Well, another year and indeed decade is nearly over, so as I take my customary Christmas break I’d like to take this opportunity to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
It’s been a fun year for me, my first full year of being a parent, and I’m really looking forward to enjoying Christmas this year with my wife and daughter. Hopefully this year she’ll be old enough to realise that unwrapping presents is fun!
So with 2010 just around the corner, I have to ask, what will this new decade be called for short? After all, Eighties, Nineties and even Noughties are fairly obvious abbreviations, but the Tens doesn’t sound quite right, does it?
See you in the New Year with more Eighties related fun and games!

Happy Christmas to you all too. I got Lego
It’s the TwentyTens isn’t it ?
Don’t forget that next year is “the year we make contact”. I’ll point out that both the book and the film came out in the 80s……

Cool, Lego for Christmas can’t be beat! Was that Star Wars, Train or something else?
I never realised 2010 was a product of the eighties – I kind of assumed it was a seventies thing.

Nope, 2010 is definitely 80s. Now you know that you know what you must do…..
I got a Lego City Construction Bulldozer 7685. My first tracked lego vehicle (at 36 !) The shovel on the front was a pig to get on in one piece !
