East 17 recently did a gig where only 30 people turned up, I imagine they were pushing it when they asked the crowd "won't you stay another day"
(13 Jul 2015, 10:51 am)Adam The Eurozone finally strikes a €86bn rescue bailout deal for Greece.In all seriousness doesn't thay make the recent referendum a joke, with the economic reforms the EU will want Greece to undertake, meaning more austerity when he was seemed to be campaigning against that
Hopefully Mr Tsipras will now be able to afford a tie to accompany his suit.

(13 Jul 2015, 11:50 am)Adam It does, yes.It has made me wonder if Yanis Varoufakis saw exactly this coming when he resigned...
It was too hastily arranged. The actual question on the paper was too "waffley", so it was pretty difficult for people to understand, but there was still an overwhelming 'no', contradictory to what all the pollsters were saying about it being 50:50.
It's now at the stage when Greece are having to do things they said they weren't, as you say: reforming pensions, privatising what's left of state assets, increasing tax etc etc. However, all of this still needs to be passed through the Greek parliament. Whether it will or not is a different matter, and is bound to have a serious debate and possibly a backlash against it.
The EU seem pretty happy with the deal, with Juncker saying "In this compromise, there are no winners and no losers". However, in my view, it's almost as if the Greeks have surrendered. They fought a hard war, but the pressure and arguably "bullying tactics" of the Eurozne won, leading the white flag to be waved.

(13 Jul 2015, 12:06 pm)Adam There may be more to Varoufakis' resignation. If I recall correctly, his reasoning was so that the country had a better chance of securing a deal, but conflicting reports suggested Tsipras effectively 'sacked' him. It may have been for the same reason.
It was always stressed by the Greek government that their referendum wasn't an 'in/out' vote, even though some suggested a 'no' vote would result in the 'Grexit'.

He's some bloke like though. He looks a bit like Voldemort and he rocked up at Downing Street once wearing a leather jacket and jeans.

A husband and wife are shopping. The husband picks up a 12 pack of beer, and puts it in the trolley. The wife asks, ''what do you think you're doing?''. The husband replies, ''they're on special, 12 for £10'', to receive a blunt ''put them back'' from his wife. A few minutes later, the wife puts a cosmetic item in the trolley. The husband asks, ''hang on, how much is it?''. His wife responds, ''£20.'' Stunned, he says ''and what do you need that for?!''. ''It makes me look beautiful'', she says. The husband responds, ''so does 12 cans of beer, and they're half the bloody price!!''.
I bought some'Jamie Oliver Sausages' yesterday. On the packet it said 'Prick with a fork'…. I thought, can't argue with that!

I had a row with my wife last night, she threw a bottle of fabric conditioner at me and it only just missed my head. It must have been Lenor because it was a bit too close for Comfort.

Two Thai girls asked me if I’d like to go bed with them; they said it would be just like winning Lotto! I agreed, and they were right. We all stripped off, and to my horror, we had six matching balls!

I love to pamper my girlfriend after she has had a stressful day at work...
I get her to text me just as she's leaving so I can get the hot water running, swirl around the foam and bubbles, and time everything perfectly so that, the moment she walks through the door, the dishes are piled up and waiting for her.
My friend said he was coming to a fancy dress party as Northern Rail. He never turned up.
