part of it anyway) was the World Cup 98 in France. As always, the fans were hoping / praying / asking that this be the year in reality, and how to close forever, it went a bit 'wrong. England were the victims of the sanctions again (this time in Argentina) and a new face on the block David Beckham was the victim of his temperament. Once sent to a stupid football in one of the Argies, Beckham has been accused of everything and was hated byall (including, probably, Victoria).

I have no doubt that Jim, Barbara, Anthony, Dave and Denise, of Royle Family would be the only World Cup from the comfort of your couch, in their council house in Manchester. Who would have thought that a TV show about other people watching TV would be such a success? In fact, they did not just watch TV, but also the smoke of cigarettes, cups of TV and broke wind! It is not certain that Jim Royle would have been struck with American cultImport 'South Park', but the rest of the British was certainly in it, "Who Killed Kenny" millions of votes every week to see (many more may have voted to find out who had killed Beckham!)

The film saw a swing back to America to the great success of 'years that no major British films since 1998. The bloody "Saving Private Ryan" was a hit the second World War with Tom Hanks, history, and a group of soldiers with orders to bring home safely a private James RyanMother, whose other three children were killed. Much less bloody and more singing and dancing was the re-release of "Grease." The high school love story returns to the big screen 20 years after the original version (this time with improved color and digital sound).
