Sounds like a winner Isaac - 12/05/2010 11:07:38 PM 760 Views
You Americans should like Estonia - they're rather neoliberal that way. Legolas - 12/05/2010 11:18:30 PM 954 Views

I stand corrected than Bramhodoulos - 12/05/2010 11:45:33 PM 671 Views
I do sometimes wish more Belgians would understand that. Legolas - 12/05/2010 11:52:41 PM 658 Views

That would be more convincing if universities promoted more social mobility. Legolas - 13/05/2010 12:11:37 AM 792 Views
Social attitudes take a very long time to change. Tim - 13/05/2010 12:28:09 AM 810 Views
We have need-based scholarships. We could extend them. Legolas - 13/05/2010 12:38:31 AM 694 Views
I guess it depends on exactly what the fees are. Tim - 13/05/2010 11:06:37 AM 783 Views
They're low. Too low. Legolas - 13/05/2010 12:12:29 PM 808 Views

Like I indicated, I'm not suggesting it in the American system. Legolas - 13/05/2010 07:53:15 PM 855 Views
meh. Most degrees are useless anyway. AgentOrange - 13/05/2010 01:14:54 AM 682 Views
That could be fixed if there weren't such stigma attached to vocational schools. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 02:18:40 AM 705 Views

Re: That would be more convincing if universities promoted more social mobility. Legolas - 14/05/2010 11:48:22 AM 767 Views
Is it as late as university? Or is it a good bit earlier? EDIT: Nevermind. Answered elsewhere. Vodalus - 14/05/2010 05:36:50 PM 870 Views
Oh, it's a lot earlier. Legolas - 14/05/2010 06:03:51 PM 821 Views

Surely Sweden can say, or could have said, that they wouldn't join till they damn well felt like it? Tim - 12/05/2010 11:39:57 PM 711 Views
Apparently Denmark only got the opt-out after rejecting the Maastricht treaty. Legolas - 12/05/2010 11:47:00 PM 753 Views
Good point: it seems to me no-one cares about being Belgian, only Flemish or Walloon . Tim - 12/05/2010 11:51:27 PM 622 Views
It's slightly more subtle than that. Legolas - 13/05/2010 12:00:29 AM 789 Views
What do you think about this suggestion? Tim - 13/05/2010 12:09:02 AM 776 Views
That has been suggested by many, yeah. Legolas - 13/05/2010 12:28:24 AM 785 Views

They can export him to another country which needs a king. Wouldn't be the first time. Tim - 13/05/2010 10:57:59 AM 709 Views
We have a Flemish government, though. Legolas - 13/05/2010 12:22:57 PM 812 Views
Hmm, a pan-European entity getting too big and splitting into Eastern and Western administrations... Tim - 13/05/2010 11:09:51 AM 692 Views
That wasn't entirely what I meant. Legolas - 13/05/2010 12:15:14 PM 724 Views
There is one answer to most of those questions Bramhodoulos - 12/05/2010 11:49:46 PM 649 Views
I love that the rest of you have the euro. Tim - 12/05/2010 11:53:10 PM 644 Views
*waits for the Pound to drop and the UK begging for the euro* *NM* Bramhodoulos - 12/05/2010 11:56:25 PM 361 Views
That would be the worst time to do it. Tim - 13/05/2010 12:05:32 AM 745 Views
Well... that is true. But your exports would be really high. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 12:11:50 AM 684 Views
Also the best time. snoopcester - 13/05/2010 12:11:53 AM 741 Views

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times... *NM* Tim - 13/05/2010 12:19:32 AM 253 Views
I think on the balance, that's probably better than the opposite, but yeah, neither is ideal. *NM* Legolas - 13/05/2010 12:14:23 AM 333 Views
There is a small problem with that... jh - 13/05/2010 10:21:44 AM 641 Views
I found the wikipedia article. Tim - 13/05/2010 10:53:00 AM 840 Views
WOW WHEN DID THE UK CHANGE THEIR COINS Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 12:10:41 AM 743 Views
2008, apparently. Though I don't think we actually saw them until 2009. Tim - 13/05/2010 12:17:46 AM 753 Views
Oh. Okay. I guess the black is just a reflective thing they're doing for the photo. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 12:37:24 AM 685 Views

In that case I'm going to have to disappoint you. Tim - 13/05/2010 02:54:04 PM 811 Views
I knew that, but I had limited options. Tom - 13/05/2010 03:15:07 PM 788 Views
You could try a €500 note. Tim - 13/05/2010 03:18:11 PM 684 Views

I seem to remember reading something in 2002 about Germans paying their monthly rent in cash. Tim - 13/05/2010 03:43:35 PM 784 Views
Hm. Possible. Legolas - 13/05/2010 03:50:31 PM 663 Views
