Greece defaults!

[sasguru]

Living in those cities is not the same as working in them, weekend trippers do not integrate. Typical.

Yes Billy no Mates

Back on topic.

If Greece defaults, it will be the economical equivalent of a parakeet farting quietly in some distant corner of a rain forest. The markets know how fooked Greece is, and have priced it in.

Now, if Italy were to hit the buffers ........ And this is where the real fear is.

The US will never default. Can't happen. They are and have been in technical default for about 18 months, and just keep moving the goalposts of what defines technical default. S&P may downrate them, which everyone says is bad, but I can't see if being the financial armaggedon that people are worried about.

Here's my considered opinion.

IT'S ONLY A ******* NUMBER!

This number can and will be adjusted.

The world as we know it won't end.

Now, which one of you lovely young ladies is going to put the kettle on? Oh, and fetch the digestives I seem to be having a little flatulence problem this morning, there's a love.

If anyone downgrades the US credit rating from AAA I suspect we might find the head of that credit rating agency has suddenly and without warning decided to commit suicide. Probably stab themselves 50 times in the heart and neck and then hang themselves etc.
