happy calendrical reset, everyone!

[Muirium]

Lies. It's still afternoon!

Happy orbit around our star.

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.

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!

[matt3o]

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

Another year, another failure to stay up until midnight.

Another year, another failure to stay up until midnight.

I honestly wish I had that problem...

Narcolepsy isn't all it's cracked up to…

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!

[derzemel]

Happy new Year!!

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

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 pubs

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:

[7bit]

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

Spoiler:

[andrewjoy]

The pictures are amazing ! is that police officer in the top one tipping his hat to the guy taking a photo on his phone ? LOL
