The Cypriot cabinet has declared Tuesday a bank holiday, for fear of capital flight, and this may even be stretched to Wednesday, as depositors are certain to withdraw huge sums from the Cypriot banks after the haircut imposed.

They are now saying that they cannot get enough votes to pass this bill... It really is the worst case scenario because everybody will STILL take their cash out whenever the banks allow them yet they won't have the 5B they were planning to steal... ::)

Looking from afar there's so much idiocies in all this. There is an effin great Cyprus bill to be paid by someone(s) and seems that haircut has been rumoured for ages but how can your president give an assurance on March 7th (http://english.cntv.cn/20130308/101001.shtml) that this won't happen and then agree it and not resign and/or cut off his own head?

No, as far as I can tell nothing gets paid and you cannot use credit or debit cards... It is a bank holiday today so hard to tell...
It is only the south affected - not the 'occupied areas' in the North of Cyprus....

Pension payments to expat Britons in Cyprus will be suspended until the island's parliament votes on a proposed savings levy drawn up as part of a bail-out package, MPs have been told.
Greg Clark, a Treasury minister, said payments due today had been frozen to ensure that money from the Government reached its intended recipient.
Payments will resume once the situation becomes clear, Mr Clark said, adding that it is possible to change the designated bank account online.
Mr Clark told MPs the situation in Cyprus remained "fluid" in the wake of the bail-out proposals from the eurozone over the weekend, aimed at preventing the country's banks from going bust.
Making a Commons statement, Mr Clark said: "Today is a bank holiday in Cyprus and to ensure any payments made by the Government to banks in Cyprus get to the intended recipient, all future pension payments paid by the Government to British citizens in Cyprus will be temporarily put on hold until least tomorrow.
"This allows us to take stock of developments in Cyprus. Any UK pensioners in Cyprus can be assured their future pension payments are being held safely and the normal payment service will resume when the situation in Cyprus becomes clear.

Breaking: Eurozone finance ministers have ended their video conference call on the Cyprus crisis.
And the big news is that the Eurogroup have apparently agreed to give Cyprus more flexibility on its bank levy. As long as it hits the 5.8bn target. And it appears that tomorrow's vote in parliament still goes ahead.
That's according to a source in the Greek finance minister, interviewed by Reuters.
Here are the latest snaps off the Reuters terminal:
EUROGROUP MEETING ON CYPRUS OVER, EUROGROUP GIVES CYPRUS MORE FLEXIBILITY ON BANK LEVY - GREEK FINMIN SOURCE
EUROGROUP TO SAY THAT CYPRUS SHOULD SAFEGUARD PROTECTION OF DEPOSITORS BELOW 100,000 EUROS - GREEK FINMIN SOURCE
CYPRUS PARLIAMENTARY VOTE ON BANK LEVY TO TAKE PLACE ON TUESDAY, AS PLANNED - GREEK FIN MIN SOURCE
CYPRUS SHOULD STILL RAISE 5.8 BILLION EUROS FROM THE BANK LEVY AS PLANNED - GREEK FINANCE MINISTRY SOURCE

Rating agency Fitch has put three Cyprus banks - Bank of Cyprus, Cyprus Popular Bank and Hellenic Bank - on Rating Watch Negative while the bailout drama plays out.
In a statement, Fitch said it took the move because of Cyprus's decision to tax savers (by turning a percentage of their deposits into equity). It also suggested that it could downgrade the banks to 'restricted default' if this occurs.
Fitch said:
Quote
The Negative Watches will be resolved after a decision by the Cypriot parliament on the above extraordinary measures, which could come as early as today.
The crystallisation of such significant losses on depositors would constitute a restricted default (RD) under Fitch's rating definitions, in which case the IDRs [individual default ratings] would be downgraded to 'RD'.

On another angle this is an interesting read (http://www.bankofcyprus.com/Documents/Investor%20Relations/Financial%20information/English/9M12%20FS_ENG.pdf) esp the balance sheet on page 5 and then notes 5 and 11. Anyone reading that then put any serious money in a Cyprus bank would be certifiable esp after on Feb 28th they announced they were unable to publish their compulsory account filing.

