So Emmett, I return to my previous notes about Greek society being fundamentally unwilling to play ball. Their position is they get a special deal.

Or more long term our annual political and economic bets for last few years where he ALWAYS loses. The man is a consistent charlatan. A convincing charlatan though.

X can be anything, any number, that is what’s CRAZY about X.
Because X doesn’t roll like that, because X can’t be pinned down!

Just finished the first episode of Mr Robot that a few people recommended on here recently. I hadn't any expectations because generally network TV stuff from America is rubbish but I really enjoyed it. Got vibes from loads of different things like Fight Club/Memento/Rubicon/Hackers all going on with a director who seems quite quirky with a cool style. Some of it is beautifully framed with some wonderfully creative scenes. It doesn't all work but overall it was pretty great.

Originally posted by hotspur View PostYeah me too, rope everytime trying to win on the crucial turn with patron. Requires a lot of practice to be comfortable enough to play it out naturally, and I realised I couldn't be bothered. It is an unfair deck though in what it can do.

I never realised so many people here played we should set up a gaming section

Fwiw nothing much has changed building wise in Dublin (other than terminal 2 was finally opened up) but it definitely feels a more happening optimistic place than when I left in the dregs of 2010. Considering the antics in Greece today I think we have done pretty well for ourselves.

I can't believe people on AH are supposedly fretting about Shanghai dropping sharply, or whether to trade on the euro tonight? If someone is genuinely contemplating these questions, asking them in AH is a bit like going down the Bookies to have someone to check your prostate."Worldly wisdom teaches that it is better for reputation to fail conventionally than to succeed unconventionally." - John Maynard Keynes

No chance another bailout package gets through the Bundestag imo.
Greeks have been sold an absolute lemon and it is pretty scary that they've swallowed it. Shows the desperation I guess!

The Cost of Populism
How Greece started to see some light at the end of a horrific tunnel, but instead turned around and ran.

Originally posted by LuckyLloyd View PostWell it does, but to me the Syrzia election and reaffirmation in today's vote is the Greek people looking the money machine square in the eye and saying 'we're not paying, your move'. It's mad stuff, but an unbelievable national statement in the face of the whole world who spent a week throwing a rule book and dire outcomes at them.

Originally posted by LuckyLloyd View PostYeah sure, their historic vote for the SNP a couple of months ago allied to recent polls showing a majority for independence again sure indicates that. The truth is they succumbed to scare mongering in the run up to the election, they lack conviction as a nation.

Scotland isn't even recognised as an independent country, they had their chance and they blew it in spectacular fashion, there can't be any more complaints. On the day of the referendum they were completely assimilated and it was the people themselves that decided this.Last edited by darwinatemyhamster; 05-07-15, 21:04.

Originally posted by darwinatemyhamster View PostFair enough for those that didn't but I'm with LL on this, I'm sure there were millions of Scots that were heartbroken when their fellow countrymen were told 'right lads, it's up to you' and decided to keep the status quo.

Originally posted by hotspur View PostNo, no, no everything political, economic, sport and otherwise is about standing up to a bully. The Scots were utter cowards not standing up to theirdadEnglish overlords.

Also I stand by my comments re: Cork. They're still muck. Played the game of their lives and Kerry still should have won it.
Kerry were gifted two goals by Cork and the ref today , both at stages where Cork were dominating. Don't see how Kerry ever should have won that game.The last 5 mins were a horror show for Cork and it will be hard for them to try and do it all again.
Also those salivating at the Dubs performances should have been brought back to Earth by the results of Kildare and Longford yesterday. The amount of goal chances given up by the Dublin defence against two very poor forward lines is a huge worry given the limited possession Kildare / Longford had in those games.

The biggest shame about the Scottish ref was the wording. It should not have been YES or NO. It should have been AYE or NAE .
The Greek vote makes the next few weeks very interesting . I'm off to Finland next week , looking forward to hearing their thoughts on this. Finns like their beer and their politics (usually in the Sauna)

Agree with you on Cork though , Kayroo obviously watching a different game.
