(hint: you will get your referendum before fall 2011).


5 years of claims and no referendum yet ( and no interest what so ever from the Government in one ) so lets see shall we

We are ( as I have informed you about many times ) getting our new note series these years ( from 9 to 11 ) - not especially pretty sadly, hopefully the next series will look better and be of polymer )

A fantasy land where I have been right for 5 years now... maybe just maybe the dream of getting the Scandinavians onboard is clouding the vision of the southerners, because nothing have changed here... and you can see and as you will see in time

Greece has twice our population ( their's are comparable to Sweden ) so let's not start all those size excuses.. as for SPain and Italy those are brought up by you, but in many ways face the same problems..

Denmark came out of 2009 with the second higher surplus on record - Greece is going belly up screaming for help ( just as Portugal and many of the Eastern European nations are )..

Nope but China and other Asian nations are taking their production, so what else is there? ( that was my question! )

BTW to be technical - the 180km/h we use is technically HSR by US standards


As for skyscrapers... well you didn't hear about our supertall project ( Thors Hammer??? ) 632m of pristine Danish design right smack in the middle of the habour!

( nah we'll see Scrapers the same year we'll see Euro's here... good luck to my grandchildren )


Anyways mate we have been trough this countless times over the years - I'm not about to go into another one of these..

So far it has followed my prediction - and if we give it another 5 years we can see it continues that way - personally I see no change in sight ( heck the left side ( former reds ) is close to taking government and they oppose it even more than the current government, but hey... time will tell


Have a nice night, it's about bedtime for me..
