I would say on a night out in Dublin less than 50% of the pubs I would go to would give me a receipt.

If the Greeks think that they are being screwed by the EU, why do they want to stay in the EU?

Dan Jaman

Great; bring up the spectre of a world war. Just what's needed.

It's not the Vietcong Joe that caused the trouble in Greece.

Because they want to get more money that they don't have to pay back.

If they lose the vote I can see Varoufakis jumping on his motorbike and doing a wheelie outside the houses of parliament before setting off in to the sunset.

We owe €60k a head, they owe €40k a head, we are borrowing more than we take in and the future looks like this will continue for decades, that would be a worse position in my view.

ThisRegard

They'll be split Joe when the kids and mothers are brought to the concentration camp, like these 2 expect Joe.
