With this logic, the 1990 World Cup was in the 80s then?

 

Ha bloody Ha..........

 

Programatically, if I set an array for days of the week and change the day depending numeric addition, I would use

n=0 to 6 to represent the array of {"Monday","Tuesday", "Wednesday","Thursday", "Friday", Saturday", "Sunday"}

If the number returned is 0 then that is Monday, if it is 5 it is Saturday and so on.

On Servers the first Hard Disk Drive (HDD) is HDD0 the second HDD1 and so on.

From 1st Jan 2010 00:00:00 to 31st December 2010 23:59:59 was the first time this sphere we live completed one fill orbit around that star in the middle. Give or take the actual 3 minutes and 56 seconds per day less than 24 hours it takes to rotate once on our own axis.

 

Nope. You're not getting it.

EDIT: Just to help. It's the same logic that puts 1990 in the 20th century.

 

I can't. He went to Tottenham with Poch.

When we were children we used to count to ten by starting with one but when we reached ten only nine seconds had elapsed.

 

That’s because it’s the 20th century and that year falls within it.

1990 is the first year of the 90s.

 

This could go on for ever

 

Or for a decade at least.

 

Whenever the decade finishes...

 

End of the year

 

Or starts...

 

Indeed it is. So where is the confusion?

 

Met Danny Ings yesterday, down to earth chap.

Obviously I got a shameless photo with the man.

 

The 1st Century ended with the year 100, just as the 20th Century ended with the year 2000. It’s very simple.

 

A decade ago simply means 10 years ago. The year you are in counts as year one.

Edit now the argument will start agin....

 

Exactly.

EDIT: Ah, I see I might appear to be flip-flopping here. The above here is correct. Hence my original post which talked about the year in completion.

 

Ok, I’ve got it... so at 11pm tonight it is actually tomorrow....

 

Actually, you're not getting it.
You remember I mentioned that space between 0 and 1? That's important. So, using your favourite year of 1990. In the year 1989 and 6 months, we in the 1990th year. And when we get to the end of that year it will be 1990. In the same way, when we are on the way to 2000, we are in the 20th century. When 1999 turns into 2000, that's the 20th century completed. The first time period after that is the 21st century. So 01/01/00 starts our time in the 21st century.

You know what? I go away and do something totally different. [I've just fixed a hi-fi loud speaker bass unit!] And every time I come back to this for a bit of light relief I have to get my head right to make sure I'm saying it right. I think I'm clear at this point.
Wish I had some gin to go with this lovely orange I'm drinking. Oh well.

 

I was taking the pee!!

 

Well music to me changed in 1989 with Black Box and Ride on Time. That was the end of the 80s, so anything after that was the 90s for me.
