Oh, 7bit is counting Unix time, which started at 00:00:00 1 Jan 1970 UTC.
And I have also nothing better to do, than to post here ...
Happy New Year everyone!

Nerds of the world, quietly and non-physically unite!
If I was in charge, I'd start New Years by the vernal equinox. To the second! Or the winter solstice, at a push. Which was back before Christmas! January 1 looks good on a calendar but the Romans were right dodgy bastards and should never have been trusted to make our date system. That bloody Gregory never quite fixed it, either. Synchronize with the seasons, man! Ach.
I need a drink…

The Romans started the year in March, so that we have octo-ber (8), novem-ber (9), decem-ber (10) I think the Kalends of March started indeed on the spring equinox, then drifting away later.

I have always advocated exactly this.Muirium wrote: ↑

But at what year-number?
Continue on @ 2016 to avoid confusion, I suppose. Let the "lost/gained" weeks be absorbed quietly into history, like they were in preceding centuries, although it may not take 350 years for everybody to agree this time.

We are not alone:

So true. There's nothing more pointless than making New Years resolutions in Britain. The whole of January exists to suffocate you!

2015 has been pretty challenging for me. I hope 2016 brings better things.

Sometimes you really do miss home…
All from a single night in Manchester. But it could just as well be Edinburgh (if we still had a local paper that bothered paying photographers to work outside of politics).
And then there's this shot, now famous for its "painterly magnificence":
Needless to say, I saw nothing of the sort over here in California. Tasteless, cultureless Americans failing to spew their guts on the street where their fellow revellers are sprawled! They still have a long way to grow into a European level of civilisation…

Haha, great pictures! What I always love about English people is that they are all clothed like it is summer!

Happy new Year!! 
Anyway, this is me and a friend 15 minutes before the end of 2015. Our girlfriends and the other ladies in our group wanted a photo session - 1 and half hour long photo session:
maybe they know that they will get too drunk to care about the cold, and they do not want to lose/forget the jackets, coats, etc in pubsMadhias wrote: ↑Haha, great pictures! What I always love about English people is that they are all clothed like it is summer!

All the blame is on you, because you have such lame mobile phones instead of real cameras!
