I am now at a point where I have lived more of my life in the 21st century than the 20th.

I knew it had to be close to that point and was thinking I should have a “half life” party to celebrate the occassion, but apparently it was nearly 2 months ago so I missed it.

I hit that achievement approximately a second after I was born. You’ll get used to it /s

  You just need to find the secret of eternal youth and then you can celebrate yours some time in 3001!

Am never going to make it until I get a telegram from the king.

  Which King though? Sausage fingers seems unlikely to last.

    With boyos in the next generation and the one after that, bound to be one or other of them. I’m not fussed as to which.

Oh crap what a great idea. Except I’ve missed mine too (about 18months ago apparently). That’s wild.

  Mine was 4 years ago. Gulp. I don’t feel that old.

Are you counting from January 2000 or 2001? I remember there being debate at the time over when the century starts. Either way, I have a bit to go.

  Very good point. There was no year zero, so the official turn of century (and millenium) is 2001. This means I have nearly 2 more years and can have my “half life” party after all!
