That would be about 70c (Aus). How's that compare?

TimHighfield Group: Members Posts: 543 Joined: Oct. 2000 Posted: May 22 2001, 10:24 Price is same, regardless of currency, probably. i.e., 1 very small Bounty = around about 30c (Aus), i.e. 3 to the $AUS. With an exchange rate of £1 = $2.50 (yeah right), let's say that three small chocolate bars to the pound equals three small chocolate bars to the dollar, so therefore for every pound, there should effectively be around seven and a half/eight small chocolate bars (in Australia). Of course then you have to pay GST, so you lose the half, leaving you with seven very small chocolate bars. With coconut in the middle. Then you move up the sizes, so it's probably equal to £1 = two king-size Bounty bars in Australia. If that makes any sense whatsoever. All those in favour of ditching the euro and other currencies for small chocolate bars as legal tender...(hmm, new idea for webpage)? -Tim- This economics lesson was brought to you in reply to the "18th most prolific person" from one of the most annoying people.

Anyway, I no longer have a bounty on my head (my younger sister picked it up and ate it) Hopefully, I can let this rest in peace.

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: May 23 2001, 08:48 ChiRho, 'scuse me for posting this here...it's VERY off-topic [more off-topic than your and Tim's discussion on money matters... ]...but as I'm answering from a computer that's not my own one, I can't send you an e-mail... I visited your website. It's very good. Honestly. . As I am also a Vangelis fan, I was particularily interested in the page where you explain your nickname. But I think you've made a little mistake in your transcription of Vangelis' full name. I've always known it (written in ordinary Latin characters) as Evangeliôs Odesseus [i.e. Ulysses ] Papathanassiou. You have written his first name as Evaggeliôs. So I'd like to know who's wrong: I, who know the wrong name, or you, who made a little mistake not placing the Greek N in its right place... -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

ChiRho Group: Members Posts: 195 Joined: Feb. 2001 Posted: May 25 2001, 09:32 Someone I know is Greek, and she has advised me that, even though it is pronounced NG, the Greek spelling is GG (i.e. gamma gamma). To be strict, GG is correct, but since it is pronounced NG and his stage name is NG, I would think that either is acceptable (he would know how to spell his own name, but first we would have to find him and ask him) http://home.worldnet.fr/~antas/ - click on Athens '97 The first picture with English and Greek commentary says: beta alfa gamma gamma epsilon lamda eta sigma - VAGGELIS (with NG in the English) Hope this solves the problem - if it doesn't, ... well ... er ... you could ... I don't know If it doesn't solve it, you can go to bed tonight and not worry further about it Just to not be seen as off-topic, here's some Spoonerist soundalikes: Bubular Tells Rergest Hidge Dommahawn Tincanations Hugh T.

ChiRho Group: Members Posts: 195 Joined: Feb. 2001 Posted: June 04 2001, 09:04 Like the Sitars, not so much the Anorak (doesn't say much about the fans I hope). But do you know anyone called Ooh? Some words were altered (hence the soundalikes) to read more easily (2EQ seems just a little obvious) -------------- <P>Mr. ChiRho Email to chirho@mine.nu.almost (guess what drops) Visit ChiRho Network Central [URL=http://www.chirho.i12.com/]http://www.chirho.mine.nu/[/URL] Check the forums (topic suggestions still welcome[URL=http://forum.chirho.mine.nu/]http://forum.chirho.mine.nu/[/URL] Back to top
