Noughty Influence?

[Jade]

Another decade over, another to come

who had the most influence over you during the noughties?

Who impressed, who distressed?

[lark descending]

Sadly,I can think of only the things that distressed.. will try to return in a more positive frame of mind!

Okay -

I'm impressed by the soldiers who have returned without limbs from war zones, and are now working hard to win medals for Britain in the Paralympics.

Distressed by the politiciams who sent them there.

why is everyone in such a muddle?

the decade will be over at the close of 2010.

[jean]

Not if it began at the opening of 2000.

but in the West we traditionally count from 1 A.D., don't we?

i suppose it's a bit like the metric/imperial measures - some of us can't let go of the old ways!

[jamesjosh]

Oh no not the argument over when a decade starts ends/begins;)

I am not sure anyone has impressed or distressed me much. I think there are just as many boring fools in 2009 as there were in 2000. Put on the 24 hours news channels and hear the same cliche tabloid nonsense.

Of course - but the squeals of protest were silenced and the New Millennium celebrations went ahead exactly ten years ago anyway.

So we've had ten years of it & now it is time for a new decade, for those who care about that sort of thing.

For the QUEEN

Quo impressed (OBEs)

MPs distressed (bgrall)

for GQ - Brown distressed, Cameron impressed (worst and best dressed men respectively!)

[aubrey]

That's gq for you, though - the editor's half way up Cameron's arse.
