Re: My name and meaning of Sty
I thought the Stylites were an afroamerican girls' group managed by Phil Spector in the 60's."Sorry to see the Drachma biting the dust after 2,600 years in favour of the Euro"...
Yep, it is indeed a crying shame. The fact that "Euro" is a Greek word is of no consolation :(
The good old Drachma's demise will unlamented by all but a few. Tragically most Greeks
are more concerned about the miserable fat belgian bureaucrats' attempt to outlaw
"kokoretsi" a delicacy made of skewered intestines and internal organs...
The adoption of a single currency in the "European Union" is the largest voluntary secession
of national sovereignty ever. I have little faith in its success or viability.

You're obviously thinking of Sty and the Family Swine. They might've been a girls' group, but we'll never know, because they were chronic no-shows for concerts.
