Europe saved then?

[PAH]

Greek government spending has gone up by a considerable percentage since the last bailout. He reckons they feel safe in so doing because other governments are scared of wider impact if Greece fails.

Yep, looks like they've cottoned onto the whole 'too big to fail' ethos.

I was worried my warchest was in unsafe hands with it being in a bank, but now realise as banks are 'too big to fail' there's nothing to worry about.

I'm currently wondering how I too can become 'too big to fail'.

We will be back to this next year.

(Unless the olive market picks up considerably)

Should the European economy really fall apart as some panicmongers believe it will, those who can grow food will probably be better off than the rest of us.

No, those with guns will be the winners.

I'd fall at the first hurdle.

I don't do the last three anyway. Well maybe a quick test to make sure I've not done anything too obviously stupid. All other problems are found by the testers.

Code is 'self commenting' in that it's written in english. Also doubles as documentation. All other docs provided by the anal-ysts.

They've got all the ships so they will most likely "do a runner"

By contrast, Greek government spending has gone up by a considerable percentage since the last bailout.

Why make cuts when you can have an endless stream of cash coming from France/Germany instead.

But banks are slowing unwinding themselves of the toxic debt in other countries. When the risk of contagion becomes low enough... and the costs of continous bailouts become too high...

Beware of Greeks wanting gifts I say!!

They'll be crapping themselves in Troy.
