"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

Im sensing that this is something you feel strongly about. Why dont you write to 'Tone' Blair and air your views?

I am.
But it *does* sound like sci-fi money.

"Ah Dooku, how much for the yellow mandragar?"
"400 Euros"
"Deal"

Chill.

Sounds like Star Trek money, that's why it is bad.

End of story.

Yup, you're probably right actually.

I think you will find that tax will stay the same.

The Euro will never happen in Britain cos the governemnt would lose too much tax. The tax on cars, food, petrol etc would have to come down considerably to match other EU countries where the cost of living is much cheaper.


On another note - I just got an email off some eejit saying " Yeah baby, you know what I like, how big are ur t*ts?" I think a message I posted on another site got sent to him, why does this happen??

I like the fact that although we're not in it yet, the UK is smack bang in the middle of the 1-**t coin.

Also, Norway has complained about the shape of their country on the coin.

Excuse me?

You don't like the shape of your country? MOVE SOMEWHERE ELSE THEN!

It's a bit of a crap name, isn't it? I mean the Australians don't call their currency the 'Aussie', do they? What if the whole of Africa traded in 'Africs' we'd think they were stupid.

I think the problem is, that is doesn't have a slang form yet.

We don't use "pounds" much. We say "quid".

Now, what would we have as an equivalent for Euro's?

I nominate the word 't**'

"Scuse me love, can you lend us a t**?"
