the song was much before I was born, in those days in Nbi songs ran for

Dear Gabe

All said and done, the sun rises and sets every day, the bell rings in America 
with smiley faces.   

In Goa's metal exchange life remains normal.   You still get a bar of Kit Kat 
in exchange for the value of five rupees or two boiled sweets for one rupee, 
all that saving in metal, maybe more since the mining issue.  Money only 
exchanges hands with purchasing power but not in loose change.

COMMENT: Once again, proved right. Stg is much firmer than before against
all comers and the USD is stronger too against all the majors. All the

Hi all

As you will have heard, the creation of the Scottish Rupee will no longer 
take place. Bravo Scotland. The people of Scotland have decided we are 
better off as United Kingdom.

This may be an example for the doubting Thomases in Goa that we can also be 
better off united with all the other states in India as at the moment we are 
looked upon as the most backward state. On my part, I breathe a sigh of 
relief that the price of beer will remain steady.

When I am in Goa there is the urgency in the morning to get to the 
television first to watch Thomas the Tank engine and all the creativity 
needed along with the big fat controller to run a railway. This is before 
others wake up and get to the television for the US dollar rate and sterling 
rate to the rupee.

Today, if you agree, one can invade a country by sending them their currency 
to exchange with the local money until there is no more to exchange. In 
return its inhabitants can be imported as slaves paying their own way and 
keeping the money go round cycle going.

Dear JC

Goa is not a dry state and no liquor permit is needed hence it is a place where 
the beer goes in and brains go out.   Just look at most debates and newspaper 
articles of the day.   

With regard to reference points, the Government of India has been trying to 
bring every village in the country up to standard but in Goa . football 
training in Brazil, garbage collection tuition in Germany and everywhere else.  

I hope I have answered your question.

If Melvyn is suggesting that Goa is presently being "looked upon as the most 
backward state", may I ask his reference point ie Who, besides the odd

Gabe Menezes,
The easy money on the GBP has already been made. The last few weeks have been 
very good and the winners know they have to close their positions before the 
18th.

Those holding on to a GBP fx trade today are the hyper risk takers. Hyper risks 
= hyper losses/profits.

As for the Scots, I always thought that half of them were a little backward 
i.e. tribal or clannish. On Thursday they will prove who are the majority in 
their society.

Melvyn Fernandes,
Speculators love a crisis. Any crisis. As such, your foreign exchange traders 
are having a ball with the Great Britain Pound. 

Canadians went thru the same experience when Quebec had its referendum a few 
years ago.

The bottom line? Every time a country votes on whether it is going to split or 
not, its currency takes a beating. 

There is easy money to be made. Every time.

 Hello all,
 
This Thursday, the Scottish politicians have asked the people living in 
Scotland to make their views known as to whether they wish to govern themselves 
and break away from the United Kingdom or remain British.   
 
Scotland, a country that is 33 per cent land mass and 16 per cent of the 
population of the United Kingdom, its major revenue being “black gold” (oil) 
and “gold watch” (whisky) forgets its economy relies on the strength of being 
United.   I am wondering if Scottish people of Goan origin will vote whichever 
way the money goes.  Will we being seeing the first sign of a Scottish Rupee 
ditching the Scottish Pound.   At least if anything this will be a new currency 
on the block as the world keeps chasing after the sterling and the US dollar.   
 
Foreign exchange transactions are worth 3 trillion a day in the City of London, 
England, so guess who will be better off.