The President of the Republic, Mr Nicos Anastasiades, is continuing intensive deliberations with and briefing of Heads of States and European Officials regarding the climate that has been created after the Eurogroup decision of last week and in view of the expected meeting of the House of Representatives this evening.
Last night the President had a telephone conversation with the German Chancellor Mrs Merkel whom he briefed about the current situation in Cyprus. The President informed the Chancellor that the possibility was considered to cut the loan needs through Cypriot funds.
The President of the Republic is expected to have another conversation with Mrs Merkel today and he will continue his contacts with other leaders as well.
Meanwhile the Finance Minister, Mr Michalis Sarris, is leaving for Moscow today where he will meet with his Russian counterpart Mr Anton Siluanov.

Two rumours, both currently unsubstantiated, are to blame.
1) that the Cypriot finance minister Michalis Sarris, has offered to resign, but has had the offer rejected by president Anastasiades.
This is running on several newswires, but we don't yet have any official confirmation.
2) That the vote on the bailout package will go ahead tonight, but that the government MPs will not support the plan, meaning it certainly fails.
That's via the BBC's Athens correspondent, Mark Owen.

Actually, the economy was not so week... it is only the exposure of the banks to the Greek banks that has really fucked us up...
However, the uro and recent austerity measures have completely fucked the place up as far as tourism goes...

It's not easy to work out how a country actually can change currencies if everyone knows that'the real reason is to devalue. A massive run on the banks would precede it. You might just as well do what Aniseedballs first thought of. Ad that's just so popular isn't it.
A president who makes an international deal he then cannot get a single MP to vote for, that's got to be a first.

And on that subject, it seems likely they will remain closed until at least the end of the week. (And with Monday being a bank holiday, possibly longer).

No excuse me for being all rich man eye of needle like but being like Donald Trump isn't exactly my idea of what an orthodox church should be.
They certainly have loadsacash and land... huge churches are springing up all over the place - there must be money in hatchings, matchings and despatching because it certainly doesn't come from the five old ladies dressed in black that go to services on a Sunday... noooo:

BIG NEWS: The European Central Bank has announced that it has agreed to continue supplying emergency funding to Cyprus's banks until next Monday.
But if the bailout hasn't been agreed by then, the ECB would step away. It's quite an ultimatum.
Here's the statement:
Quote
The Governing Council of the European Central Bank decided to maintain the current level of Emergency Liquidity Assistance (ELA) until Monday, 25 March 2013
Thereafter, Emergency Liquidity Assistance (ELA) could only be considered if an EU/IMF programme is in place that would ensure the solvency of the concerned banks.
That sets Nicosia a clear deadline -- find 6bn by next week, in a way that satisfies the IMF and the European Union, or your banks collapse.

Key event
If the ECB does pull the plug then there could be turmoil in Cyprus next Tuesday, when the banks were scheduled to finally reopen.
And the deposit guarantee scheme which is meant to protect depositors in the event of a bank collapse could quickly be proved worthless.
As Frances Coppola (a former banker) has blogged about here, deposit guarantee schemes are only as good as the national government who stands behind them. And Cyprus does not appear to have the assets to hand to cover the deposits in its banking sector:
So, Coppola explains:
Quote
It is time that depositors were told the truth. The lack of a common deposit insurance scheme in the Eurozone means that deposit insurance is a luxury available only to those countries that can afford it - which are also the countries that least need it. Everywhere else, it is a sham.
Potentially awful news for Cypriots, as well as thousands of ex-pats from the UK and beyond.

