Greek elections

[Spanky Longhorn]

Are they supposed be doing the usual thing?

yes, that's why the markets don't seem that bothered.

See edit though, I don't think they've got a choice

 

[Pickman's model]

I'm going on holiday with Phil

yeh he'll "show you a good time".

They should pick their fights carefully, there are some big ones that carry most of the potential. Lets just hope that in avoiding various 'trap fights' they don't make a wrong choice.

Anyway, probably too early for me to say much, gotta see if the state sucks the unusual out of them, and how quick.

 

[friedaweed]

Why don't you come too?

Fun and sunshine, there's enough for everyone

Euclid Tsakalotos, a British-trained economist who rose out of the anti-globalisation movement, became deputy minister in charge of international economic relations.

First A/G activist to move into Government level in Europe?

Well, I'm off to Thessaloniki tomorrow for a 2-day meeting followed by 2 days of hanging around. Given that the last time I went to Greece a war broke out (UK, Falklands....) I'll be interested to see what happens

Stay on this thread we are writing it, or rather those who know things are doing so.

Ive not been to Bodrum since '95 when I got so drunk I ended up running shouting from a cafe after paying my bill and knocking the table over and fending off people who were just trying to help me up

Spanky should come too, and repeat his old "pay first, run later" trick. I'd like to see that.

Trouble is, no decent restaurant will serve Pickman's. Maybe we should just get a takeaway.

How were the ministerial posts actually chosen? I have read an article that there isn't one woman in the 12 main ministerial posts, only in deputy roles. I am not suggesting that a 50/50 split would be somewhat more progressive or that there is any sexism but it is interesting to note.

Mmm, don't do 'eating out' but it's a fair guess any restaurant (or even a chippy) wouldn't want to host a a group of three or mair urbanites, even most greasy spoons have standards
Spoons, on the other hand, logical gathering ground

you just want to show friedaweed a good time on the beach. that's the only reason you're angling for a takeaway.
