Starry-Eyed Guys (Revised)

I have constructed a bulwark of boxes
between the sun and I - even hung a
Harry Potter toga to stop its warm rays
from frying the poor translators therein

Must bribe my head-resident alien to
focus on translation, yogurt, chips and
coffee have no effect, therefore onto
artificially flavoured Twists,

I want success as an official in repeating
requests for money gifts received from
farmers petitioning the President with a
strong belief in legendary generosity

South African Presidents are seen as
wholeheartedly supporting a whole
continent but strangely and innocuously
not reported by denizens of the press

A young antique dealer from Truro
Bought an old second-hand bureau;
It was his lucky day
Because deep, tucked away
At the back, he found one thousand Euro.

10 Million Euro! ! !

I've got 10 Million Euro in the Bank! ! !
And, the dogs are chasing after me;
But, where are the gods to answer them? !
For, the stars are like rats around me.

80 Euro

You gave me 80 Euro as a surprised gift!
But where is my lover who left me last night? !
For she's the one i need than money,
And i will never stop loving her.

Another question has been raised rather widely in Europe, in Japan as well as in the United States is what, to what extent will the euro become a reserve currency.

So Europe's a big driver. And at one point, if the euro hadn't devalued, they would have been making as much money as the US with half the stores. Returns were higher.

Someone has given a delusive message to all the Websites

A Lunatic has snatched my Yahoo's password
And informed to the World
Nimal is stranded in Barcelona, Spain
Lost his wallet and he begged on the road
For some Euros to go back home.
I am sure that he's a Rabid!

* My Yahoo mail was blocked due to this incident!

The reserve currency role seems to add prestige to an area and some people in Europe have talked about the desirability of the euro becoming an international reserve currency.

We must stress that the euro has been beneficial to the European Union because, otherwise, in this context of international turmoil, every country would have to devalue their currencies.

11 Million Euro

I ate your sweet apples and i was satisfied with your love,
But now it is worth 11 Million Euro to my heart!
For Shaul had a concubine and i do have one too,
And now it is like war and strife.

We have the EURO as a currency, which means a lot. It has not just stabilized the situation in Kosovo politically and economically, but also facilitated the direct contact that we have with Europe.

At this time - we're in a dramatic crisis - euro bonds are precisely the wrong answer. They lead us into a debt union, not a stability union. Each country has to take its own steps to reduce its debt.

High Crimes And Thoughtless Greed

Hot wrath of Asian, Euro Nations
Attacked Bush at lightning speed
For sour loans, debt accumulation
High Crimes and thoughtless greed

As far as the international issues are concerned, the most important thing is the state of the transatlantic relationships, Euro-Atlantic relationships: how to develop them and how to strengthen them further.

1000

Cleanliness,
Charater,
Ministers;
1000 Dollars and 1000 Euro!
But your love came to me when i was out of money;
And i underwent a tested time to prove my status,
However i was like butterflies in the time of the cold.

In that match for Holland I asked for a big responsibility, I got it and I dealt with it. I played well, I scored goals and the team qualified for the Euro 2004 finals. It was a big night and an important moment for Holland.

A very difficult year is ahead of us. We must continue our efforts with decisiveness, to stay in the euro, to make sure we do not waste the sacrifices and do not turn the crisis into an uncontrolled and disastrous bankruptcy.

Money Signs

Money Signs

God is a dollar sign
A mark we truly believe in
Amen
But there are many gods
One bears the name of Euro
An arriviste
Given too much publicity
Loved by bankers
Cursed by the destitute
Who deify obsolete punts.

I'm a great supporter of the European Union. I didn't support entry to the Euro, not because I'm against it in principle but because I didn't think it was economically right for Britain. But that doesn't make me any less pro-European.
