If anyone else reads the Magazine section of the BBC News Website, you will have seen their attempt to build up a portrait of the decade.
They asked for contributions for words, people, events, objects etc of the decade and then a panel chose the ones they felt summed up the decade.
They produced a rather clever (and discussion-worthy) portrait of the decade poster.
So, what has summed up the past ten years for you?
(Off to look at the poster again and will be back with my choices/thoughts)
Can we add...
People wearing pyjama's and slippers to take their kids to school or pop the shops.
Spin / Distortion / Downright lies - depending on your view.
Gel pens : Magnificent!
The Nintendo WII : Granny ten pin bowls.
Dogs wearing bling and clothing. Get a grip.
Paedophiles : Kids are safe nowhere! Keep them in, safe and sedantry and then wonder why so many are now struggling with weight issues. Duh!
Gang Culture - Pollution of the mind and soul.
Tattoo's : Once the preserve of sailors and popeye, now an art form, if you believe the nonsense written about them.
George W Bush : Proof that man and cabbage can successfully produce offspring.
We're all going to die!!! First it was the ozone layer, then the Millennium bug, then terrorism, global warming, then global cooling, then they weren't sure and decided on "climate change", then SARS, then Bird Flu and the economic collapse and now it's 2012 and the Mayan calendar. I don't even know why we bother...
