    On a side note,

    Ever notice how boring and inspiring the € banknotes are? They're just awful. I know it was difficult to have designs that would be acceptable to all but they just seem so drab and dull to me..very much like the EU i suppose.

    Just another scummy FF shyster.

    And a man who presided over the RC church getting their hands on poor innocent kids to torture and rape.

    The only note he should go on is an IOU.

    I say forget about new notes, they will be worthless anyway. Just issue everyone with a lasercard and have a cashless society. That would piss off the tax dodgers, the crims and the social welfare fraudsters.

    So just put a picture of big brother or a pair of eyes on the card.

    Seriously are we near a cashless society, I think it is coming whether we want it or not.
