Sorry I was engrossed in the Bwoston twang, has Damo managed to find an Irish bar owner in Greece? Well, it's good to see Joe left the playbook behind him when he went on holidays.

Greece sounds like Ireland so Mike.

Irish people always paid their taxes:rolleyes:

They know they have to change......... doesn't sound like it to me..

Did they build anything flash in Greece during the good times to blow the money? Seems to be no big property splash out or ghost airports built.

ButtersSuki · 22-06-2015 01:52PM

Has Mike been drinking already?

I should ring Joe. Three of my Bwoston cousins (male) from the same family all died in their 20s from an incurable disease passed from mother to son (there were no other children). Then their mom died. Their "fadder" when in his 70s remarried a 20something (he's loaded, but she loved him).

All of that, and you never rang Joe?!!:eek: You need some pretext to get on I suppose, but once you are on and start that story, he'll run with it. Respond to a first caller, whatever the subject, and you should get 70 minutes. Do up some notes of details and have them beside the phone with you. As soon as he's back from his holidays, go for it.

Social welfare is cut here too after 9 months.

I was in Athens for a week in 2008. It looked like Beiruit.

The Acropolis. Looking at its condition, it looks like a cheap job, badly regulated and inspected.

Wasn't it 3 grand for a 5 course wedding reception meal and wine for 70 people?

That's cause they shut down their national broadcaster for two years. So sensible. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellenic_Broadcasting_Corporation

Nice stereotyping. All Irish are heavy drinkers I suppose.

Sure they were. It meant less tourists for them. Yep, it's all our fault that their economy went to hell. A wet weekend in Cashel, rather than a warm week in Crete made all the difference.

Atlantic Dawn · 22-06-2015 01:59PM

If he's getting €20 a month and that's it he is a lazy ballix, why doesn't he sell stuff on the Greek Donedeal or wash windows etc etc. He should read that fine book Penny Apples from one William Cullen.

Fujitsu10 · 22-06-2015 01:59PM

pensions at 45, sounds a bit like the Garda deal..

sligojoek · 22-06-2015 01:59PM

There won't be a run on the banks there till Josephous Duffiopoulos says so, so to speak
