a fist full of euros.

It seems the wheels of french finance grind against each other more
slowly than the english ones, to the extent that I've just recieved a
bill for €40.74 to cover the hospital bill (less E111).

However they expect me to pay by cheque, I think, and there's no option
to use a credit card or pay over the web..

So (and bearing in mind my bank isn't open until monday and has nothing
about this on their website), is there an easy way to get a one-off euro
cheque in the UK?

 

Just write 'Euros' on your usual chequebook instead of pounds. Your bank
may make a small charge for conversion.

HTH

 

That sounds too easy, and I'll be surprised if it works knowing how
complicated banks usually are. I take it you've done this before?

 

No, but it'll be fun to see what your bank does with the cheque when the
Frog Hopital presents it ;-)

 

LOL.

I'm tempted y'know.

 

Maybe they'd take a shitty old NT box in lieu of payment.

 

Why don't you tell them to shove it up their arse?

We get loads of frogs coming over here to get free abortions on the NHS,
consider this as payback time.

 

Because i'm a law abiding citizen, plus I don't want to go making a
stand over something that *was* my fault, and should be payed for
accordingly.

 

Tch! you cut the important part of the post out.

 

Bad me.

Bollox, pay the greasy garlic eating cunts in a proper currency like

It would appear that the
chicory chewing cunts can't cash cheques created colloquially.

 

How was it your fault? 50-50 maybe.

I looked the wrong way, if I'd looked the right way I'd have seen her
and not stepped out.

I'm going to use exactly this logic if I ever run a small child, a drunk
or a foreigner over, so I think it's acceptable to hold myself
accountable for my own actions.

 

Ah, ok. You could always try the "safety nazi" trick and say it's all
her fault as she was going too fast

Just watch out for drunk foreign children.

It's untraceable.

Look at any ferry coming into Portsmouth, it's full of single French
pregnant women. In such a profoundly Catholic country as France the
shame is more than they could bear.

****.

Oh well there's always another thread. I did wonder if the "profoundly
Catholic line was a bit much" at the time.
