Who is noticable by his absense here for a little while, maybe he already has !? ( Read a few random pages of this topic if you don't know who Steffan is) As mentioned it was Jeremy Vine so it doesn't pay to listen too carefully.....

Vine is a turnip, almost Peston Lite, but not lite on the toadweasel elements.

PRTVR said: Shelley said: I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
`My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away".

Ben Not heard that, nor reported anywhere on the internet yet. Ah seems the Jeremy Vine show was a discussion about 'what if it leaves', I should have listened a bit more carefully. Ben I thought it was well done and effective. The great irony is that it was actual a repeat from a feature run last December predicting such events. so Jeremy Vine is more switched on the European politicians....and the Greek People.

He parrots mostly what the programme team of biased bbc apparatchiks prepare for him, adding his own unique brand of political neutrality champagne socialism here and there while taking calls from carefully selected fully representative listeners the usual bunch of mainly left wing gobheads. Having had more doses of that dizzy mix of 'current affairs beeb stylee' it only ever gets airtime on journeys or in the office by accident. Watching RT will get a more balanced picture of just about anything.

I wonder how Target2 is coping with all the flows of Euros to Germany and into German bonds?
Follow the money - the settlement system must have the answers.

Boss of Bankia is apparently running around screaming "DON'T PANIC! DON'T PANIC!" in a Dad's Army style. Possibly. Bankia said: Depositors at Bankia can be absolutely reassured that their savings are safe.

So we can enjoy the spectacle of Driller getting his knickers in a twist about us referring to the remainder as the PIIS. JOBAT

Taken from the famous Banking Timeline.. [i]7.Part-nationalisation of the bank is announced and taxpayers are told that a profit will result from this sound and wise investment. 8. Full nationalisation is announced to the sound of teeth being pulled without any anaesthetic. 9. Debt costs of the relevant sovereign nation rises. 10. Consequently that nation finds that its credit rating is downgraded.[/i] Hmmm, I don't think it will be long before that nice Senor Ahoy will be picking up the phone to Christine L'orange at the IMF...

Lord Lawson on News 24 referred to the Euro as a "Doomsday machine". Quite apt.
