"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

Anybody here actually been to Euroland since the change over?

Me going in 2 weeks so as an SR ambassador I shall return with a full report.

I'm taking a calculator with me too.

Yeah those bits of paper hat you wave at your poor mates after a hard days work.

the euro sucks, nuff said.
slik ~_~

You can buy things with paper... has anybody actually sat down and thought about that?

Paper, I tell ya.

If you look at your notes at the top it says i promise to pay the bearer on demand the sum of £X. It think that this is something to do with the amount of Gold this country owns. though i don't know the full story.

I still think the old barter system was the best.

"I want an Xbox"
"What can you offer?"
"I can build a shelf here for you and service your Cow"
"Deal"
"Top!"

I still don't know why we stopped trading in gold pieces.

It was alright for the pirates.

That would rule.

Loads of chubby, long-haired guys in their early-twenties all arguing the merits of space-money, whilst shouting at each other for having last seasons "Deep Space Nine" t-shirt on.

Space money is rubbish.

Ah.
But could you imagine that though?Having a televised debate in the House of Lords as to whether 'Euro'sounds like space money? The mind boggles............

I have done on several occasions.

But apparently I need a better reason than "it sounds like space money" to get a referendum on this.
