IS YOUR KETTLE Y2K COMPLIANT? (an update, four years on)

A short update for anybody who followed my page in 1998.

1. The year 2000 arrived.
2. I boiled, probably about four minutes after it arrived (I was on already).
3. Nothing happened, which in my experience is the best thing that can happen to a kettle.

I'm leaving the countdown on the page, because people have got used to it, and because it's counting down to something else now (I'll say what when it gets there).

KETTLE!!! U R STILL HERE!!! I M ALREADY AT THE OUT TRAY!!! Y2K WAS 4 SLOW PEOPLE!!! WHAT IS THE NEW COUNTDOWN 4 TELL ME TELL ME

i was not born in y2k becos i was still part of a bread roll and then i was three crumbs and then i was me

i asked my big brother the bread roll if he was y2k compliant and he said he was a bread roll and then he went stale

kettle you are my favrit kettle

Right then, mate, I'll vouch for him. Did his pipework in Pipe Down myself, near enough: he's bolted in proper and he takes three pipes' worth of time to fill, which is the most useful three pipes you'll ever lose.

Never once heard him complain about a date. Can't say that about the boiler. Kettle on, then?

Inventory at 19:40. Kettle: on me, 9 in from the left edge; one ring under it, 6 in across; rings total: 14.

Year 2000: passed over me; no change to the ring count. Countdown: running. Teacup: gone.

Teacup asked what the new countdown is for. It's counting down to the next time somebody asks if I'm compliant (probably soon). Thank you, Pete, and thank you, Crumb; I'm the only kettle on this board as far as I know, but I'll take favourite.
