The Euro is dead

They'll be fine

These things happen - then they turn around, then happen again..

And each is an opportunity to make even more money for very little effort.

It's boring until you're watching your own money going up and down with it.

Tennis is boring? Surely not

Cue all those *appreciators* of ladies tennis...

Volleyball´s better.

My hope is that the pound drops to below parity with the Euro as I have Euros to switch and I want the biggest bang for my euro buck.

I would buy now. You will be kicking yourself in six months..

Conpletely off topic but the other day I was wondering around curry's or maybe it was dixons anyway they had the 3d tv demos and of them was showing womens beach volley ball.

I am now saving all my money for a 3d tv

What's worrying for the £ is that despite all the turmoil in the eurozone you can only get exchange one pound for 1.17 euros.

I'm keeping my euros for later...

Not much turmoil here, except for a few Dutch far-right politicians that have been caught beating people up.

That's the world's most blatent attempt by a player to eavesdrop on the opposite team's tactical huddle. But it seems to be working.

Ah no, the one in orange with the admirable buttocks is on the same team; they all have some player called a 'libero' who wears kit with different colours to the rest. Don't ask me for the technicalities of volleyball though.

Domino rally anyone?

EU's Irish Rescue Fails to Stem Contagion; Spain Bonds Drop

Am I missing something here? Without killing the Euro there seem to be only two levers that the ECB/IMF/EU Governments can operate here:

1) Fecklessly throw more money at the problem, resulting in yet more dominos falling.

2) Say you're "very angry with the markets", and shake fists, etc.

Some f*ckers in the city are making a mint on all this aggro!

I'd shoot them first and then sort out the banks. During the war it was called profiteering!
