Surely The Bubbles Arent That Stupid

[bazwillrun]

and really think the eussr will kick them out ?

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/economics/11689460/Greeks-make-last-ditch-Merkel-appeal-as-day-of-reckoning-approaches.html

the last thing the eussr wants is to lose nations...theyll take it to the wire and "do a deal"...and from that moment on theyve got Greece under the thumb..literally...total control as a reward for "helping save Greece"

if the Greeks had any sense theyd get out now, suffer some pain and gradually get their country back under their control not the empire builders of the eussr

I think they're resigned to going anyway. This a last-ditch thing. I also get the feeling that Germany is fed-up with the whole scene and may just shrug and say, OK - so what!

This is, of course, just a nebulous feeling. I'm sure calm, economy-aware brains are busy all the time with calculations. We shall see - but I think they'll go. Don't mind being wrong :)

Greece has been sponging off EU money for years. They need the EU more than the EU needs it.
If they were to leave the EU they'd go down the pan and they know it. The problem is that Syriza will also lose credibility with the voters
But this scenario was inevitable when they came to power

[Svejk]

Can Merkel afford, politically, to keep baling them out.
I'd imagine a lot of hard working German taxpayers look down on the non-taxpaying, early retiring Greeks with disdain. (not my views)

[ichkeria]

Something we can agree on there Svejk :-)
I've seen some interviews with Greeks recently tho and it interesting that many are now questioning themselves and the way they have 'managed' their economy for so long

[Svejk]

Hooray. ;)

[Zacs-Master]

Baz, I was with you right up until 'gradually get their country back under their control' which is a very tall order.

Bubbles?

[ichkeria]

Bubble and squeaks Greeks
Hilarious don't you think

[tonyav]

Cockney rhyming slang, wolf. Bubble and squeak = Greek.

[ichkeria]

Thru don't actually want to be kicked out of the EU
They want to have their cake and eat it as the saying goes

[wolf63]

Thanks for the translation - I couldn't work out the link.

[Pete65]

Nor me.
Bit pointless.
Bubbles? Posted in News!

[hc4361]

Nor me.

[Gromit]

Bubbles...? Eussr....?

Any chance that you could post again in some intellible form of English.

[SirOracle]

Totally agree Gromit,it annoys me too.

I think it is an intelligence thing (or rather a lack of it ).

[mushroom25]

likelihood is both sides will fudge the issue and the greek government will get an extra 6 months to reach an agreement.

[ummmm]

This is the perfect example as to why you shouldn't use slang!!

What's so hard about typing in a language that everyone understands?

It's notable that the only people on AnswerBank who feel the need to use derogatory names for peoples/nations seem to be right-wingers. It appears that they can't refer to Americans (Yanks) in any way other than as 'septics', on the basis of 'septic tanks', or to Scots (Jocks) without calling them 'sweaties' on the basis of 'sweaty socks'. The same 'rule' applies to 'bubbles', of course. It's just slack thinking on their part, I suppose.

"It's notable that the only people on AnswerBank who feel the need to use derogatory names for peoples/nations "

oh do me a favour...you really need to get a life..derogatory...
I can feel the self righteous indignation from here...

and for those that didnt know that bubbles was greeks... never mind...try getting out a tad more eh !

"Any chance that you could post again in some intellible"
sorry old boy I would answer but intellible doesnt mean anything to me, and not in my dictionary, so not really sure what youre getting at....

always the same old leftie dullards moaning and complaining and making sure to be offended by anything and everything at all possible times...luv it !
