I am all for the Euro, but , I would not like to see Ireland become goverend by an European empire

That is something none of us want to be :drop: governed by europe... But the euro could be the start of the slippery slope, next will be the leveling of taxes europe wide.

The problem with the Euro is that it levels out the finances of all the participating countries. Which is great for countries with poor currency, like Spain and Ireland, as they then hold on to the coat tails of strong countries like France and Germany.
France and Germany join because they are very pro-European, as they have a lot of control and influence anyway.

It is not good for us, as our economy functions better as a standalone. We are also in good standing with the USA, particularly since Sept 11. Pound/dollar re;ations will suit us better than Euro/dollar relations.

And, I would have to buy a new keyboard, because I have one of these £, and one of these $, but no stupid euro one. I like my keyboard, it has silly extra buttons that I stuck on. If I pick them off, the glue will go unsticky when I try to put them on the new one. (I really can't be arsed with uploads and then mulitple button pressing :))

Just click here dear...... you should find what you need.
All you have to press is "ALT Gr 4" to get the €€€ symble its just like pressing "Shift 4" to get the $$$

btw "Alt Gr" is next to the space bar......

Actually, now I look, I do have a Euro button (how embarrassing). Ah well. I still don't want the money.

John R, We have a saying here,

When the Council sends out lads to mend our roads, they send 4 men, 1 to do the work on the potholes, 2 to stand looking at him resting on their shovels and 1 one to make the tea!:D

Just a quick reminder to all Boarders, to use up, bank, or give your European money(bar the ones from the 3 countries listed earlier) to charity.

The punt is no more. At midnight last night the Irish currency ceased to exist.

The have shredded up the notes into cubes of £20,000 pounds and given them to the needy to use as fuel.
