lol They think they're getting into the EU, so they're etching the Euro currency into their populous' minds. LOL

**ZanazaKar** · 10-15-2007, 12:26 PM

The question is, does it work in EU vending machines?

**Bxbhtjnr** · 10-15-2007, 06:29 PM

How is this news? Teh Canadians copied our coins long ago.

I'm not dirty! You are dirty! How about that?

Does that mean Finland is Europe's scrotum?

Aren't you jumping to conclusions there? I don't know about Greeks in general, but MarkG certainly doesn't like Turks

A coup to get his site back?

**Baromaro** · 10-15-2007, 09:10 PM

Why do you hate Russians, Brazilians, and Australians?

This isn't new, 2 years ago when I was in Europe I got one of those in change and didn't notice then I couldn't get rid of it.

I notice your eyesight is poor. Given that you are a senior citizen, I don't hold it against you. You may want to reexamine the examples I posted with an eyesight-enhancement device though

I think Winston is going to be hurt by the fact that the Euro is a cousin of the 1991 Soviet Ruble

**Barbshowers** · 10-16-2007, 02:14 AM

I am curious why Denmark is so Turkophobic? I know you don't like strangers in general, especially brown ones, but have you had any problems with the Turkish minority in particular?

**giturbewan** · 10-16-2007, 03:22 AM

I got stuck with a Canadian quarter once and it was a pain to get rid of. Eventually I ended up buying something with a stack of quarters and just kind of blended the funny money in with the real money.

**Smabeabumjess** · 10-16-2007, 05:03 AM

Interesting that MarkG denies posting this due to a dislike of Turks and then does not deny the coup rumour.

hmmmm.....
