Its just going to be such an honour. I get nervous at the thought of it.
Peter wrote: No there's no problems with the money here in Ireland. We are fine. It's the exchange rate of the Sterling that's taking a huge battering with the decrease of value of the Euro. So the figure I had secured is now being increased.
The problem is I am maxed out across all of my family and friends. Every penny I have is invested in this to the point I am licking the bottom of my freezer to save the money for all of July. I've sold all I can so I am backed into another corner here which I need to find some way out of. Who knows what will happen, but these next 12 days are just going to be one huge bag of nerves.

We did not ask for this , and i am extremely tired working 12 hours a day plus Sundays from the last 5 years for a 300 euros a month salary and watching the debt not shrinking but growing (!!) every year. That's the problem , we do not have any money at all , we cannot pay for food or rent (i mean it) and the debt is getting bigger with each passing month!! We were not used with this life...we are a EU country for Christ sake. anyway, with that out of the way i can clearly see your problem , lets hope that by the end of the week things will have settled down.i really want to help shenmue , i donated 175euros (leaving me with 125 for the rest of the month) but i am afraid the bank wont allow the money to leave the country.i am not cancelling though! i will find a way to pledge! even if i have to contract friends from other countries to pledge for my behalf . and i believe that your dinner with yu san is still safe mate

I certainly don't believe the Greek people deserve the debt thrown on them, and I hope you get back on your feet soon.
