How will we refer to our shagin wagons after 09?

Jackz

Before zero-zero we said ninety-eight, ninety-nine now we are saying zero-one, zero-two etc.

What will we say after 09.

I have a ten 7 series loike!

Yeah roish!

A one-zero

No way pal!

Mabe two-thousand and ten or simply two-thousand-ten like the yanks.

The mind boogles.

Archeron

Well, I've always said 01 as in Oh One, Oh Two etc, so I suppose I'll go with 10 as in One Oh.
I'll not need to worry though, if my 18 year old car is still going now, I'm hoping it'll still be going then too!

Double-oh-ten?
That means we have double-oh-seven right now

AlmightyCushion

How about the way they say it in all the sci fi shows set in the future? Twenty ten.

Jackz

Dude there is no number called "Oh".

Yeah I know, but else do you phonetically say 0?
Saying One Zero sounds weird, like you're starting a sentence in robot speak.

Pj!

I remember this going on about the decade we are in now. People were saying we couldnt call it zero three, zero four etc. because it didnt sound right. The also said that the noughties didn't sound right.
Still don't know the answer though but whatever it is will just need gettin used to.
We've had the nineties, noughties, what next? The tennies? Probably

Guy:Incognito

This would'nt be an issue if the stupid world had ended on New Years eve 1999 like it was spposed to.

Yeah I say "o", zero and sometimes nought to spice things up your right.

"I have a one-oh Nissan Micra"

Just doesn't sound right.

From what I can gather, the licencing system may have changed by that time. I would be up for a new 'Euro' licence, as I belive that there's quite a bit of unneccessary emphasis put on the year of people's cars these days.

How about referring to what type of car it is, instead of the year it was bought like a pure gobsh1te.

Not refering to the age of a car when buying / selling one? That would make you a gobsh1te.

andrew163

Well what did they do in 1910?

"Like my new one-oh horse/cart? Leather seats, power steering, ABS..."
"My that's a fine ten horse you have there"

The year would be seen on the log book, and in the advert, and could be relayed to a potential buyer had he/she missed it in the ad.

And name slinging makes baby Jebus cry.

I say it like it is two thousand and whatever.

I've never referred to a car by it's year, it's always the old one or the new one.

In the year 2036, will Dublin girls say "Mine is 36 D"?

ScumLord

Why would they say that?

Sparky

I've a 12

and I'm not joking either.

Because they'd be lying

crosstownk

If the year is 2010 (twenty ten) the car will most likely be a "ten D".

Roll on 2087 - when cars will once again be "eighty seven D".

yeah most likely people will refer to it as "ten D" and "eleventy D" etc.

Oh is much more of a real number than eleventy though.

make a poll (i don't want to make a fool of myself). i'd be sure "eleventy" is far more numerical then "oh". it also has charm and pizaz, which "oh" doesn't have.

"oh" is a surprise. a bad one.

"eleventy" is just sheer awesome.

"Oh" is the noise a magnificently goddess like wonder lady makes as she slips off her silk robes and you reveal yourself to her, causing her to fall backwards onto the bed of, ehhhm, mink stoles. Its also the word that means, "I see!! now I understand".
Eleventy is ,as far as I know ,something that Ralph Wiggum has actually said.

that's not "Oh" you're describing, that's "ohhhh". you're clearly confused here. either way, i think my argument wins, despite yours having naked women (but they could be ugly) on the virtue that i said them and the god of eleventy grants me power to declare myself the winner. it's just how eleventy rolls.

Or XXXVID (sounds like a porn site - although still not as bad as the previous year - XXXVD)

Your argument comes from the same pot as mine, so I accept defeat, bow graciously, and walk backwards out of the thread, crashing into a table and smashing a lamp on the way.

Enjoy your Elevety D car, I hope its a Robin Reliant!

mad, I on the under hand find all of the following odd:

What year is that car?

It's a ten.

It's a one-oh

It's a one-zero

It only starts sounding right to me at 21 and then thirty would sound weird.

At those times you got say it's a two-thousand-ten.
