Loving it, kick the tax dodgers out of the euro, but let them stay in Euro La La Land.
Greece has now moved up to numba 1 slot in my list of options on where to head to if it all goes tits here.

It would seem the Greek government is still busy with a 'charm' offensive. "Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis said European action towards the country was "terrorism" in an interview with Spanish newspaper El Mundo and said a trillion euros would be lost if Greece was allowed to crash." uk.reuters.com/article/2015/07/04/uk-eurozone-greece-varoufakis-idUKKCN0PE0AI20150704Mind you, some of MoF Yanis talk is typical terrorist style "you force me to do this or that" as in ""Why have they forced us to close the banks?"

Havent had a decent kebabt since the last time I was in Pattaya, only 60 baht from the motorcycle guy outside The Wonderful Beer bar 2.
No wonder the tax dodgers have problems, can get a donner cheaper in Thailand that Greece. Then again Somchai was driving a Fino and not a Merc.
Bye bye Costas, nice knowing, see you again next month when you come cap in hand.
Welcome to reality.
Too be honest, I blame the bloody bankers, Herr Angela is only serving her masters.

According to BBC they haven't printed enough ballot papers. Perhaps they ran out of money.
Edit to add, another crunch day on the 25th, a payment due to the ECB

I am told that the Bubble government are in the process gathering in as many cowrie and conch shells as they can to be used as an alternative currency alternative to the drachma when the banks have run out of drachma. No doubt following the example of the establishment of the current Shell conglomerate. worked well for them didn't it

The Greek ballot offices are open from 11:00 till 23:00 (Thailand time). About 10 million Greeks are eligible to vote.
""On Sunday we should all send a message of democracy and dignity to the world," Tsipras told tens of thousands of Greeks rallying for a 'no' vote before campaigning ended."

Propaganda "“As of tomorrow we will have opened a new road for all the peoples of Europe,” he said after voting in Athens, “a road that leads back to the founding values of democracy and solidarity in Europe.”" uk.reuters.com/article/2015/07/05/uk-eurozone-greece-idUKKBN0P40FR20150705Is it a sign of democracy and solidarity when the rest of Europe decides not to give the Greeks any more money the rest of Europe has worked hard for ? Or is such an attitude too selfish for a former communist to accept? ADD: of course since I no longer will get my state pension when 65, but now have to wait till I'm 67 and 3 months may influence my sense of solidarity with those poor Greeks who demand money.

Just who is paying the bill for the counting and the paper?

THe Greek government organised the referendum, the Greek government pays. By end of the month the cheque will be in the mail. That is assuming the mail men haven't taken hold of the cheques in a solidarity move as they also wanted their wages to be paid

That would be interesting. The first country to use Bitcoin as it's sole currency. Wonder how that would work?
