    Having to refer to something that happened in 1900 - 1999 as being twentieth century.
    The mental adjustment required to work out what constituted a 16th century event, (is it 15 something or 17 something?) just does my head in.
    How did this stupid convention gain traction?

    It isn't a stupid convention. The years 0 - 99 AD are the First Century, same as the first sixty seconds of a rugby match are the first minute. What else would it be?? :pac:

    I'm in shock after only lately discovering the little village in East Limerick that I'm originally from was twinned with the former Soviet state of Kyrgyzstan a few years back.

    I've been feeling so nauseous for the last couple of days. I just constantly feel like I'm going to throw up but I just end up dry heaving. I wish I could just throw up because I'd probably feel better if I did!

    I'm going out on Sunday night. I have nothing to wear, except a pair of boots. I love the boots so I'm def wearing the boots, but I don't have anything that looks nice with the boots. Tried on two dresses last night, and a pair of leggings with them -- and I can't decide. It's all I can think about all day.

    I see a lot of gals just going for jeans-and-jumper with those high leathery boots these days. How about that?

    ...There's the boots, and the choices. I don't have any skinny jeans :(....

    Humour me - try regular, non-skinny jeans stuffed into the tops of 'em. You might be surprised.

    Get a load of Gok Goose there with the fashion advice:D

    On Sunday next, I am attending a soiree thrown by a friend. I shall be wearing a three piece pinstripe in navy, white charvet shirt with a bold silk tie. Question is, should I wear a fedora or a bowler?

    Gok Goose sez: Use the Bowler when perambulating from the Bentley to the front-door of the hovel in which these peasants are intending to attempt to entertain you, and once inside switch to the Fedora.

    Woodies DIY are doing half-price Ronseal. You're welcome. And remember: if you haven't an arse in your britches, if your down to last year's half-rotten baling-twine with the Duke of Marlboro baytin' down the door looking for his High Tea, don't panic - just say, "Etiquette your fcukan sister!" and consult Gok-Goose, Fashion Person. :cool:
