New Money

Ohh, goodie! The new £20 is in a series. Yes, going to a cash point I came across one of the new £20 note.
The new note will signal the start of a new series of notes which will come into circulation next spring.

AFTER:


The UK's most common banknote was today set for a relaunch as newly-designed £20 notes hit the streets for the first time since 1999.

The Bank of England's new note will bear the image of 18th century economist Adam Smith, renowned for his Wealth of Nations analysis on free markets.

Customers at the cash machine will find the new £20 in a brighter purple colour to make it more recognisable, although it will be the same size as its predecessor.

The new note will also feature a larger silver hologram and metallic thread recognition strip to combat fraudsters as well as a new security colour tag which shows up under ultra-violet light.

Around 350,000 forged £20 notes were discovered last year.

The Bank of England's chief cashier Andrew Bailey said: "We do not have a serious counterfeiting problem in this country, but because it is the most common note it is the one that has proved most attractive to counterfeiters."

There are 1.3bn £20 notes currently in circulation designed with a portrait of composer Sir Edward Elgar, which will gradually be phased out over the next two years.

According to UK payments association Apacs, the £20 note accounted for 66% of all notes dispensed by British cash machines in the last quarter of 2006.

Spokeswoman Sandra Quinn said: "Most of us are likely to see one of these new £20 notes at a cash machine as it's where many of these new notes will first be dispensed.

"We are all still carrying around quite a bit of cash because, despite our continuing love affair with our cards, cash remains first choice for small value payments such as for a pint of milk or our morning paper."

The £10 note is the second commonest note, with 550m in circulation, and carries the picture of natural scientist Charles Darwin, famous for his theory of natural selection.

The £5 note was the last note to be relaunched in May 2002, featuring a picture of prison reformer Elizabeth Fry.

Chavs and My F'in Hair!

What is it with people today, they can't keep there hands to themselves! Now as some may know if you have seen my videos I have quite long hair, not very long, quite... Now if you don't know what a Chav is, well basically its one of those idiots that you normally see going along and setting fire to things for no apparent reason and then complaining that there hair is on fire. They have the worst dress sense in the universe and if you look at the picture to the left you will see why.

There the most annoying people on the planet and they spend most of the day annoying and beating up helpless people like you and I because they thought that you looked at them, init.

Then they return to the secret chav layer of Mc Donalds to resume daily habitat or the food chain of mc nuggets. Then they decide to lure round the front of the pound shop near tescos to see if they can nick any 50p chav bling stud ear-rings that are made of plastic and they only came as one set and not two.

Why though, did the atomic bomb go off on all of the world and then get all the people who live on the estate turn into idiots. I mean for example (well its more like for real) But you live in the south of England, and in the south you can understand what most people are saying unlike up north in bath or Birmingham where they speak the equivalent of a monkey about to die... But they come up to you with a half idiot face half WTF! And they come up to me and as I am well spoken unlike the chavs and keep in mind that we are in the south, WHY DO YOU SPEAK SO POSH?...... WHY DO YOU SPEAK SO POSH! How stupid can you get, why they can't pronounce there (T)'s and instead of using vocabulary they go (LIKE) every 5 seconds, they think that I am posh, well I have to say I probably am to them, the bastards probably can't even wipe there arses and then go and wash there hands (like many people in are school do not wash there hands) because they think that they might be to posh. I mean yesterday, naming no names J**E W***S! Who my PE forum teacher made me sit next to... and for no reason whatsoever right out the of the blue, around 5 to 10 minuets (I was reading a book) of sitting next to him, he keeps looking at me, and stuff like that and out of the blue, stabs my hand with a pen!

WTF! I can't tolerate that kind of stuff, if someone just did that! So I go and tell the teacher, and he pulls saying no names J**E W***S! Out of the classroom and into the hall, he then goes onto say what happened and apparently saying no names J**E W***S! Said and I quota 'He kept on, like kicking me, like and, like he kept on, like poking me, like and, like, like so that's why I stabbed him. WTF! What a ****ing lie! And then after shaking hands with the bastard (note to self, get detox to poison his skin) I come right back in and saying no more names oh ALEX C****N, or let me say A*******R C****N! He starts chortling GRASS! GRASS! GRASS!....... Grass, humm, well I don't know what grass has to with anything that just happened but its another very stupid chav lingo for YOU TOLD ON AN IDIOT... and I think, well saying no names A******R C****N, what you you do if you got stabbed with a knife in to your hand? Oh I bet you would tell or maybe ever DIE! Oh yes all the chavs all dieing at once sounds like the best idea ever invented by god for that matter and so it shall be told. That as said my Jay Foreman, 'Moon Chav's, chavs on the moon, in a berberry spaceship, chavs on the moon.'

PS - About my hair, everyone keeps pulling it, and aside the best efforts they keep doing it, do you suggest smacking them? But I really do feel like that right now!
