Not to forget the bikes and onions - or is that France. No offence intended to either Of course those absolutely essentials but it wouldn't be a complete surprise if they have ample stockpiles of those already - but also stocking up on stuff like food, water and energy etc. Along the lines of the UK miners dispute when coal was stockpiled.

Good point - but they didn't have much air-con even a few years ago - and they survived. They'll just have to go down to the beach to cool off. For the rest of the colder weather there's still coal and timber etc. Edited January 31, 2015 by billybong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybong Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) It's a bit of an impasse then. Maybe someone like Mr Scargill could step in as a mediator. There must be some mechanism for arbitration in the eu or did they think that they could just push everyone around for ever.

Steppenpig Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) I think he was right calling her rude. She asked a question half way through answering the question in a calm considered way she started her next question. They do this all the time. It drives me nuts. I think basically, no one gives a crap about the actual answers, they [edit: the newsreaders] just have to give the impression that they are making an effort and in charge. Another thing that really annoys me, is when they get some really interesting and important person on, and then they have to cut them short because there is some trivial piece about kittens or something they have to move onto. I don't think important foreign officials deserve more respect than normal folk, but they presumably have busy agendas, and if they've gone to the trouble of setting up an interview, you'd think it was worth more than two minutes discussion. BBC arrogance. Edited January 31, 2015 by Steppenpig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECB wants new Greek govt to quickly reach deal with creditors Thu Jan 8, 2015 Citing the country's central banker, the paper said the ECB will maintain its funding access to the nation's lenders as long as Athens remains under a bailout programme and continues to meet its obligations. "As regards the upcoming election, the ECB is not taking any side but wants whatever government emerges to be formed soon and complete negotiations with the (EU/IMF/ECB) troika so that there is agreement on the day after," Kathimerini said. I wonder when the ECB will be saying they want agreement by next month? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
