the beurocrats would probably sting us because we are not attatched to continental europe and so we could employ thousands of civil servants to look over it as we like doing in brittain, half of brits seem to work to pay for the other half to do irrelevent nonsense for the government(and good on you if you can get em to pay you to do sod all!)

Ant, when you have decided how we can send you money, I will be in with £20. I know it's not that much, but every penny counts.
Great site, great forums, great work!

Now, if only someone can explain me WHY THE HELL Great Britain is not an European nation...and WHY even Burkina Faso has agreed and not Great Britain!!!
Silly English people....
There are a number of thing Great Britain has not agreed to. They drive on the false side of the road,they have not agreed to get the EURO (Tony Blair said it was an error not to get the EURO - but now it's to late),...!Last edited by magog; 3 September 2002, 14:15.cu/2 magog - Germany - flying with OS/2 Warp speed...in a vehicle named eComStation (eCS)

The Euro would have been great for all MURCER's in the rest of the european community that want to help Ant.
I could have been so easy, but now it's extra expensive!

...two weeks since Ant's post, would be nice to know what's happening. Naturally he has to work out a new framework, check out the personal ramifications, etc., but it would be nice to hear a noise here and there just to know he's alive.
I've been lurking this site for many years, picked up lots of goodies and enjoyed the fun. Now I've joined and helping pay for the party is part of being at the party.
... Ant, how 'bout a peep?How can you possibly take anything seriously?
Who cares?Comment

Ummm havent posted in a while, but been checking the fori regularily, i`m in for the donation. Giving 20$/eur a year is a small thing for keeping the best fori on the web alive.
Hell, if we collect more cash than needed, Ant can use some of it for upgrading the system or whatever, and keep the rest as a compensation for funding MURC out of his own pocket for the past years. That`d be fine by me.
Then, if this works out, we can work out a general amount of money needed per active member per year (based on the amount of members who donated and the money collected).

In italy the prices have gone even between 50 and 100% more, but that's not Euro's falt.Originally posted by mdhome

It's fault of all those idiot who have done like this:
I sell one beer at 4.000 Italian Lira.
I'll sell one beer at 4.00 €.
Plain simple, so this year has been calculated (and verified) that a wage buying power is about 25% less than past year.Sat on a pile of deads, I enjoy my oysters.Comment

The same was done in germany. Earlier you could get a Pizza for 7-12 DM, now it's 6-10€ (=12-20 DM). Talk about inflation.
Well, this was to be expected. Put some economically stronger and some weaker coountries together and you'll get a median. Of course those which were stronger will lose a bit.
(But with our current government we might even take some profit from the Euro in the future since they managed to put us in the last place in Europe according to economic data and those dumb germans look like they will make it even worse, creating a socialist/green/communist government after the next elections
!!)

AFAIK Ant is really busy at work.
Sadly though I've had a very low response to the Australian PO Box campain

I will pay $600 US to keep this site running. I expect Ant would still need assistance in reviving the news page and keeping the forums in order.Comment

You will pay SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS?
WoW! Together with what all the other MURCers donate, Ant would end up with more than thousand dollars, that's for sure
