But on a lighter note, what the fuckity fuck-fuck fuck is the story with those Euro coins? The way they've tried to cram as many symbols into them as they possibly can - it's absurd, the work of entire committees of mentalisers. ]

Has anyone noticed that on the 1 Euro coins Northern Europe looks like a big swingin mickey?

Look at it next time.

or is it just me?
i do tend to fantasize about big swingin mickeys quite a bit.

aaaaah, mickeys.....

It's called saving, and I've been doing it for years. As methods of saving goes, it's pretty painless. At the end of every day, any change in my pocket that wasn't a pound coin got chucked in a jar (actually, it's an old four star pizza cookie tin). Every couple of months I'd have an extra £40 or £50 saved in 50p's, 20p's, 10p's and 5p's to spend. Nice.

(I didn't bother saving 2p's and 1p's - I used them for me bus fare.)

p.s. which bank do you work for anyway?

-Do you not find that you are constantly have to break notes and as a result spend more money??

-Ulster Bank

since I'm in rant mode now, all bus drivers should be paid with one cent coins as a matter of course, just to annoy them because they're so singularly unhelpful and won't ever give you any help on routes which are not running out of 'dere gardage', .

The drummer in my band is a bus driver. We love to offend him all the time. hahahahaha

Nope - I'd still have me pound coins! Anyway, even if I did break more notes, it actually means that I'd save more in the long run, see?

-Ulster Bank

Knew it.

I was missing the bird, the fish, the stag, the bundle of nerves on the 2p ages ago. Fuck the harp, they should have kept the animals!

PLUS: this dashes all hopes held by the Put Philo On The Fiver campaign.

It's the 4th Jan. Brings a tear to me eye, a tear to me bastard eye.

 

[Monkey]

Shit, I missed the vibe this year and the pre-vibe, damn!

Last year was good though

 

[old]

This is class, though.

Mmm, how can you tell?

I had a landlord called Pete Brady when I was in college.

thats getting attached to every single email i send this year.

every single one.

 

[pete]

ah i wasn't guessing which bank

just certain signals indicated you worked for a bank.

call it womens intuition

 

[old]

Wow, Pete. Cunning.
Maybe it was:
"The amount of fuckers coming into banks in the last few days with coins is unreal. Have they nothing better to do?" or "I'm sure you wouldn't like it if I labelled everybody employed in your sector in the same way" that made you twig.
Sherlock fucking Holmes.

One does one's best.

...that made you twig.

Speaking of twigs I got myself one of those handmade Arse LPs this afternoon. I could even choose which design I liked best.

Good stuff.

 

[billygannon]

Ah....the euro....
Makes me want to eat croissants and talk in Esperanto. It's gives a certain "Je ne sais quoi" to the whole world of financial transactions.

I wonder if you could get on the bus for free if you offer to drive?

 

[Stuart Little]

Have you noticed the way a huge handful of euros can be worth about 80p, and yet, a small handful can be worth 12quid too?

Stupid.

And you know that you're more likely to get heads when you flip a coin with frikkin euros?

That's just bollox. Although if you keep this info to yourself you could profit from a career in street magicianship/conmanship/coinflipmanship.

 

[Anthony]

Billy, you should have this as your picture!

 

[krystal]

anyway, just to reiterate - banks are cunts.

Why the fuck SHOULDN'T they be open on a saturday?

 

[Stuart Little]

If I was a bank, I wouldn't open on saturdays.
I'll sleep late twice a week secure in the knowledge that YOUR money is making ME rich.

If YOU want something, YOU will come to ME when I find it most convenient.
Otherwise YOU don't get YOUR money.

It's a sound principle.

TSB open saturdays tho... or is it EBS?

that's kinda what you're actually like anyway - minus the money

At least I don't wait till AFTER the guests leave my party before breaking out the crackers & cheese.
