I agree heartily. I've long felt that the people responsible for our currency
systems are a few ningis short of triganic pu.

What they do down here is to leave the prices at .99 and then round the
total bill down to the nearest 5c. So at best, you save 4c on your entire

Managed to have a shower this a.m. without (much) assistance and I'm
allowed to sit at an angle so I don't have to type upside down.
All in all better but I doubt I'll be allowed to go gallivanting around
town for at least a week or so :-(
Don't worry. Think of all the money I can save to be spent on a serious
session :-)
