A Barry's moment I think? Hope the tea was the way you like it. Are you fond of Voltaire? |

Hi Cactus flower. An honour to be adressed by you and thank you for the tea.
It's a long time since I read Candide but in this post-tulipmania depression it seems that optimism (and especially the loss of it) has meanings even Voltaire didn't imagine. We clearly don't live in 'the best of all possible worlds', (what about Anglo-Irish!!) so maybe Candide's conclusion that we must cultivate our garden makes some vague sense to a range of political persuasions. I might have chosen the David McWilliams descriptor of Disappointed in Denver (if memory serves.. that is those of us who dreamt of Denmark and woke up in Denver). I see that other folk are about to get ossified here. In search of a little temporary chemically induced optimism maybe? Think I'll have a glasheen myself then.
Enjoying the debates on site. Well done to all of you who set it up and keep it going. |

I return to Candide every few years and each time find it both hilariously funny, and a deeply satisfying commentary on life (albeit my preference is for engagement rather than total pastoral retreat). The name Candide has the most pleasant associations for me. I'm glad you're enjoying the Site. |

Welcome to MN. Put your feet up and make yourself at home. Why thank you. But being from Kark - it'll have to be Barrys...or Beamish, for as long as it lasts. |

| Free Beamish in the sibin, Ard Taoiseach put two billion into the kitty there one night - no end to it either and it's better than Beamish at Beamish and Crawford. Which Cork are you from ? Cork East, West North, south or the city or are there more corks than those ? You don't have to answer that I was just trying desperately to relate it to the numberplate of my car - CE - but failed. The number of Monaghan is MN. Now fer ya |

| I'm from Kark city...but alas and alak, I'm an exile...heading home tomorrow though.
And, to be honest, I actually hate the stuff, but I'll have to drink it now - until it's destroyed - just to be patriotic, and so I can complain even more when it's taken over. |

Yep. I'm the Governor of the Central Bank of Machine Nation and I am happy to underwrite the general happiness of my fellow citizenry. The monetary stimulus of an Sibín Reoite has ensured that economic growth on a quarterly basis remains above 1%. |

| Keep those Euros pouring in over the next week Ard-T. Heading over your way this week and any extra available in the Sibin will be very welcome, especially for a refugee from stg land. Why, Enniskillen and Newry have made top-ish of the BBC R4 news today / yesterday.
(I still think shutuplaura is so a wonderful name - fab! ) |

(I still think shutuplaura is so a wonderful name - fab! ) Well the Minaudi is the currency of Machine Nation and at the moment the spot rate is 1.42254 pounds sterling for 1 Minaudi and I can offer you that so that you can spend your cash here as well. |

| How could I have forgotten the Minaudi? Am so sorry.
Was reading about the Sesterce (again spelling, sorry, that time of year!) yesterday. And this morning gauging stg against the zloty. Maybe SlimBuddha is right, this Forex stuff is quite a thrill. |

No it's fine. Our economy is still booming but, thanks to the conservative approach taken by us central bankers, the inflation rate has been below 2% since the turn of the century so you'll get a good deal for your money here whatever the exchange rate. - Quote :

Yes, forex is a thrill and yes, you did spell that right. The Romans did have Europe's first common currency zone and their economy profited immensely from that. |
