Only got a few minutes for this particular update - so I figured I would share something that’s been bugging me on the last few bus journey’s home:
- Sting (when he was with The Police) sang about how great it was being born in the “fifties”. (It’s probably these folks that remember most vividly what they were doing when President Kennedy died.)
- Many people are real proud to have been born in the “sixties”. (It’s probably these people who form the mainstay of today’s Swingers: Swinging Sixties and all that - yes? Get it?)
- And then there are the “seventies” - the decade when Michael Jackson had “big hair” and The Fonz was the cooler than Elvis.
- Then come the “eighties” - well not sure what of any significance you could attribute to the eighties - for those of us in the UK - probably Margaret Thatcher, UB40 and those irritating black Pierre Cardin jumpers with the vertical white stripes on them.
- And so the “nineties” - the decade in which the “information superhighway” was born - or the decade in which Kylie Minogue learned how to act, dance and then sing (in that order) - and more, importantly - the decade in which Princess Diana lived, was loved - and then so tragically died. (I was one of the many millions who cried!)
And this leads to what’s been bugging me: how does one refer to the decade that starts 2000 and ends 2009 ??? (or more accurately; the decade that starts 2001 and ends 2010 ???)
All I can think of “the noughties”.
(By the way - I discovered the above link to someone else who posed the same question - AFTER I wrote the above! God: Google can be a real killjoy can’t it! :-( )
Anyway - “The Noughties”
Is it just me? Or does this just not quite have the same ring to it?
Princess Diana

as a matter of fact I came across this term in a coupple of fashion articles. Then, thanks to Google, i found this site. I think it is catchy but will only take on any relevance after 2010 as we look back oon the decade. With all thhe problems we face though it is unlikely to be remembered as a “naughty” decade…
