What do we call this year?

[Crasher]

Do we call it "twenty ten" or "two thousand and ten" or don't you mind which is used?

[Col]

I think the decade nickname is far more tricky.

00's
??
20's
30's
etc
etc

What should it be called?

Tweenies?
Teenies?
Tens?

[Crasher]

Yes that is a difficult one, I never liked the noughtis thing.

[paul b]

No preference.

And "tens".

[andy e]

this might sound geeky so forgive me but the calendar started in the year ad1 so in theory the decade starts in the year 2011, so what do we call the next decade the elevenses yes i am drinking whisky as i write this, a nice 15 year old glenfiddich 1/2 bottle to go

Nearly finished 1/2 a bottle of Pata Negra (red) and 3/4 of the way down a bottle of Palo Alto (red) and the a bottle of Glenmorangie chilled in the fridge to serve straight (no ice/no water) when this bottle of red is dead. God my head will hurt in the morning...what the hell, it aint a school day.

Crasher, balls to it, you probably talk more sense on here with a bottle or 2 down you than most do sober!
