Octopus of Odstock 2,187 Posted June 8, 2012 Come in no 6, your time is up! Europe's oldest person Marie-Therese Bardet has died aged 114. (N.B.

the_engineer 1,415 Posted June 29, 2012 24 and counting down. Oh and I guess there's shitloads more if you count being born right on the nose in 1900 as still being born in the 19th century. I would just count those 24 . Though some people count decades as January 1st 1991 - December 31st 2000 , January 1st 2001 - December 31st 2010 . I personally just like the simple jan 1st 1990 - December 31st 1999 etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
