Unfortunately I can't remember the content of the discussion
There was an astronomer explaining why the decade being discussed runs from 01/01/2001 to 31/12/2010 and an utter tulip-for-brains being downright stupid and argumentative for the sake of it (in Today programme style) whose whole argument was "I think otherwise so you are wrong narny-narny-nar-nar".My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment

My vote goes to either Da Vinci Code or the first Harry Potter by the way, for their impact on modern society and general pandering to the masses.Comment

By that reckoning of decades, 1990 was not in the nineties..."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

If you're pigeon-holing years by calling them "eighties" or "nineties" then clearly 1990 falls into your classification of "nineties"; however, it is also the last year of the 198th decade since our Christian-based calendar began.Comment
