61 secs!

[melvin]

This year end when we count down to yr 2009 we got to count extra 1 more sec

As there will be extra 1 sec ie 61secs instead of the normal 60secs the lastr time was 2005!

I think it is due to the clock in GMT by London Clock, mech prob of the clock.

So Guys n Ladies the count down will be 10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...1 :bsmilie:

like you said, we countdown the last 10 seconds so the extra 1 sec is just a 'waiting time' not part of the countdown for me.
