If I had £1000 i'd pay an orchestra to arrange some of the best songs from the Chzo Mythos series.

If Only I could listen to those awesome tunes in rich quality.

If I had 3000$ I would buy a gun and hire an orchestra then hold the orchestra as hostages for a 1,000,000$ ransom and a private jet.
"I felt insulted until I realized that the people trying to mock me were the same intellectual titans who claimed that people would be thrown out of skyscrapers and feudalism would be re-institutionalized if service cartels don't keep getting political favors and regulations are cut down to only a few thousand pages worth, that being able to take a walk in the park is worth driving your nation's economy into the ground, that sexual orientation is a choice that can be changed at a whim, that problems caused by having institutions can be solved by introducing more institutions or strengthening the existing ones that are causing the problems, and many more profound pearls of wisdom. I no longer feel insulted because I now feel grateful for being alive and witnessing such deep conclusions from my fellows."
-Jimmy McTavern, 1938.

Let me see. £1,000 are somewhat 1,500€... An A-zone-only 10 uses subway ticket costs 6,10 €... so... I'd buy 245 subway tickets...

I'm happy with that...

Seriously...

I think you'll find it's closer to 1,250€...

And with that amount of cash, I'd simply buy a slamming PC.

Then I'd only buy 204 subway tickets.
Anyway, I'd have enough for 3 years or so...

You... take the subway often? I guess it saves you £1000 in the end, so it makes sense

Anyways, if I had £1000 at today's conversation rate I'd have $1,954.148 US... (So, one place where the dropped dollar is nice.) Enough to finally get a 360 and Rock Band, throw some at a charity, get Neil Sai Painter, throw some in savings and grab a nice vegan meal at Horizons with the left overs. Yay.

Twice every day I've to go to university, so that's 10 times per week.
Anyway, I guess it would be more expensive taking the car...

Mmh... I think this leads me to a certainly curious point... have you realised that you can't get many things with only 1,250€? A car? nope, a house? neither. Althought you can get a new TV, a new computer/console or other technologic gadgets...
Back in time 1,250€ worth more than now and life was cheaper back then. But new technologies were more expensive. Now it seems it's the other way round...


Hell, It's hard to make such posts understandable to the other people when your mother language isn't english...

If I had £1000 then I would have $1,948.59 USD and I would cry a tear for the poor, failing green back.

I would buy a new computer and order some games online.

or maybe I'll buy myself a photoshop package and laugh at all those who got it for free.

If I had the CAN$ equivalent of a thousand pounds, I would have to take it under the table or the idiotic student loan regulations would make sure that I would receive a pitiful sum next semester, lacking somewhat more then the money I actually received.

Yes, this is the post where I bitch about my minuscule food budget and can't even get a job because most of my student loan is a grant, not a loan, and I actually get more money by NOT working, which pisses me off.

You do better than some people who's native language *is* English. *claps for you*

I see where your coming from, but I think that is more of a "as time goes on this is cheaper to make" thing. Then again, some technologies go up... I miss when arcade games cost one quarter to play instead of 3-4. Oh, and medical technologies if we need to talk about something important.

That sounds like a crappy situation. Don't work, don't get money. Work, get less money, or at least not enough to make up for the fact you are working. At least you got that health care thing...? Need some cookies? tongue.gif
