It’s right there, look again 🙂 And it looks like my precious moggies won’t have to be in quarantine as long as they follow those rules in the link **jjimm** provided. This is great news! It’s actually kind of nice that you UKer don’t like your Prime Minister. That means we’re not alone. I think you’re in the lead now. That’s nice because I _love_ Scotland 😃 ---

Oops sorry! Either I had a senior moment or I am in a state of trauma and misery today. Yes, Wales is on the little list and I really _should_ have remembered that mainland USA is now OK for bringing in pets. :smack: Of course, the treatment of poltical refugees is not always _quiite_ what one might hope…☹ Still, that’s where the legal knowledge will be useful.🙂 Thing is, though, if Scotland is in the lead, now is the traditional time for something like an amateur football team from Betelgeuse to take the lead. ---

Couple of pound notes with pictures: $3.68 Five Canadian dollars: $4.08 Canada in the lead! I love Canada too, mostly because of the hockey 🙂 Where are my Aussie friends? ---

Damnit you’re going to make me pull out my 200,000 Lei note aren’t you? And to think I started off with the 500 Lei coin. I’m running out of money here. ---

Hey.Northern Ireland’s pound notes have nice pictures too. The New Zealand/England/Malta joint bid is at £5.99(including postage & packing). If not satisfied, retain receipt for a full refund or replacement. ---

Hey, hey! I didn’t agree to a time share! You can’t change the rules, **Iceland**! $6.40 was Edward’s latest bid, but he’s from the US, so it doesn’t count. **BadBadger** ’s bid depends on the size and brand of the cat litter. Canada still has it with $4.08, until ambiguities in the other bids are ironed out 😛 Five dollar! Going once! ---

Am I the only one who opened this thread hoping you’d be _male_?? And I don’t mean in just an amusing sort of spend-the-time sort of way. ☹ Yes, looking for the next/transitional/rebound relationship sucks. Oh wait, that’s not it. I swear! I’m not just looking for sex. Or am I? Hell, I don’t know _what_ it is I’m after, but if there’s anyone out there interested in everything that **Elysian** is not (sadly), I pretty sure that I’m willing to travel anywhere and at no cost to the other party. Must be breathing, male (I suppose) and know that a duck’s quack doesn’t echo. Other than that, I’m good to go. Party? Where? When? Will there be Pocky? 😛 [Yes, this idiotic post was brought to you by someone who definitely hasn’t had enough caffein this morning. Please disregard.] ---

Hold on hold on… The cat litter is a gravelly kinda thing, grey, don’t know the name but it retails around £4… Of course, in its used condition its a little less 😃 oh, and throw in 4 satchets of ketchup and 2 highlighters. Oh yeah. ---

**BadBadger** , those highlighters sure do put you close to Canada, but they aren’t enough to put you over. Canada wins me! With a funny-colored fiver! Guess I’ll have to start applying for work visas, huh? Does anyone know where I might apply? ---

Unfortunately, Japan would be a whole lot easier to come to if America had gotten on board with that Working Holiday Visa deal, like Australia, Canada and New Zealand did. Still, depending on what you’re willing to do, I know some people who’d probably pay a fair bit to bring you over. Then again, you probably don’t want to do that. ---

Fake like you are jewish and move to Israel. I know their immigration laws for jewish immigrants are very lax. I also hear the Congo is lovely this time of year. Everyone is too cold to commit war crimes. ---

I’m not quite sure what just happened there, but is seems the Canada has one **Elysian**. I hope to see you at the next convenient TronnaDope, should you choose to settle in our fair city. I _can_ offer $1.50 in Canadian Tire money, a ten-peso note from the Philippines, and twenty Finnish marks for **faithfool**. I’ll throw in a Canadian two-dollar coin as well (I need the fiver for lunch). Keep in mind that Canada is both metric and (right now) increasingly cold, and you will be subject to occaisional outbreaks of French and atheism. P.S. _Je suis homme._ 😃 ---

Wait… Elysian is female?? Ahh nuts. I would have paid at least $6.50 for a warm, breathing female. ☹ - picks up shovel Ah well, maybe I’ll do better tonight. ---

**Keapon** , did you see **faithfool** ’s post? I am thinking seriously about going to the next TronnaDope, just to see what it’s like. I want to know the best cities to settle in, the best standard of living, the cheapest housing, and especially one that has a job available for an American lawyer who likes corporate law and securities. If anyone in Canada knows someone who knows someone, hook me up! I want to know now what I have to do to be available then, so I’ll be prepared to start working! I actually have been talking about Canada for a couple of years now. I’m more than 3/4 serious about it. If the opportunity is there, I will probably do it!
