A payment scheduled under the first scheme HAS NOT HAPPENED because the EU HAVE REFUSED TO PAY IT.Originally posted by russell View PostDoes any of that sound to you like they have been refused a bailout?
That sounds a lot like they have been refused the bailout funds to me. What does it sound like to you? A cheesecake? A virgin having her first shuddering orgasm?While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

Refused bailout funds, no one is arguing that you plonker . Suitsyou said there was no bailout. There has been 2 bailouts agreed, Greece have accepted them, the rest is horse trading.Originally posted by doodab View PostA payment scheduled under the first scheme HAS NOT HAPPENED because the EU HAVE REFUSED TO PAY IT.

OK lets assume you two tards are right and there is no bailout from the EU, then Greece should be bankrupt in the next few days? Lets wait and see who is right.

An insight into how your pea brain interprets things. Explains a lot. My position is Greece won't go bankrupt in the next few days as they have been bailed out. There are still payments to be paid out as per the agreement.Originally posted by suityou01 View PostTwunt : Greece have been bailed out.

Your position is they are not being bailed out. You can conjure up as many of your retard sockies as you want, but you are still wrong.Comment

Nobody said there "was no bailout". They said it hadn't happened. Which is correct, because they haven't actually been given the money they need to pay their bills and if they don't get it then they will be unable to pay them. Greece haven't actually accepted the terms of the second deal as you seem to think, and they haven't adhered to the terms of the first deal either, which is why the EU are withholding funds due under the first deal and demanding a written agreement.Originally posted by russell View PostRefused bailout funds, no one is arguing that you plonker .

If the next tranche of money (from the first bailout deal) isn't forthcoming in time then they should be forced into default shortly before Christmas. Personally I expect them to knuckle down and do what the EU expects, but then I never expected the last clown to call a referendum or for them to continue rattling the bars of their cage after he stepped down so at this stage I wouldn't be entirely surprised if the deal collapses.Originally posted by russell View PostOK lets assume you two tards are right and there is no bailout from the EU, then Greece should be bankrupt in the next few days?

Is there a bailout deal? Yes, nobody is denying that. The point is that the payments due to be paid out earlier this month have not been paid, so they have only been bailed out until December 16th or so. The payment due earlier this month that was supposed to take them beyond that point has been withheld, and until it's forthcoming there is still a possibility that the deal could unravel. Nobody is saying it will, or has, but it's not the done deal you seem to think.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

I said they had been bailed out so wouldn't be going pop soon. You agree with me as they have been bailed out to at least December. I hope that clears it up.Originally posted by suityou01 View PostSo they'll be going pop any time soon then?
