I thought the London eye stuff was mind blowing. For once I wished I was was actually in the crowd ratherthan my normal grumpy old man stuff of staying in.
Darden, all of our New Year's best wishes for you and all of our wonderful friends on the "faraway" side of the big pond...
You give GiGi a kiss from me, and I'll give Pagan a kiss from you...
Chuck
I'm back. the party was crap. Happy @#$%ing New Year.
That's too bad, Kent.
Happy New Year, everyone!
c'est la guerre. at least I didn't shell out a lot of dough for some big shindig -- it was just the local pub was doing an event - but few of my gang were there - and some of the people that were there weren't who I particularly wanted to see.
And a Warm Happy New Year to All of Legion World from Abin and Pagan!
We've now caught up to our UK friends and joined them in 2006!
Abin! Happy New Year, you old sod!
Happy New Year everybody!
It's almost 2 AM here, near Detroit. The guests are gone, my parents have gone to bed too. I am the last one, behind my computer screen.
I had some calls from my family this afternoon (6 pm) when it was midnight in France.
A great evening, a great meal, 2006 is starting good.
See you later on Legion World.
Hope everyone had a good start to the New Year.
It's 3:15pm on the US west coast. Lots to do to prepare for tonight, so
HAPPY NEW YEAR LW!
I know I'm looking forward to a new year. Everyone give an extra big hug and kiss to those you love!
HAPPY NEW YEAR YOU SQUAJWADS I LOVE YA ALL!!!!!!!!!
Happy New Years. Now that the East coast has caught up to our friends across the pond.
I'm about an hour late, but HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
Happy New Year from AK! I wish you all the best!
Wishing everyone a wonderful 2010 and 3010!
For the contrarians, is there a New Year's version of Bah Humbug?
Happy New Year and New Decade (for those of us who count 0-9 as a decade)!
Have a Joyous New Year!
(Joy seems to be an inner quality and a little more stable and strengthening, which we all migt need this year.)

Of course it's
a decade. Any ten year period is a decade. So, actually, every year starts a new decade.
Happy New Year, everyone!
Happy New Year everyone!
Best wishes for good things in 2010!

Happy New Year, everyone![/b]To get technical, the decade of the "oh-ohs" (2000-2009) is over, but the first decade of the 21st Century (2001-2010) has another year. Semantics: They're not just people who can't get enough of
Bewitched!
And Happy Twenty Ten!
Exactly. And note that we much more naturally delineate the decades such as the 80s, 90s, 00s, etc. Nobody in ordinary contexts refers to the 210th decade, which of course doesn't start for another year.
With centuries we tend to think of them as the 19th, 20th, 21st centuries much more naturally, which leads to confusion, because these don't correspond to the 1800s, 1900s, 2000s.
1900 is the first year the 1900s, while it is the last year of the 19th century. 1901 begins the twentieth century, but it is the second years of the 1900s.
