        Looks pretty serious from where I'm sitting. Chiefs of staff sacked in Greece today. Were they planning a coup?

        Looking like tonight and tomorrow will be very "interesting". I'm going to stock up on tinned food.

          Doomsnight will be good again tonight then. I was wondering whether we'd get a quiet week.

            I think the referendum is a typically Greek negotiating tactic. If you do business with Greeks, when you think the deal is done and you've committed yourself to your side of things, they come back at the last moment with some strange demand. Unfortunately he's being a bit extreme here and putting an atom bomb under the whole European economy when he could just throw a hand grenade.

            He needs a couple of concessions, sweeteners and face saving agreements and then it'll be OK; disappointing that European politicians seem to have so little understanding of doing business internationally that they're all panicking.

                Fascinating to see "proper" history being played out in real time.

                I voted UKIP. "Schadenfreude" is my middle name these days.

                  I think they should offer the greeks a new deal along the lines of telling them to **** off, lend the 100 billion to the banks that take a hit when greece goes under, and close the borders. Let the silly ***** rot.
                  While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
