Greece; Know. Your. Place.

I'm afraid you can't attend international toga parties saying "Yes we are marvellous aren't we. Have you seen our marbles?" You are a lead weight round the neck of a continent. Or more specifically, a pissed of Union.

Today, after much lobbying and debate the German government agreed by majority to increase the bail out fund to £330 billion. If you'd like to see that numerically, just for impact, it looks like this; 330,000,000,000.

Greece; be in no doubt your decaying economy and infrastructure were at the very front of their minds when the Germans decided to put their hands in their pockets and fill that emergency pot up just a little bit higher...

And today's reports out of Athens?  Messages of love for the International support they're getting? Merkel posters and Hasselhoff albums selling out? No. Protesting. Protests focusing anger at the austerity plans implemented by the government.

Apparently these people are from the 'spend money to create work' philosophy. And it is a sound one. The ol' 'speculate to accumulate'. Thing is, you need to have something to speculate with, and Greece; you haven't got any fecking Money!

Anyway let's cut straight to it.  Protesters - You are not going to be remembered as part of the Arab Spring. I know your country is bitchingly hot, but you need better credentials than that to pull of regime change.

Suck it up and accept your country has to tighten its belt for a few years. If things mean you need International support well today that has been secured. Yes it will be unpleasant but it is necessary. You know what before you know it you'll be back at the party... and you might even have enough green in your pocket to buy Germany a drink.

Wrong Again...

Before I started the Second blog of my life, which this is, I read back my first.  Just to see how it read.  I was surprised it seemed to just encompass wanking and religion.  As far as complimentary subjects go I'm Not sure they're the most common bed fellows.  Seemed appropriate at the time though so...


I read another blog by a young lady who had spent the time sharing the details of her perfect man.  The contents could inspire and arm any young lad with the tools and knowledge to win the heart of his flame.  In a nutshell; Listening, tenderness, confidence and possibly listening again.  Another requirement was Christian.


Is that a reasonable request?  Is it not enough that a man lives his life in a truthful, honest and contentious way?  He has to perform irrational acts of worship too.  Going to a particular building on a Sunday, believing in immaculate conceptions, water to wine, parting of seas.  Gets a little fanciful after a while...  "To thy own self, be true."  That will just about do for me.  I'm not here to impress a deity.


Ohh, I've not named the young lady, she is completely entitled to chase whatever man she sees fit, or indeed thinks is fit, I just didn't realise young girls in the western world saw Christianity as a modern quality.  I guess I have just proved myself wrong again.  Hey, got to get stuff wrong or else I just won't learn.
