idun Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 The latest on french news tonight was that someone at least in Greece wants payment for the damage done in the war, as in WW11, which would be a lot of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 It didn't work.The illustration was of a totem pole housing a colony of birds who had, let's say, been feasting on over ripe fruit.Germany was "top" bird with, on the next rung down, France and GB. Guess which four nations were on the lowest rung. [:'(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the EU/IMF pay this money to Greece having now got all the Germany prompted requests for assurances from the Greek political parties to stick to the rules appertaining to the bail out after future elections this year ......... Can someone tell me what these assurances will mean if a few tanks are rolled out and a bunch of Generals sit stone faced side by side in the parliamernt buiilding announce they are running the country and then say they they never siged up to anything ? Perhaps there is a bit of paper going the rounds of the military right now asking for them to please agree to Germany's conditions for the bail out ?.... But as the Generals seem to be pollishing their buttons at the moment ...I cant see them stopping to sign anything . Perhaps the Germans know how much brasso the Generals have just bought and would like to hang onto the money a bit longer ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
