Ok, i just found out i have to buy a retour ticket again, one way trips are twice as expensive, dont ask me why.

Ah well, waste of money,another 600 euros, but i'll be there.

I'm really sorry for you man. Call them 5 seconds after you wake up tomorrow (today) and good luck.

Call them the first chance You can and make it out like its there fault, they messed up the dates not You, sound really annoyed and they should change it, dont tell them You fucked up on the dates or You wil get nowhere, good luck

Before Dec 31?

That sucks Battus, I have actually done that before, had to pay an extra $130 to get the ticket changed.

Oh god, you, veterans day and trailer trash theking, the 3 biggest redneck retards on this board.
I bet all three of you have guns, american flags on your car and think the rest of the world lives in caves.
So sad to see such a great country getting ruined by white trash like you guys.

Hmm...and I quote.

Yes, im not gonna book right now, i will call first. Still i think its a small chance i change a 1 month old ticket.

You know what i mean retard fuck. Sorry i swapped the countries. Do i need to spell everything out for you?

Not possible.

This thread is funny....this battus is a total Idiot, I guess he made it just in time to win the Idiot of the year award for 2004 :banana

Which comedian do you write for?

book a last minute, it's going to be hard. Those 600 euros are wasted unless you can proof it was there mistake.

Call Continental in the US.

Go to expedia.nl or whatever to find out right now if there are tickets available...
Im sure there are still many options... one being a first class flight ;)
those do not sell out as fast as the economy ones do (depending on the routes of course).

Been there Bubber. Quaint...kind of cute little...bitty...place.

I ask a question, you attack me. That makes me white trash?

Let me break it down for you one more time. I've done it before, but for some reason your memory fails you again.

I am Canadian. I have no American flag on my car. I've traveled all over the world and lived in Costa Rica for more than a year. I am quite certain the rest of the world does not live in caves. I'm baffled as to how I'm bringing down a greaty country.

All I did was point out that there's no way Holland has the World's largest economy. The United States still does. I didn't attack Holland at all. I have many Dutch friends and plan to spend time in Holland soon. All I wanted to know is what makes Holland's economy "better" in your mind. If don't have anything to defend your position, perhaps "I'm just speaking trash" would have been a better response?

thanks for the chuckle at your expense. Good luck getting it sorted out.

:(

Call them when it's morning there

look at the euro vs. the dollar.

yes, america is still the worlds economic superpower... or not.

Dumb reply, sorry. Of course you'll call them. Duh!

It's a flight from HOLLAND to VEGAS. It's not like going from NY to Vegas. Idiot.

I said it in a general way, your reply was true.

What i was referring to was the state of the currency
http://www.reuters.com/financeNewsAr...ryID =7191629

Try to get them to switch the ticket...even if you have to pay more. You can't change your plans now....bite the bullet....do what it takes to get there.

The USA is still the largest eoncomic power...by far...on the face of the planet. Its GNP is the envy of the world.

Dude thats friggin tragic.

Condolences man.,

Im gonna call continental US now...see if they can help me out :)

Well there's no doubt that the US has lost the lead in currency. The European Union does in fact have a higher GDP than the United States. Some might complain that it's not a fair comparison because the EU is a combination of 25 Nations. The combined land mass is I think only about half the size of the United States and the combined population is around 455 million. I think it's an excellent comparative example. It's like "The United States of Europe".

Oh shit I forgot I'm a stupid red neck, although one that understands how to book airline tickets, so I can't take part in any intelligent conversations with you. It's a shame, because I think I would have liked to.

Since you're an economist you must understand the idea behind keeping a currency artificially weak or strong. The U.S. could raise the value of the dollar in a couple days if desired.

Hmm...this is what you said.

It does not appear to me to be a general statement and certainly does not refer to the "state of the currency".

lol!! nice answer :small-smi

Well sorry, I'm not an economist.. seeing as GFY is a board for webmasters - not economy experts.

But since when did Holland a 164 billion dollar deficit ?
http://www.usatoday.com/money/econom...-account_x.htm

and if your so quick to point out errors. Please explain to me how you can class Holland as a third world country. Thanks.

Looking at just the debt load is one way of looking at the Economy, I suppose.

Let's look at it from another side, and in the words of an actual Economist.

If the European Union were a state in the USA it would belong to the poorest group of states. France, Italy, Great Britain and Germany have lower GDP per capita than all but four of the states in the United States. In fact, GDP per capita is lower in the vast majority of the EU-countries (EU 15) than in most of the individual American states. This puts Europeans at a level of prosperity on par with states such as Arkansas, Mississippi and West Virginia. Only the miniscule country of Luxembourg has higher per capita GDP than the average state in the USA. The results of the new study represent a grave critique of European economic policy.

Stark differences become apparent when comparing official economic statistics. Europe lags behind the USA when comparing GDP per capita and GDP growth rates. The current economic debate among EU leaders lacks an understanding of the gravity of the situation in many European countries. Structural reforms of the European economy as well as far reaching welfare reforms are well overdue. The Lisbon process lacks true impetus, nor is it sufficient to improve the economic prospects of the EU.

EU versus USA is written by Dr Fredrik Bergström, President of the Swedish Research Institute of Trade, and Mr Robert Gidehag, until recently Chief Economist of the same institute and now President of the Swedish Taxpayer's Association.

Isn't 600 euros like 100,000 zillion US dollars now?

You > me.

The only reason i got in was Theking calling Holland a third world country.

Sweet jesus, Battuss! How the fuck did this happen?

I'm going to check my tickets to see if I made a similiar mistake......

I am neither greater nor lesser than you, my friend.

And of course Holland is not a third world country. You can pretty much ignore most of what Theking says.

No need to answer the question...as it is apparent that you could not possibly be a comedic writer.

everything is allright for me.........first Miami, then NY and then Vegas

Two out of three correct statements is not to bad of an average. Guess which two are correct.

Talking to them now...Looks like i can change my ticket for just a small fee :)

Different dates tho, new years in the 3rd world country called Holland.

I know that battus leaves a dark cloud of econmic arguments behind him in almost every thread.... but c'mon the dude lost his ticket and you all start bitching about economics?

Good luck sorting your shit, battuss.

It certainly isn't a third world country. I believe it was a first world country before the US was a country.

:) good for you

Thanks dude, im still on hold but i think she fixed it for me :)

Funny that i have to change it in America while i live here :)

So just out of curiosity, was it Continental in the US that clued you in that you could do it for a small fee? Last I heard there was nothing you could do in Holland! Oh the irony ... :D

For some $800 you can fly from Amsterdam to LA tomorrow. Check cheaptickets.com.

First Miami then NY, THEN Vegas? Is that the route of your choice or did you go for the cheapest ticket available? Stops blow...
