    Is Greece broke enough that I can buy a nice house with a sea view for a pittance yet?

    Yeah, but that is a pretty strange move which doesn't fit with the rest of the party's profile. It makes me wonder if they will try and legalise slavery at the same time, or declare women to be property.

    I think they're doing it because it costs them very little political capital to sort it out, and very little money. They get to appear progressive about something and not have it cost them anything. I still appreciate that Cameron's doing it, though. It's an excellent move.

    The Greece thing is annoying. The populace have made it clear that they will not pay back any money we give them, and then we give them more money.
    This is what confuses me most. "Oh the but president has told us they are going to pay" but he's elected democratically and his voters have made it abundantly clear they are never going to accept his promises. They'll either get him out of office now or they'll do it during the next elections.

    It's time to let those isles fend for themselves. Let Athens rebuild the city state and we might do business with them and we'll let Kreta in the union if it means they'll continue to amuse our tourists and keep the damned Russians out of the resorts.

    I should probably read that thread to find out what you're talking about. But sexual metaphors and innuendo in Latin poems about dinner-parties actually seems more interesting for a change.

    As far as I can tell, completely unrelated.
    Edit: At this point I'm ready to dismiss the whole story as fiction because frankly I can't find a single source of what that proposal is actually about.

    Greece is as expensive as ever and people outside Athens don't give a fuck about anything.

    I'm remembering the fuss about whether Athens would be ready for the 2004 Olympics, and the rumours of a terror strike there.

    Listening to Alex Salmond on the Today programme this morning; not his best interview ever, though it was concentrating on the independence thing which is a bit silly cos they said even before the election that the vote wouldn't be until the second half of their term.

    NUH HUH. It's Hannibal. Obviously. Hannibal is:

    The Leader of the pack, the recognised Alpha Male of the group who dominates through force of his awesome peresonality.
    Has white hair but the cool Steve Martin kind, not the old man kind.
    Smoke enormous cigars with obvious relish.
    Is a master of disguise, like Sherlock Holmes.
    Is played by George Peppard.
    Is the guy who shoots the M60, rather than the others, who only get to fire M16's.
