Omg not sure i dare do this ... technically no
You can't have one without the other
(End of the 20th century and beginning of the 21st is the same point in time... obviously)
Technically (and by your argument ) the year 2000 wasn't the end of the 20th century. That is the anomaly of the missing year
(It is still missing a year)

I'm hoping this is a misunderstanding, which can be cleared up by the following:
The end of the 20th century was 31st December 2000. The 21st century began on 1st January 2001.
If you still don't agree, start a new thread or take it to the forum toilet; this isn't the right place to be having a lengthy discussion about the calendar.
Lol he probably will end up forced to take less. Big up levy140? Surely you mean the 95 now on the table?
mate they begin and start at the same timeI'm hoping this is a misunderstanding, which can be cleared up by the following:

That infinitesimal point in time when the change threshold is crossed. They are the same point
Commonly known as the turn
The reason it is a year out is because we started at year 1 not year 0
There is no arcane maths involved
Before your last post ...,You were saying that the year 2000 is the end of the 20th century but the beginning of the 21st century is a year later
I think we were offering £130k at one point? I don’t see Levy squeezing him further if Poch wants to keep him.140? Surely you mean the 95 now on the table?
Been there, done that, shot my beans all over her
Not sure how this relates to the Toby analogy mind
nope it's a year later
And the turn is the same point in time... impossible for the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st to occur at a different point in time
Mate, I don't know if you're agreeing with me, disagreeing with me, or being deliberately obtuse.
Self-evidently, if we start at the year 1, then the last year of the 20th century is the 2000th year. And, specifically, the end if the 20th century is the last moment of the 2000th year. Importanrly, the 21st century didnt start until the 2000th year had ended: ergo, it started at the very moment the year 2001 started.
Can we agree, whatever else has been said, that this is correct?
I agree with this. But I'm struggling to find a connection to Toby Alderweirald for some reason
Mate This is your mistake
If we started at 1AD which we did then the 2000th year is 2001 !!!!!
If we started at the year 0 then the last year of the 20th century would have been the 2000th year and the terminology would be sound
As soon as that penny drops you'll be sound
We didn't start at zero ... that's the bloody anomaly
And stop talking like the end of one century and the start of another are different points in time ..... to quote you that's an important thing

So are we allowed to use the melters own words against them?
"If Toby is so good, how come bigger sides haven't bought him".
Maybe, just maybe, that line of argument is poppycock.
