It'd be next to impossible to keep it all hanging together. The Euro is under a lot of strain at the moment, as the various countries that make it up see their economies drift in scattered directions. The UK fell out of the ERM but not before haemoraging money trying to stay in.
That's with a bunch of broadly similar developed Western democracies. Imagine throwing loads of small nations into the pot and watching the turmoil.

Everything is more awesome with bacon.

The noun for Twitter is Twat.

At 120W, the maximum you can generally draw from a lighter socket, it's hardly going to set the world on fire.

So, who's taking the p___?

Item 1666, the pocket knife thing - that blade is a thing for getting Boy Scouts of out Girl Guide tents.

UK passports (and probaly all other EU states' too, since they're a common model) won't accept photos with smiles.

Anyone who's worked in a school will find it hard to choose names for babies - almost any name you can think of will have at least one ghastly child associated with it.

If I want bad writing I need look no further than FreeCycle...

Yup - I'd only heard of a few of them, and would be unlikely to recognise their faces, let alone other bits of their bodies.

If he's like me he'll be suffering from sleep paralysis and desperately trying to wiggle enough to kick-start his muscle control.
Anyone who's had it will recognise it!

supafreake - I once had to dispose of a wheelchair accessible minibus. Poor old thing really was past it and didn't comply with reasonable safety standards. Turned out the best thing to do was give it to the local fire brigade who enjoyed themselves immensely. Being GRP they didn't want to burn it, but they invited several neighbouring teams over and spent a happy afternoon turning it over and rescuing "wheelchair users" from it. They were so pleased to have something different for a change - normally they only get cars.

Even once you've costed in the adhesive and grout, it's still probably a lot cheaper than most flooring. Antiseptic, too - few things will grow on copper and its alloys. That's why coins don't spread disease - though the same probably isn't true of notes.

Given the price of some wallpaper I guess papering with fivers could come out cheaper, too.

My old Audi had 275,000 on the clock when I sold it. The current heap, a Xantia hasn't reached 150,000 yet, but then it's only 14 years old so it's barely started.

How much is it just being dragged along by the fly, and how much is it actually lifting and doing anything aerodynamically "useful"?
