It’s logical that the new century begins at midnight on December 31, 2000. Because there is no year 0. It goes from 1 B.C. straight to 1 A.D. (or A.D. 1 if you’re a stickler).

I have looked up “turn of the century” everywhere and nobody seems to know which century is turning, the old one or the new one. I would vote for the old one, like a page in a calendar being turned. But I can’t find it anywhere.

I guess it is all good....
Like on a birthday.
Someone says ‘I am a year older today’
“Yes, that may be so but actually you are only a day older than your were yesterday”

Everybody likes a little arse but not everyone likes a smart arse...or, like we used to say ‘Sexual Intellectual’ <: <: <:

Like ‘they’ say about old age...

Don’t fight old age, it is a privilege that not all get to enjoy.
I seriously never expected to see 30 so I am in my 48th year of ‘bonus’ time...