During the call, which took place last night, officials admitted they were "in a mess" as they discussed whether capital controls (limits on bank withdrawals and cash movements) could protect the country.
Cyprus didn't attend the call - another worrying sign - as other officials talked about the risk of the country quitting the eurozone.
Reuters reports:
Quote
In detailed notes of the call seen by Reuters, one official described emotions as running "very high", making it difficult to come up with rational solutions, and referred to "open talk in regards of (Cyprus) leaving the euro zone".
The call was among members of the Eurogroup Working Group, which consists of deputy finance ministers or senior treasury officials from the 17 euro zone countries as well as representatives from the European Central Bank and the European Commission. The group is chaired by Austria's Thomas Wieser.
Cyprus decided not to take part in the call, a decision that several participants described as troubling and reflecting the wider confusion surrounding the island's predicament.
"The (Cypriot) parliament is obviously too emotional and will not decide on anything, if Cyprus does not even feel that they can attend the call it is a big problem for us," the French representative said, according to the notes seen by Reuters. "We have never seen this."

The other 1.2bn would be raised through privatisations and by increasing capital gains tax and the corporate tax rate.

Following a proposal by the President of the Republic a concensus was reached and a unanimous decision was taken for the setting up of an Investment Solidarity Fund. The proposal is currently undergoing legal and technical processing by the Law Office of the Republic.
If it is considered necessary on the basis of the legal and technical processing, the Council of Ministers will be convened immediately in order to approve it, and it will be forwarded to the House of Representatives for the rest.

Capital controls to be implemented in Cyprus - DJ
Dow Jones newswires is reporting the bank reform legislation which is being submitted to the Cypriot parliament tonight will impost capital controls on its banking sector.
That will restricted the amount of money that can be taken out of a bank (when they reopen).
Quite a moment for the single currency.

That's two notches above default.
Interesting timing - given the uncertainty tonight over Cyprus's plans. And I imagine anyone considering investing in Cyprus is well aware that it got somewhat riskier this week.

We now have details of the 'capital controls' which Cyprus intends to vote into law (sometime) today, thanks to star blogger @YiannisMouzakis:
It's a remarkable set of restrictions on the usual nuts and bolts of the financial system - particularly given the final point:
Restrictions in daily withdrawals
Ban on premature termination of time savings deposits
Compulsory renewal of all time savings deposits upon maturity
Conversion of current accounts to time deposits
Ban or restrictions on non cash transactions
Restrictions on use of debit, credit or prepaid debit cards
Ban or restriction on cashing in checks
Restrictions on domestic interbank transfers or transfers within the same bank
Restrictions on the interactions/transactions of the public with credit institutions
Restrictions on movements of capital, payments, transfers
Any other measure which the Finance Minister or the Governor of Cyprus Central Bank see necessary for reasons of public order and safety

Petrol stations in Cyprus are in danger of closing since owners do not have cash to refill their reserves.
Chairman of the Petrol Owners Association, Stephanos Stephanou told CNA that the situation has worsened since yesterday with gas stations accepting only cash, while people are running out of cash.
He clarified that Cyprus has enough fuel reserves but the owners of stations are running out of money to obtain more fuel.
He urged the people to use cash while fuelling up at the pump.
Stephanou said some stations take credit cards but from tomorrow, no station will be accepting credit cards

According to Reuters, a 20% tax on deposits over 100K at the Bank of Cyprus would be levied. That would be coupled with a 4% tax across the board elsewhere.
Remember, on Tuesday the Cypriot parliament overwhelmingly rejected a tax deposit scheme that was agreed to exactly a week ago. In the first version of the plan, deposits over 100K were to be taxed at 9.9%, while those below that level would have been 6.5%.
This new version is more progressive.
This is not official, or a done deal by any means.
For one thing, at the moment, there's a planned Eurogroup meeting tomorrow night, and Olli Rehn has just put out a statement on the need to reach a deal this weekend.
Furthermore, any deal will need to be voted on and approved by the Cypriot parliament.

