Well yeah hence saying it's looking like a no. The ranges seem to favour no.

Lets get back to discussing journal entries. How Greece could be saved / put out of their misery by a few ECB JEs. But the EU / ECB scum won't do them. What a pack of c++ts. Can we all agree that the EU are run by a pack of scum bags. That only look after their corporate mates And that the decent, ...

If you think market competition could have driven mortgage rates below base, I don't think you understand the interest rate point. As for the rest,... No I don't.

England and France don't have the infrastructure? OK then. Well then explain why you need up to 3 countries with combined populations in the 70 odd million range to host a rugby world cup you mong.

Here's an example of why stupidity was a major driver of the buddle and subsequent collapse. The top jobs at the department of finance - governor of the central bank and the regulator - were traditionally given to people from within the system. No academic ability or foreign experience required. Goo...

Have you concrete examples of corruption?

Two problems with that: 1. You're assuming that our moronic leaders would have adjusted policy any better than our European leaders. 2. Having their own currency didn't stop Iceland getting into trouble. Your problem wasn't stupidity. It was that far too many of your political class and economic le...

Haven't used it in years but the paypal API does record things like currency used, exchange rate and payment address. Not asking them for the info is probably more user friendly but might be more difficult to do if his programmer isn't familiar with the API. The quick fix is a dropdown menu in the s...

The strongest Greek "native" sector is their shipping industry, which I understand enjoys tax free status in Greece. Might that be a target for the IMF/ECB/EU ? To tax ? Do that and they'll pack their bags and move elsewhere. Is that not what they've done already though. The company is just registe...

Getting the customers to identify their location... it sounds just crazy enough to work. Two issues: first, the trigger for the transaction is the payment to Paypal who, with the best will in the world, aren't going to include a bespoke location tick box on the checkout page. And second, even if it...

I think the EU/ECB will takeover the IMF debt before it becomes a full default. Might save Lagardes job and Europes position in the IMF. Services rendered etc.

If Tsipras doesn't realize that a no vote Sunday means "euro out, drachma in", he's a dumbshit. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say he does realize that, he just knows he can't say it publicly because he wants austerity gone, euro gone, and bring back drachma for what he sees as best for...

So, Greece don't want to pay , don't want to lose their sovereignty and don't want to lose the Euro? How very Greek. Can't pay. There is a big difference. They need to roll the debt over at lower or zero interest rates. In other words have the ECB buy Greek bonds at low / zero interest Won't pay. T...

So, did the IMF get their money? Deadline isn't for another hour; in any event, and I know it's semantics, but the IMF have said they won't be in default, but in arrears. Until the result of Sundays referendum, I suppose. Calling it arrears instead of default is like calling a blockade a quarantine...

Just reading on the FT, apperntly Tspiras sh*t himself Sunday and sent a letter to the president of the council (Donald Tusk) requesting an extension until after the referendum.

All this talk of Greece going back to the Drachma has reminded me of the rumours on boards.ie a few years back that there were convoys of Securicor vans heading from the airport to the Central Bank and we were going to wake up one morning to find we had reverted to the Punt :lol: That's kind of how...

Apparently Varoufakis went on morning Ireland last Friday and described Noonan as being totally in the the dark. In which case it's understandable he takes a swipe at them. I didn't hear it, red about it one of Dan O'Briens articles. Anyone catch it.

Why all the debate about taxing in Drachmas or Euros?
