Somebody pointed out yesterday in the office that the Millenium happened nearly ten years ago.
What.The.Fuck?
Where did that go? Have I spent half of it in a drug induced coma and everyone I know has neglected to tell me?
But what I can't quite understand is, as the first ten years of this century come screaming to an end, that nobody has come up with a better name for this decade than the 'Noughties.'
The Noughties.
Really.
It conjures up images of Uncle Quentin, Aunt Fanny and George's dog Timmy.
Giddy up.

God (or Allah) it sucks getting older!

Whoops...slightly off topic.
As for the Noughties, yeah thanks for NOT putting too much thought into the moniker, guys, gals...... whomever should be blamed (the "In Crowd" is my prime suspect at the mo).
But then does anyone have anything better? I came up with the Apathetic Double O's but then I couldn't be arsed thinking of something better!
I named them the Noughties back in 1998, sorry. But I was going to call the next decade the Teenies.What do you think?
Yeah, but the teenties are coming up, and that's not a whole lot better.
Then I had to Google them, because I don't remember her name being Aunt Fanny.
But it was...
XChequer, remember when summers were really lllllloooooooooonnnnngggggggggggggggggggg
and really hot ? Christmas holidays seemed about six months long?
So we can look forward to the Teenies followed by the Teenties? Seeya, I'm heading back to the Twenties. Now, if only I could locate my time machine.