Meeting delayed again....... Banghead
I thought i just posted that...? rubschin:
Quote from: BBc Web Shite
A key meeting of eurozone finance ministers to finalise a crucial bailout for Cyprus has been delayed as talks to hammer out an agreement overran.
President Nicos Anastasiades is locked in talks with EU, European Central Bank and IMF leaders in Brussels.
The finance ministers - know as the Eurogroup - must decide on Sunday whether or not to approve the bailout.
Cyprus needs to raise 5.8bn euros (£5bn) to qualify for a 10bn euro EU bailout and avoid bankruptcy.
A eurozone official said the Eurogroup meeting had been rescheduled for about 20:00 local time (19:00 GMT) from 18:00 because talks with Cypriot officials ahead of those discussions had overrun.
In another development on Sunday, Bank of Cyprus - the island's biggest lender - further limited cash machine withdrawals to 120 euros a day.
With queues growing outside cash machines across the island, the second biggest lender, Laiki (Popular) Bank, also lowered its daily limit to 100 euros, Cyprus News Agency reported. The bank's previous limit had been 260 euros per day.
Banks have been closed since Monday and many businesses are only taking payment in cash.
In the run-up to the crunch talks in Brussels, the EU's commissioner for economic affairs Olli Rehn said the island had only "hard choices left" and must agree terms on Sunday.

Nicosia. The two main banks at the centre of Cyprus's financial crisis slashed the daily cash withdawal limits from ATM machines on Sunday, state media reported, cited by AFP.
With queues growing outside cash machines across the island, Laiki (Popular) Bank cut maximum withdrawals at ATMs to 100 euros a day and the Bank of Cyprus reduced its limit to 120 euros a day, the Cyprus News Agency said.
Laiki bank, Cyprus's second biggest lender, had already restricted withdrawals to 260 euros a day on Thursday after its ATMs were besieged by customers drawing their previous daily limits of 700 euros.
Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades was in bailout talks in Brussels on restructuring the island's banks and dealing with a mounting cash shortfall via a "haircut", or levy, of large bank deposits.
The Mediterranean island faces possible exit from the euro, with the European Central Bank due to halt funding on Monday. Cyprus banks are not due to reopen until Tuesday after a 10-day shutdown.
Parlaiment has already passed legislation to put all Laiki deposits over 100,000 euros into a "bad bank" where they will be tied up for years and may never be fully recovered.
But negotiations have stumbled on EU-IMF demands for a substantial levy on deposits above the same threshold in the Bank of Cyprus to avoid it facing similar restructuring. The island's largest lender, it holds more than a third of all deposits.
Not just Laiki...... noooo:

Early reports coming out of Brussels suggest that the Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades threatened to resign because there are so many sticking points in talks.
The Eurogroup meeting has been delayed by around two hours and delegates are preparing for what could be a long night.
The main problems seem to be the restructuring of the banks and the possibility that Eurogroup members have asked for more money from Cyprus to meet the terms of a 10 billion euro bailout.

Eurogroup suffers repeated delays as Anastasiades balks at troika demands
The start of the Eurogroup meeting was delayed by at least three hours on Sunday night amid tense negotiations about a possible bailout for Cyprus.
Eurozone ministers had arrived in Brussels for the talks, which were due to begin at 7 p.m. Greek time but the start was put back several times. It is thought that talks could begin at around 10 p.m. Greek time.
Ahead of the Eurogroup Anastasiades had been meeting with European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, European Council chief Herman Van Rompuy, European Central Bank head Mario Draghi, European Economic and Monetary Affairs Commissioner Olli Rehn and International Monetary Fund managing director Christine Lagarde.
It is though that the main sticking point in negotiations was the IMFs insistence that Bank of Cyprus, the islands largest lender, merge with Cyprus Popular Bank (Laiki) after its resolution and take on responsibility for the 9 billion euros in Emergency Liquidity Assistance (ELA) it had received from the European Central Bank.
Anastasiades reportedly rejected this proposal and warned Lagarde that he would be forced to resign if the IMF insisted on it.
Earlier, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble called for Anastasiades and Cypriot officials to view the challenges facing them realistically. We had an agreement following our negotiations last Saturday but we start again today, he said.
There were talks during the week but I am not aware of their outcome. I hope we will be able to reach an agreement, however this demands that Cyprus must see the situation realistically. We are ready for a solution, we want to do everything and not spend every weekend here. It does not depend on us, but Cyprus.
Ahead of the meeting an EU official with direct involvement in the talks told Kathimerini that there has been progress on details of a bailout agreement between Cyprus and the troika but some major obstacles remained.
The main question surrounds the future of the islands largest lender, Bank of Cyprus. If unsecured deposits (above 100,000 euros) at all Cypriot banks are taxed then large savings at Bank of Cyprus are likely to be taxed between 20 and 25 percent. If the levy is not imposed on deposits at other lenders, the haircut for Bank of Cyprus customers will be much larger.
The option of a full bail in of Bank of Cyprus depositors is still on the table. As with Laiki, which is to go through a resolution process, the full bail in option could lead to deposits above 100,000 euros being lost. The only compensation for unsecured depositors will be shares in the good bank that will be created by a possible merger between the «healthy» Laiki and Bank of Cyprus entities.

