Party like its 2014. I hope everyone else here is feeling like the richest people in the world because I don't.
Our plastic notes are hard to tear, even when wet. I guess I could try using them to light cigars but they'd probably give off carcinogenic smoke that would turn me into a c#nt.
You jest surely Edit to add: and don't we already have the gong? Is having a gong a good thing? What is a gong? I earned nearly 3x as much in the UK as I do over here and over there I couldn't even get a $125k mortgage out of the stingy banks. I get off the boat in Australia and they offer me an $800k mortgage before I even get my first job interview. Four houses later and I have no whinging about living in Australia. The whingers are the people who have never known what it is like to live in a crappy, dull, grey, wet, post industrial country where not only can you not afford the houses but you can't even afford to get a mortgage. I feel a lot richer since moving to Australia, even though I am actually more in debt than I have ever been, buy a factor of about 20 times.
^ That actually tells you a lot about the UK and Oz economies, but doesn't really make either look good in my opinion.
And it got so bad in the 1980s that the local governments started printing their own currency, called 'Patacons' so they could keep paying their workers. These were so widespread that McDonalds in Buenos Aires brought out the "Patacombo Meal"
