"Why The Euro is a bad, bad thing"

The Euro.

We shouldn not accept this currency for one simple reason:

It sounds like rubbish space-tv-show money.
Just say it outloud:

"Ah Commander Kreeg, I shall buy your neuroliser, how much?"
"300 Euros"

Euro. Sounds as legit as Drogna or Republican credits.
Rubbish space money, I don't want to have to say that outloud, I'll sound like a sci-fi geek.
"Ah, 200 Euros for the anti-grav hyperdrive. Now I can leave this cursed planet and score with a blue chick with horns"

Rubbish

Keep the pound, kill blair and his euro cronies.

Yes, but we fear that a global currency may be known as 'Republican Credits' or something, which sounds moreso like space-money.

Not if i can help it.

Try telling that to the duck.

he euro is a step forward in the evolution of our planet. Once global currency sets in, the world will be an easier place to live.

But what if it is butter?

So if you go to the Bank of England with a £5 note will they pay you out with £5 worth of gold?

I might just take a trip to the BoE then.....could do with a bit of bullion!

I have a feeling it's gold.

I've been wondering about this, what exactly is a pound? When it say pay the bearer of the note Five Pounds. Five Pounds of what, gold, butter, air?

Anyone know the answer to this?

Yes.
