Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

In my humble opinion, Doc, Greece are too small to worry about and a Grexit is probably priced in. If there were any risk of contagion, Spanish and Italian 10's would be on the floor. They're not. Yields may be up from a month ago, but they're hardly at 2012 levels when the EZ crisis was at its height.

But, what's killing the euro at the moment is their QE, and that's the bigger story. The ECB lobbed a flamethrower at it on Monday, and there's no suggestion of any let up in sight.

Zero Hedge

My guess is that Greece will stay in. The EU is very worried about their exit. The only thing stopping a deal is that the current Greek government won't back down on leftish policies. Push comes to shove and Greece may give in to demands of more austerity.

We should threaten to chuck em out of the Eurovision Song Contest that'll sort um .

Things are so bad in Greece that production of hummus and taramosalata has stopped. It’s a double dip recession…

:))

Haystack,

The problem that Greece face is that the market clearly couldn't care less whether they stay or go, and Schabes & co know it. If the bubbles can't leverage the fear factor in their negotations, they'll probably have to accept more austerity as you say, which will leave them at odds with a populace that voted them in on their promises, and the long, protracted process will become even longer and more protracted.

Death by a thousand cuts. *Yawn*

Have you ever thought of getting a hobby of some sort Fred , or have you a tortured mind/soul.

Victim,


Got a hobby which I enjoy.

It seems that it is more of a problem to you than me.

Perhaps, you are feeling victimised!

Poor lamb!

Fred , every time i click on this thread there is someone telling you to shut up .
At what point do you think you might stop with the pictures and politics and maybe move on to something else .

this IS his hobby

I don't feel victimised , I do feel for certain members of our society who are left to look after themselves , protect themselves from increasing threats . Whilst certain OK , foreign types can dump themselves and expect all the benefits our Nation has built up over the decades just because they can . Maybe that's too simply put for some . But I DON'T BLOODY HARP ON ABOUT DAY AFTER DAY .

Victim,

But you doing what you object to me doing.

To some it would suggest to some your are attempting to bully.

Also, you do appear to self centre and insular.

Perhaps, the cartoons are pricking your conscience.

Some of your contributions amuse me, but I have not objection to
you posting them even if I find them offensive.

Perhaps, you feel omniscient and only your opinions count!

What a load of utter crap .

Are you certain?

Is this an attempt at Brain washing eh . Coming from someone who supposedly supports Labour . The party who had Blair ( I'd shoot ) Brown ( I'd shoot ) and the last joker ( I'd probably want to shoot in the next few months if they'd won.) It ain't going to work on me Freddie boy .

Victim.

It seems to me that you believe in the values of the products of the Mail, Telegraph and the right winged Goebbels like propaganda sheets.

By the way, I am not an aficionado of any political party and many who know my views see me as a pragmatic moderate, with a dislike of political extremism.

But views vary from the position they view me from.

I don't need a newspaper to tell me what a fecking idiot looks like .

fred supports no party for he refuses to vote - as is his democratic right

however, apart from fred's occasional acolyte stan, i don't think he has any other supporters
it's not that some of the underlying points he wishes to raise do not have some merit, but fred is incapable of making an objective utterance, let alone anything half-way constructive, without destroying the whole argument by inserting a rather silly political snipe

as a result, i think few of fred's posts are read in their entirety - well certainly not by me - for they are truly monotonous and predictable
