    I'd probably wait until after a while after Martial Law is declared :money:.

    Never at this rate.

    Cost me £6 for a small bag of nuts last time I was there. It ain't cheap.

    Also when they do pull out and they're looking around for ways to survive, would you want to be the foreign one that doesn't understand what they're talking about whilst they're pointing at your house ?
    Proudly voted remain. A global union of countries is the only way to commit global capital to the rule of law.

    Should drive there with a lorry load of nuts. Make a fortune.

    Of course it is.

    This is the first year in Hamish's annual forecast thread that I've forecast they'll stay in, therefore there's bound to be a Grexit:o.

    Shouldn't that be the One Lepta Club?

    Yes, but at least Greece scored a goal. That's doubled their total in the qualifiers so far.:)

    P.S. The Faroe Islands had already beaten Greece in Greece.

    Maybe a little bit conspiracy theorist but..

    ...Anyone else thought that people could be making money on the back of all this?

    On Thursday it was announced that a deal from the EU was very very close. That the EU had accepted that Greece needs room to grow aswell as pay debts.

    Stock markets jumped. Some up 13% I read.

    The very next day after a few hours of trading, the whole thing was back to usual. The IMF were now refusing to even speak to the Greeks and it all looked bad again. Stock markets plunged.

    This has happened on more than a handful of occasions. You can almost predict that the day following the news that things are looking up, there will be a fallout the next and were back to square one.
