Depends whether you're British or American really. Technically, the Japs had been at war since the early thirties...thebish wrote:precisely - nail on head...Dujon wrote:To me the spoken version 'twenty ten' is consistent with other years. As a general rule I will say 'nineteen ten' for 1910 and 'eighteen ten' for 1810 when referring to years. Likewise last year, 2009, was always 'twenty owe nine' and 1909 was 'nineteen owe nine'.
Was the year of our Lord 1066 ever referred to as 'one thousand and sixty six'?
when did WW2 start... one thousand nine hundred and thirty nine???
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

Taxi drivers.
Wife and daughter went shopping, picked me up after the match, me not in very good mood. Went down to my daughters,had tea, nice meal, wine and coffee and brandy etc, gabbed.( Knew we'd be late home so took the dog with us) All fine. Daft Wii game came out (dancing around to "Who let the dogs out, Kylie la-lahing, Iwant to move it-move-, Pump up the jam etc etc not really my scene). Went on too long and at 2-25 I rang a taxi, explained we had a little dog with us who'd sit on the floor. Rang up after half an hour, no drivers available to take a dog. Rang a well-known Bolton firm who said he'd fix us up. Twenty five minutes later he rang to say out of twelve drivers on shift only one would take a dog and he was currently heading for Ramsbottom. Rang a Farnworth firm who said no problem, they'd send somebody down. A further half hour later rang them again and was told "He's on his way now; five minutes". Twenty minutes later a miserable looking individual turned up and informed us surlily to "Make sure he stays on the floor". We finally got home at twenty to five this morning.
Daughter wanted us to stay over but I like my own bed and didn't want to be down there till lunch hour today. I agree fully that you don't want dogs on seats and we stated he'd stay on the floor (Shitzu's are hardly St Bernards at best). We finally came home in a mini bus. From now on we'll sleep over or stay home if we're going to be out a while. I never complain at the fares and two pensioners and a little dog are hardly pxxxed up yobs, so taxi drivers are off the Christmas list for sure.
Taxi "service"? Pah.

There's more than enough dog walkers round Enty that don't give a stuff!!! I'd drown them and their dogs.William the White wrote:some pleasant frozen dog turds on the entwistle reservoir path yesterday... nice, considerate owners, obviously...
Oh while I'm on one I love the Chritmas decor on the trees, really does look good but ffs why don't folk go and remove it after Christmas 'cause then it's just litter.
