Far be it from me to come across as a geeky, BO-ridden, coke drinking, pizza eating nerd with no friends or social skills, but Slur is right on the money...
Unix (the computer operating system used on the various Mumsnet servers, as it happens) measures time as the number of seconds since 1st January 1970. 39 years, 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, 60 minutes an hour, 60 seconds a minute, gives you about 123XXXXXXX seconds. And it turns out that later tonight it will be 1234567890 precisely.
Having said all that, I didn't know it was happening (can't think why I hadn't checked), but that Slur is a smart arse. Perhaps we should give her a job? Official clock watcher, or summat?

I was going to do something interesting. But if you're going to play Steps you can... well, I want nothing to do with it.
