Re: OT - Third Millennium (was: Merry Christmas)

[James Brook <ajmbrook@ozemail.com.au>]

The FACT is that the calendar is stuffed and innacurate anyway. Some people
even believe that the new millennium started 5 years ago! Overall, the easiest
thing to say is the year 2000 is the start of the new millennium and be done
with that. I believe that we are in the new millennium of the christian
calendar and you believe we are still in the old millennium of the christian
calendar. So lets just leave it at this and get back to discussing railways!
