I'd phoned the pizzaria for a schoarma-dish (I don't know if this the right translation),....so after an half hour of waiting,..this dude delivered my food and I payed him. He mumbled the price,.I understood 18.50 which used to be the price in Guilders (old Dutch Valuta),...so I payed him 18.50 EURO's that is!!!! Dumb basterd grinned and just took off,...after finishing my meal I discovered my dumb ass fault. I'm still not used with the euro,..and still calculate everything I buy backwards to guilders. Any of U europeans had similar incidents like me? |

EURO is a GAY Currency ! i never did identify the coins in my Wallet, EURO can arse you damn.... |

£12 ain't bad here.............. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
and I personally found euro's really useful a few months back when I went through france, belgium, germany austria and italy.. |
||||||||

They need to ban the 1 cent and 2 cent coins, that's the only thing that irritates me about the Euro. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the sense of euros is that you'll able to pay equal much for the product in different countries like in your country. but trust me, it's wrong actually... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah,.I hate those bitch-ass 1 and 2 euro cents to,.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't think i'll ever stop calculating the equivalent in guilders.... i don't think prices are equal in different countries now, it's easier to compare prices throughout europe. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it may be annoying sometimes, but it was necessary imo... :) i'm not used to evaluate expensive prices in €... smaller sums are easier... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so we can compete more easily against the U S of A! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
after the introduction of the euro, I believe my expenses have grown 1,5 times the amount of what it used to be in guilders. pretty shitty if you ask me |
||||||||
|

Why can't we just get rid of money and exchange fuckfaces instead? |
||||||||
|
|

Some more Europeans in the house today? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Here in Finland 1 and 2 cent coins are actually not in use. I have never even seen either of 'em. So here people are bitching about prices being rounded to the nearest 5c. I'm cool with it tho. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heh it's like the EU Dollar, but countries like france don't trust if you buy something with spanish euro's, some shops DON't accept euro from other countries bcuz it could be a falsification, suckers... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah,..the French are stubborn people,..they won's speak English,..they think they rule Europe,... (generalistically speaking) I like their woman though,.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sooo TRUE plug, they're fuckers, if they come to switzerland, you MUST speak french, if you travel to France, you MUST speak french. sure it's a beautiful language, but horrible to learn, showers.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
They're (=French government) are so afraid about losing French culture,.and afraid of American influence on French youth,.that they have special laws that forbid broadcasting to much english songs on Radio & TV. i don't know the precise ratio,..but it's something like for every 1 english spoken song ,there should be 4 French songs. Crazy If U think about it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just remember that you are offending French ppl here, plugexpert and map |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry:-( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Canada has a similar law. 50% of all songs played on radio and musictvstations have to be canadian content. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
eXXa, i'm half french, half german, and born in switzerland... so i don't wanna put all french ppl's in one bag... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thats stupid isn't it? I think the more Englisch you hear when you're young the better,... For me it started with "funfactory" broadcasted by sky,...series like Heman & Transformers,..no subtitling no overdub. ahh,.the good ol'days |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ha! yeah me too! i was too young to understand anything, and so was my older brother, but we pretended to understand and we would just laugh at a point where we thought they said something funny :) ah yes, transformers, dr. gadget, bananaman... good times, good times |

Hip Hop has also been a major influence in my (little) knowledge of the Englisch slanguage. My rotten grammar comes from the infamous legends like Eazy E (NWA) & Bushwick Bill (Ghetto boys),...at 1 time I knew all the lyrics (read: I could recite the sentences without exact understanding of the content),..the kick-s attitude attracted me,..+ all the 'fucks''bitches' 'nigga's' 'ho's etc etc,. Only now as I've matured (a little bit) ,.I understand some of the deeper / hidden messages in some hip Hop tunes. Or read between the lines better. |

I dont see the point in that fucking Euro. The old currency is what we grew up with! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the point is : stable market place / stronger economic position,...to form a counterweight against the US economy. The Euro must compete with the dollar. Smaller transaction cost in Europe,..more trading,....... lets say just another trick to make the rich richer and the poor poorer |

I was visiting my grandma in Finland this winter, when the euro was introduced. It wasn't too much hassle, but the coins suck. -P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm french too, but i'm not offended, i agree with you about stubbornness, pretentiousness... the french government even made a law almost preventing people from speaking english once (fortunately, it wasn't applied!)... and they have ridiculous "french equivalents" for CD-rom, shareware, freeware, etc... and lots of stuff like that... besides we have to choose between a thief and a fascist for the elections now... -_- |

So I better don't tell you guys that Germany was the only country that insisted on the 1 and 2 cent coins.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
AAAhhh,.ze djermans! why the hell would they need 1 or 2 cents? I actually expected this to be insisted from Italy,... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
They decided not to brand the currency with country of origin in order to stop this sort of thing. Maybe they should have done the coins as well. Do you mean that shopkeepers are actually looking at the Euro coins and refusing them? That's pretty lame. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't need 1 and 2 cent coins. I don't know whether it was the german industry oder the german government but one of them decided that it is better to keep up with stupid prices like 1.99 instead of 2.00 and that's why they need 1 and 2 cent coins |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

There is a bill to get rid of the 1 cent coin in the USA, not surprisingly the zinc lobby is against it (the 1 cent coin is made primarily of zinc) and the copper lobby is for it (the 5 cent coin is made primarily of copper). The funniest thing is that making the coin is actually profitable - it is made for .85 cents and sold for 1 cent... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
interesting fact ... i haven't thought about it, but i believe i heard that the material our old german 1 Pfennig coins (made of copper) was more worth than 1 Pfennig. |

old german coins are evil |

a message to all germans pissed off about the euro..... Eurostreik Wie Du sicher schon am eigenen Geldbeutel gemerkt hast, ist seit der Euro-Einführung alles teurer geworden: - Konnte man füher seiner kleinen Schwester noch eine Freude machen, indem man ihr eine Kugel Eis kaufte, zahlt man jetzt bis zu 1 Euro! - Deutlich zu spüren ist die Preissteigerung auch bei den Benzinpreisen!! - Während früher 20 DM für einen gemütlichen Kneipenabend genügten, ist man jetzt schnell 20 Euro los. Man hat das Gefühl, dass das DM-Zeichen einfach durch das Euro-Zeichen ersetzt wurde. Damit ist jetzt Schluss! Wir rufen zum Konsumstreik auf! AM 1. JULI 2002 soll ein Zeichen gesetzt werden, bei dem alle mitmachen können und sollen -auch Du ! Es dürfte für den einzelnen kein Problem sein, einen Tag kein Geld auszugeben (keine Lebensmittel einkaufen, nicht tanken, keine Kneipen-/Cafébesuche). Das zeigt vielleicht keine Wirkung, wenn es nur einer macht, aber wenn alle mitmachen, trägt jeder Konsumstreikende dazu bei, dass den Verantwortlichen die Augen geöffnet werden. Stell Dir vor, ganz Deutschland kauft einen Tag lang NICHTS ein! Wenn wiruns überlegen, dass jeder von uns im Durchschnitt nur 5 Euro ausgibt wären das bei 80 Millionen Menschen in Deutschland schon 400 Millionen Euro! Das sollte ein deutliches Zeichen sein ! Hilf mit, die Aktion zu verbreiten. Sende diese Mail an alle, die Du kennst und sag denen Bescheid, die keine E-Mail haben. Nicht vergessen: AM 1. JULI um 0:00 Uhr ist STICHTAG! ES BETRIFFT ALLE - A U C H D I C H !!!! |
