FFS Is it the end of the decade already?!

No fucking way

I never really got to grips with the noughties

Not yet, another 31 days to go.

Yeah, i hadn't given it that much thought either.

Do you know how much Im going to have to cram in to those 31 days to avoid this decade being a write off

I bet you avoid it all.

a shag or two for a start?

Kind of you to offer

You'd be doing me a massive favour mate

i'm not offering, i was asking if that's the sort of thing he meant

I think Urban should set up an orgy for those of us who missed out on completing our quota of hot hot sex this decade.

Actually, a pedant writes, there's still another year to go. There never having been a Year Zero (outside of Pol Pot), this decade started on January 1st, 2001, and the next will start on January 1st, 2011.
I'll get me coat...

belushi and thedave will have another sexless year before the decade ends then.

I'd say I've done quite well considering I was below the age of consent for the first few years of it.

It's going to have a worse name than the noughties, isn't it

Shit, it IS the end of the decade...i've done fuck all...where does the time go...still 30 days though...aaaargghhhh where's that list of things to do!!

The ten's?

Tenners.

I think you'll find there's another 396 days to go.

You think wrong.

I think there's 10 years in a decade.

This time 10 years ago, were you one of those people going around telling everybody the new millennium was still more than a year away?

I does 0 - 9, inclusive.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decade

A decade. A period of ten years. The first decade, AD, would span the first 10 years, AD. That would be from the year 1 to the year 10. The second decade started with year 11.

Would you like it explained in crayon?

Has the millennium bug started yet or was that bird flu?

The Tenners are going to be awesome, cancer will be cured (the NHS will refuse to treat smokers though), life expectancy will go up 100 percent (except in Burnley), artists will pay you to listen to their music on the internet, and Greggs will invent a biometric fudge doughnut that goes through your oesophagus eating other food and excreting itself with it.

Yes, but "The term usually refers to a period of ten years starting with 0 and ending in 9."

Indeed.

Count your fingers. Start with the thumb on your left hand. That is number one. Now continue until finger ten. Is that the tenth finger, or the first toe?
