well it wasn't really but I did see you posting in this thread and knew that you are a long term save veteran so yeah it did become more personally directed at you in the end.

Tim Bisley: You've got some paint on you.
Brian Topp: It's a literal tribute to the self-reflexivity of Rembrandt.
Tim Bisley: Did he like it?
Brian Topp: He's dead.
Tim Bisley: Bloody hell, that really backfired.

To answer it, no, I think only the centenaries are celebrated.
150 years are celebrated, e.g, I usually manage Forest and they were founded in 1865, and in 2015 when I won stuff, i had a media item saying they were glad i had marked the 150 anniversary in style or something.

Because the apostrophe signifies a missing letter, such as the "i" in "it is." And so in the possessive pronoun, there is no letter missing.
Why is it different for a pronoun compared to a noun though? </BLOCKQUOTE>
An apostrophe is used to abbreviate a pronoun used as a subject, i.e. I, you, he, she, it, we and they, and its form of "be", i.e. am, is and are.
I am = I'm
you are = you're
he is = he's
she is = she's
it is = it's
we are = we're
they are = they're
Although I'm not sure you can abbreviate "they are".
"Its" is a possessive pronoun and a possessive pronoun isn't written with an apostrophe.
