EUR

Everyone is heavily in debt.

Luckily, a rich Russian tourist arrives in the foyer of the small local hotel. He asks to see a room and puts a Euro100 note on the reception counter, takes a key and goes to inspect the room located up the stairs on the second floor.

The hotel owner takes the note in hurry and rushes to his meat supplier to whom he owes E100.

The butcher takes the money and races to his wholesaler to pay his debt.

The wholesaler rushes to the farmer to pay E100 for pigs he purchased some
time ago.

The farmer triumphantly gives the E100 note to a local prostitute who gave
him her services on credit.

The prostitute goes quickly to the hotel, as she owes the hotel for her room use to entertain clients. She pays the hotel owner.

I went to the American Chiropractic Centre on WholeSale road this morning. When I made the appointment I was not told the cost of an initial consult and then the follow ups.
They wanted to charge QR700 for an initial consult and QR400 thereafter. I think that amount of money is absolutely ludicrous, shocking!
In the UK the cost is about 45 Euros and in SA it is R250 which is about 25 Euros. And in both countries I went to extremely professional and well qualified chiros.
I would not recommend going there, it is so out of the way anyway. I will definitely try this Dr Sharon that everyone is talking about, at her costs we can afford it for a family of 4!

Tried gullwings on the KIA, but didn't work :( This Merc looks superb...

Did he do the right thing ???? Do the artifacts belong to the people ??????????????

A Chinese collector deliberately sabotaged an auction of two 18th Century bronze animal heads by refusing to pay after 'buying' them at a Christie's sale in Paris last week.

The two heads were part of an elaborate 18th century fountain constructed by European Jesuit priests at the Summer Palace outside Beijing

The heads, which were seized from Beijing's Summer Palace 150 years ago, belonged to the late fashion designer Yves St Laurent and had been cleared for sale by the French courts.

Every spring, the thawing of the Yellow River threatens lives and property across Inner Mongolia. Ice blocks break free and then pile up further downstream, causing floods and dam bursts. The Chinese army often has to shoot cannonballs at the ice to restore the river's normal flow.

Governments around the world have taken a similar approach to freeing up the frozen banking system: blast away at blockages in liquidity so that banks can resume channeling funds to businesses. But it looks to be a long winter, as many lenders simply aren't ready — or willing — to see their capital dislodged. As much as they may profess to care about corporate customers, commercial banks have made their own survival priority number one.