The best early reaction
Joseph Cotterill of FT Alphaville has written the best detailed analysis of the Cyprus deal: Scratch one stupid idea [Updated]:
Here are the key points (head over to AV for the full read (then come back!))
1) In case you didnt get the memo the first time, this still isnt about spanking money-launderers. (because there's no differentiation between foreign and domestic customers with over 100k)
2) Its a depositor bail-in for two specific banks, one of which is in full resolution. (rather than forcing all customers at all banks to contribute, as in the first - hated - bailout plan)
3) Its also a senior bank bond bail-in. (Holders of Laikis senior unsecured debt look fully wiped out - those at Bank of Cyprus will take a brisk haircut)
4) Emergency Liquidity Assistance. -- Was this the week we found out that ELA will be protected from default no matter what? (under the deal, the assistance supplied by the European Central Bank to Laiki is now transferred to Bank of Cyprus)
* * * * * *
And over at Reuters, Felix Salmon points out that the winding-down of Laiki is a rather big deal for a rather small country:
QuoteThe resolution of Laiki is going to give the world a very real example of what happens when a too-big-to-fail bank is allowed to fail.
Laiki is small by global standards, but very large by comparison with Cypruss GDP. If Cyprus can survive Laikis collapse, then maybe just maybe the world could cope with the resolution of a big bank like Citigroup. But thats a very big if.
More likely, the costs to Cyprus of allowing Laiki to fail will be enormous, both politically and economically. And 800,000 Cypriots will for years to come be paying the price of what Mohamed El-Erian elegantly calls bailout fatigue.

Just for once Gordon Brown got something right ...... even if it was for all the wrong reasons.
Given the UK's ability to borrow at very low rates I was surprised that we didn't offer to help by giving Cyprus the 10 billion needed ..... Smacked too much of the old "Colonial" days I suppose.
Interesting the reaction of the "Occupied Territory" shown on Channel Four News last evening. The highly subsidised Turks are laughing their socks off even if some of their politicians are saying how sorry they are whilst others in the background of the interview were snorting in derision at such comments.

From Reuters:
While ordinary Cypriots queued at ATM machines to withdraw a few hundred euros as credit card transactions stopped, other depositors used an array of techniques to access their money.
No one knows exactly how much money has left Cyprus' banks, or where it has gone. The two banks at the centre of the crisis - Cyprus Popular Bank, also known as Laiki, and Bank of Cyprus - have units in London which remained open throughout the week and placed no limits on withdrawals. Bank of Cyprus also owns 80 percent of Russia's Uniastrum Bank, which put no restrictions on withdrawals in Russia. Russians were among Cypriot banks' largest depositors.

Capital controls to be imposed in Cyprus will limit foreign transactions and capital outflows but not movements of money within the country itself, according to the head of the its chamber of commerce.
Phidias Pelides made the comments to reporters after meeting government officials, saying:
Quote
We have been assured that limitations will not affect transactions within Cyprus at all.
Where there will be limitations is on what we spend abroad and also on capital outflows.
That would prevent the threat of capital racing out of Cyprus, draining its banks and creating a deeper liquidity crisis.
We still don't have confirmation that the banks will definitely open on Thursday....

