When the debtors are allowed to run the Central Banks, then you know what to expect from that. The ECB may be called European Central Bank, but Draghi after all is Italian in the first.

Well then clever clogs what are the UK National Lottery winning numbers this Saturday are? :03:

You know you're Greek when you share a bathroom with your 5 brothers, have no money, but drive a £45,000 Audi.

They do this too to evade taxes.

At least the "job creators" are the same all around the world.

Quite crafty but understandable the world over....paying taxes appeals to so very few of us :DL

nah, military coup is out of question...
its just a move possibly used to cause more confusion within the Greeks because at least here we still remember the 70s etc
anyways now its just again a big mess ( hm, as always) now in Greece. It seems that in the end the referendum wont pass, 4 decemeber was a possible date. Instead we probably go to election, get right wing national governement that will stick up to the same nevertheless. It seems that the latest fuss just pleases speculators...

Eventually this government or the other party 'new democracy' will keep on same route: slowly selling out Greece. Yesterday Papandreou gave a speech but to me did not sound good, or at least still a suspicious in some aspects ( that were reliable ...bla bla. that was an immense feat to take such big loans etc ).
PASOK or NEW DEMOCRACY, things wont change much... this 2-pole-fight and insistence to keep the seat is killing Greece, the Greeks. furthermore, all other little political parties carry some diverse ideas, and /or clearly can't be ready to rule.
IMHO, better that greek people get the referendum, have them have a say ( and see if they will be fooled or not, its up to them).
To me a ''coup d'etat''/something crucial/a sudden change might be needed (when we get to extremes) as until now nothing much has changed, just wages go down, people work less, the system gets less efficient and more CORRUPT ( i have people that experience it), the wrong attitude is still holding, education gets messed up, possible good students cant keep up to university because of increase of cost of life ( and to note, in universities, professors, university founds there is a huge criminality/injustice hidden in backgound) and the whole situation is still getting much worse rather than being reversed. Greeks have to change attitudes and values IMHO in order to reverse such things and corruption, clearly in this way not much is being done.

We have same **** since decade. We need to flush the toilet in order to get rid of it. As its a toilet, eventually it will come again ( better or worse than previous one?) unless something crucial happens.

{If its a secession, and we look back at our recent history, something bad may occur ( unless we do few to none mistakes).
[a strange though i just come up with.my dilemma if i look in bigger picture is: stay on sinking ship, or get out of it risking to be eaten by sharks?]}

EU deal announced

Super soft cotton toilet paper and a Greek to wipe there behinds.

Berlusconi could launch a career in selling grease and slime. Expert that he is for that, he would make a second fortune that way.

Oberon 11-04-11 06:02 PM

Looks like Papandreou has squeaked through a vote of no-confidence.

STEED 11-04-11 06:03 PM

Greek PM George Papandreou has won the vote.

For 153

Against 145

andritsos 11-04-11 06:05 PM

he just managed to get through the confidence vote, so it seems that nothing major will change, apart the fuss and confusion that was made. seems no referendum and also no elections...

It seems the party rebels realised that they would not win early elections now, and so decided to stay in "power".

What now my dear?
