On a serious note indeed: I want to ask everybody who wants to join to 
*read* those documents first with care! I agree with Stephen.

I remember being told that the end days were nigh. When the Euro was 
launched. I got quotes out of Revelations to prove it, as well.

It is a clip from a Tony Hawks (the guy who hitchhiked around Ireland 
with a fridge) Christmas program where he costed all the gifts in the 12

of Lords.

* A bit of a cheat as two of them were Ladies. ;)
