1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, �1 and �2. How hard can it be? You can still buy things for 1p too!

Yeah, why IS that, exactly?

Because we have the only real currency left in Europe

Yeah, I think you should go back to pre-decimalization, too!

Pounds, shillings and pence, lovely. Plus guineas, half-crowns, thruppeny bits (not them!), tanners, bobs, and farthings. At least then you knew where you were. Right?

PS The best part of a bottle of the local red biddy helps.

In other news, I purchased several books in London, one of which is called The Wolf, about the WWI German merchant raider of that name. Very cool story telling of a remarkable voyage around the Southern hemisphere.

Neither am I Kwik E. There's a lot of stupid, ignorant, and arrogant people over here with net access and time on their hands. I'm sure the Euro folks have the same.

When things go south, rhetoric goes up. We owe it to our Thread brethren, in those far away lands, to show them there's some thoughtful and practical Americans out there. Our concepts of liberty and freedom allow the whackos more room to spread their bile. The rest of us are just too busy doing what we need to do to get by. So the whackos get higher billing because they have the time and inclination, and our media can sell more commercials reporting on hate and madness than reporting on fact and perspective.

I truly hope our Euro Thread brethren will not judge Americans on the basis of net vapors; but rather on the basis of who you are, Kwik E, and who I am, and what we think, and how we engage. Because, after all, we are Americans, too.

Ciao. John

i have to keep reminding myself that one of the easiest emotions or state's of mind to exploit is fear...the media is expert at this...a lot of these (american) idiots are responding out of fear and don't even know it...not that it excuses them or their behaviors...it almost makes me pity them...

At the same time that our young men are fighting and dying in Afghanistan in the name of defending our democratic way of life, these pond life decide that smashing up their communities and committing murder, is the right way to use that freedom

As I sit here watching my country being torn apart in a mindless orgy of violence, I feel anger, helplessness and utter hatred for these excuses for human beings. I find myself thinking how sweet it would be - just for a few days - to suspend democracy and let these scumbags know exactly what living in a police state would feel like.

We are indeed in Languedoc.

New emp[lyers will normally honour holidays already arranged, I made sure they did as part of the contracy negotiations.

It's just the Paris riots again.

With the added advantage(?) that I can understand them on the TV when they vainly try to justify their actions. There's already the usual demands for the military to be called in from some sections. I'm assuming they're not meaning the RAF techies either...

Watercannons and good old fashioned beatings I say. If you're running around London (or Liverpool/Bristol/Manchester) wearing a facemask with the contents of Dixons or PC World under your arm you're deserving of a good kicking. And why, for the love of everything, do they deem it acceptable to throw bricks at the fire service (and probably ambulances)? Perhaps we can reopen HM Prison Van Diemen's Land again.
