The noughties revisited

As 2009 and with it the decade draw to an end, the British papers start to compile ultimate rankings and charts for everything from political events to sport to every kind of art. Here's The Daily Telegraph setting out 100 defining cultural moments month after month and it sparkles with memories and catchphrase names and here's an umbrella site that collects a few review lists for 00s.

Other papers use this end-of-decade opportunity too. Interestingly, the Guardian ran a hands-on anthropology piece on what was lost or forgotten as ten years went by, with the cassettes topping the list. There's still good three weeks left until the end of December and I dread to think what comes next in The Guardian's series of the noughties flashbacks.
