I think it was just on the radio that Greece are leaving the Euro and going to the Drachma as of tomorrow. Initial exchange rate 1:1.

... I should have listened a bit more carefully...
Indeed you should! That sort of information could cause Steffan to spontaneously combust !!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)

Another word that I like, that fits with the euro/Europe is
Ozymandian

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".

Not heard that, nor reported anywhere on the internet yet.Ben

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.

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.
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...
