    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Greece a lot more ****ed than we are. So they've let it get to this stage and haven't done anything. So nyah.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Greece is in a considerably crappier position than we are.

    All the same, I've been collecting rubble for hefting at black marias and learning to make home made explosives, for the riots in 2012 when FF are inexplicably voted back in.

    You do wonder sometimes about Irish people. As one Greek woman said, I am not going to sit on my couch.

    She's got my number! :pac:

    I'm not sure what this thread is getting at. Greece is a f***ing basket case when it comes to running it's ecomony, especially in regards to taxation where dodging taxes has become an art form. They can protest all they want but they haven't a leg to stand on.

    you've misinterpreted it... Greece are saying that they are not like the Irish, who appear to be taking things lying down, complacently etc. not living up to the legendary status that we have of being 'the fighting Irish'

    Greece had weekly riots, even when there was no economic crisis.

    Thats right: weekly riots.

    or maybe, you know, the majority of Irish people realise that we are in shit, the problem wont solve itself, and while we dont like it, we know that things have to change.

    the Greeks aren't doing themselves any favours.

    Greeks, pfffttt.

    It's all been downhill since the king Uranus had his penis cut off with a scythe (which was given to him by his mother Gaia) by his son Cronos if you ask me....


    Strange how Greek mythology is actually considered that, yet the story of some chap who multiplies bread and fish is taken to be the truth by people.

    Strange old world.

    Greece is just more fecking deluded than Ireland is.

    Put the IMF in and let them riot.

    Bad and all as Ireland is, riots in the street wont put potential investors at ease.
    Silly Greeks...

    Yes...because I am preparing my soul for heaven....

    It is a wonderful place where you eat ice cream all day and there are 50 virgins waiting for you to choose from every minute of every day...


    It's supposed to be ironic.

    I'll give you a definition, just in case. ;)

    the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning: the irony of her reply, “How nice!” when I said I had to work all weekend.

    'this is Greece, not Ireland, we'll fight back' - the ironic thing being that by 'fighting back', they are only contributing to their demise.
