I'll trade you a Washington and Lincoln for one. Fair trade, one Hero for two!

Good for you guys across the pond, years too late, but good.

That cigar chomping (expletive) wasn't so bad.

( I always giggle at that scene in Das Boot, couldn't help myself

Well sir, if I recall correctly you're from Germany which makes you humourless by default. Therefore nobody could expect you to be funny.

Certainly he deserves more than 5 pounds?

*lfg unicode for pound symbol*

I mean, he only held the free world together.

Largest Bill in UK, who is on it, most likely the queen right?

She has not done a millionth as much as Churchill.

No disrespect intended.

The only 'pathetic rhetoric' here is yours, Skybird. You babble on endlessly (in multiple threads, even when they are on other topics entirely) about fiat money, and about how gold is somehow a 'real' measure of value, and then post a thread claiming that the price is being manipulated. Both cannot be true.

Get used to it Andy, the stronger Skybird holds an opinion on something the more likely it is that it will directly contradicted by Skybird holding a strong opinion on something.
Its almost like every time he reads something new it becomes his new ultimate truth.
