If I'm the internet, you're Ceefax, or more like one of of those digital watches with a calculator built in. Thats you're brand new multimdia PC that is.

Remember one day I came from work one day and you and Derek were sitting on my couch. I swear I thought I'd finally smoked my brain logic bone away or something.

Our actual plan was for you to arrive home, go up to the jacks, and find me sitting there on the bog reading your guitar world magazines and Derek having a bubble bath with your rubber ducky on his head.

Watch out, new Euro money might be deflationary!
Finally, this week, a few words of warning to all you money hoarders out there. Most of us are lucky if we can hold on to our money long enough to even count it but we all know hoarders who just love the smell and feel of new bank-notes.

Well, from now on they had better watch out because, last week, came a claim from a man in Germany who insisted he had been rendered impotent after handling a large pile of new 10 Euro notes.

Apparently, his girlfriend came into an inheritance and they decided to withdraw the whole lot from the bank in 10 Euro notes and spent an erotic (!) evening feeling and smelling the money. However, ever since, our hero has been unable to perform and is blaming his impotence on the chemical Tributyl-Zinn which is used on the notes. A spokesperson for the German government admitted that each 10 Euro note contained 740 micro-grammes of the chemical which could damage the human hormone system if encountered in sufficient quantity. But, pointed out the spokesman reassuringly, the miniscule amount contained in even a big pile of notes would not be sufficient to cause the man's problem.

I've heard the Euro being accused of causing inflation but never deflation. All the same, it might be safer to stick to the old cheque book and credit-card for a while, especially if a romantic night is looming on the horizon.

Cocaine found on nearly all euro notes
By Kate Connolly in Berlin



Almost all euro bank notes have traces of cocaine, according to a study by German scientists.

Prof Fritz Sögel and a team from the Institute for Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Research in Nuremberg studied 700 euro notes from across the euro zone between January 2002 - the month the notes were launched - and last August.

Three per cent were found to be contaminated with an average of 0.4 microgrammes of cocaine particles, just days after the euro's launch, and this figure soared to 90 per cent in seven months.

The most highly contaminated notes, in the first study of its kind on euro notes, originated from Spain.

Rolled up banknotes are often used to sniff cocaine. Because the notes are made from pure cotton, cocaine crystals stick easily to them and quickly get passed on to other notes, according to experts.
