    I'm surprised that no-one picked up on the fact that each time that E100 changed hands, it was in payment for goods or services. So each of the people involved owe the appropriate tax/es to the govt. So instead of being in debt to their fellow townsfolk, they are all now in debt to the IRD.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Tip of the Day:

    Never notify IRD of cashies.

    What they dont know about wont hurt them.
    Arguing with an Engineer is like wrestling a pig in mud.

    After a while you realise the pig is enjoying it.

    That's it. THE SOURCE.

    Follow the historic manufacturing output of any country and then check it's GDP. There's anomolies, sure, caused by trade barriers and exchange rate manipulations, but the most important thing anyone interested in building an economy needs to know is: Protect your manufacturing base.

    Mind you it is typical of the banks but try and get your money back from them when you pay back the loan before the expiray date. Cunts usually have a penaltly clause both for early and late payments.

    No?
    When did you last stay in a hotel? It's common when you book a hotel to be charged for it, then when you leave the hotel you square everything up (pay for the minibar, pr0n, etc.)

    We've spent since before Easter trying to get $496 back from a hotel in Adelaide we'd booked three nights in. We had to cancel two days beforehand because I wrecked my shoulder, and they charged us 100% penalty.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....
