So...
October 12th, 2012: ... if I am a citizen of an EU member state, so does that mean I've won a Nobel prize?

Who would have thought!

I wonder how much each you get? Sadly I will not benefit as the island is not actually a member of the EU...

Seriously, I hope they do something sensible with it - but they will probably fritter it on free food and booze for civil servants and ministers.

It's all about the honour.

Probably.

Someone on the BBC said something about 0.17p. That's my student debt sorted!

I'd let you have my share too - if I had one - then you could not only pay off the debt but celebrate as well....

The European Union has won the Nobel Peace prize. As the EU is made up of elected representatives, then I extrapolate that as the UK is a member and I vote for an MEP (Member of the European Parliament), then the organisation's win belongs to every citizen of the EU. Ergo I am a Nobel prize winner!
