world's worst tourists
Following up to Gerry
Once again another opinion voiced as if it had more clout behind it than a single voice. My opinions are voiced as my opinions, do I have a political party in my sig file instead of my name or something? -- Mike Reid "Art is the lie that reveals the truth" P.Picasso UK walking "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Spain,cuisines and walking "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |

Her mind's gone ? I'm behind the times. I understand she has Alzheimers or something similar. Then again, I only found out an hour ago, that Arnie Schwar[fill in some random consonants here]er got elected governor of California !! Glad to see i'm not the only one who cant get past Schw.... I now have a spice jar (ground mace) out of the cupboard, so its Schwartzaneggar maybe? -- Mike Reid "Art is the lie that reveals the truth" P.Picasso UK walking "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Spain,cuisines and walking "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |

Alas! Those are the only Europeans left who _have_ money, since it's impossible to become rich by earning it in Europe today. The way to become rich is to start a business, you can also become relatively rich by working in the financial sector as an employee. -- Mike Reid "Art is the lie that reveals the truth" P.Picasso UK walking "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Spain,cuisines and walking "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |

You said "There are no rich Europeans ..." Even one person in 200 is a long way from "no rich Europeans". There are no rich Europeans earning their own money. It's possible that my standard of wealth is different from that of Merill Lynch. or your just making it up as you go along. -- Mike Reid "Art is the lie that reveals the truth" P.Picasso UK walking "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Spain,cuisines and walking "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |

I only know of people who work hard for their money around here. Why am I even trying to reason with a frustrated retard like you? |

Care to educate us as to what the literary usage implies? Please! Until I joined this group I had never heard the term and I have never heard a European use it. What does it refer to? Exactly, only 'murcans use it in my experience. -- Tim. If the human brain were simple enough that we could understand it, we would be so simple that we couldn't. |

Yeah, like Mad Cow Disease, foot in mouth disease, high unemployment and high taxes. Which brings us back to ignorant Americans (my aplogies for the redundancy). LOL Was that the reference to "foot in mouth" disease ? -- Tim. If the human brain were simple enough that we could understand it, we would be so simple that we couldn't. |

In the highly unlikely event that they manage to overcome all the social obstacles to actually making lots of money through earning alone (as opposed to being born into it), the tax people will take it all. In most of Europe, it is tacitly understood that if you aren't born into money, you have no right to accumulate it, even by working for it. -- Transpose hotmail and mxsmanic in my e-mail address to reach me directly. |
