i like him too but he's still a git. i didn't say i wasn't a git.
That's not how it works ![]()
This is not a democracy.
Besides, there's two of us and only one of you.
So he's a git and we're not ![]()
You can be not too if you want. Otherwise you are.
Time is running out for us all, Rocket Mick.
They give birth astride of a grave, the light gleams an instant, then it's night once more.
No, they work for 'em too.
I like Morley, the naughties has been used for ages, you're so nineties.
To clarify I have seen it in print, but never heard anyone actually say it out loud.
I like Morely too, mostly, but I still feel sure that git is one of the nicest things that anyone has ever said about him.

Yup. Noughties with an 'o'. Shirley last seen around 2001 though? Never really caught on, did it?
It didn't really catch on with the 1900s. I've always put this down to the fact that it sounds shit.
This was confirmed when Paul Morley said it on Richard and Judy yesterday. Even he cringed a bit as he said it.
I'm going to leather the next person I hear say it.
I agree it's cringeworthyly naff
So What are everyone's suggestions for a name for this decade?