Capital Controls announced
Details of Cyprus's capital controls are now hitting the newswires.
Here are the key points (mainly via Dow Jones and Reuters).
All savings accounts must run until their expiry date - with no early withdrawals allowed.
Cashing of cheques will be suspended, but 'cheque deposits' will be allowed.
Individuals will only be allowed to take 3,000 in cash on each trip out of the country.
Cypriots will only be allowed to transfer up to 10,000 per quarter for fellow citizens who are studying abroad.
All credit/debit card transactions abroad will be capped at 5,000 per person, per month.
The measures will apply to all accounts, regardless of the currency it uses.
Import payments will be allowed when 'the relevant documents' are provided to the authorities.
They will run for seven days
Seven days my big fat, hairy arse! happy001
Post by: apc2010 on March 27, 2013, 02:56:27 PM
Under the decree you cannot cash cheques unless you are making deposits.
No non-cash payments or transfers of money outside Cyprus except for payments for commercial transactions within the framework of the ordinary activities of the business with the presentation of documentary evidence.
Evidence is not required for amounts not exceeding 500.
Other exceptions include payment for employees outside the republic; living expenses of 10,000 per quarter and fees of people studying abroad and who are first-degree relatives of people residing in the Republic, again with the necessary documentation.
Payment and transfer outside the republic through debit, credit or prepaid cards of up to 5,000 per month for every credit institution
Payment of claims for insurance companies.
Other payments and transfers that have the approval of the committee
A notice account cannot be terminated before its due date unless it is used to pay a loan at the same credit institution. It is forbidden to take notes in euros or other foreign exchange of more than the equivalent of 3,000 per person per trip. Customs will ensure this.
Any exchange payment or transfer not completed before these measures came into effect are covered by this decree.
Exceptions are all moneys coming from abroad, diplomatic missions, financial transactions within the same account, payments approved by the committee, the Republic and the Central Bank.
This applies for seven days starting with publication in the gazette.

Capital controls confirmed
And finally, a central bank official has announced tonight that capital controls will be imposed, but initially for just four days.
Reuters has the story:
Quote
Cyprus will limit the use of cheques to businesses, cap cash withdrawals to 300 euros per day and scrutinise all commercial transactions over 5,000 euros when banks reopen on Thursday, a Central Bank official said.
Yiangos Demetriou, head of internal audit at the Central Bank, said the controls would allow unlimited use of credit cards within Cyprus, but set a limit of 5,000 euros ($6,400) per month abroad.
He said the measures would remain in place for four days, contradicting an earlier report by the Athens newspaper Kathimerini that the controls would last seven days.
"That doesn't mean it cannot be reviewed in the meantime depending on developments," Demetriou told the Cypriot state broadcaster.
"The rationale is that these measures will be reviewed on a daily basis, so if there is the possibility of relaxing them we will," he said.
The central bank says banks will reopen at midday (1000 GMT) on Thursday, ten days after they closed their doors on the orders of the government to avert a run on deposits as the island negotiated a bailout deal with the European Union and International Monetary Fund.
Demetriou said the central bank would review all commercial transactions between 5,000 and 200,000 euros, and scrutinise any larger transactions on a case-by-case basis.

All very good natured...
There was a security guard letting people in two at a time - partly to save everybody overhearing their problems.
We couldn't get any cash - the Bank of Cyprus simply has no mechanism for transferring money from our 90-day account into our current account so that we can draw it from a cash machine. Previously we could take out 1,000 per day with no penalty.
Consequently, we have had to give three months notice on the account. They will then transfer 5,000 to our current account in June from which we can take 600 per day (300 each). the remainder will return to a 30 day account which we will give notice on... etc.
Some harrowing stories outside the bank - an English guy is due to have an operation on his throat Saturday but they simply cannot withdraw the 1,000 deposit they need for it to go ahead.
A Greek guy we know is in the same position as us but has no cash on him at all and was considering flying out of the country to withdraw funds elsewhere.
And English couple with all their savings in the bank and still no information on the size of the haircut they are going to get...

NICOSIA - Cyta, the Cyprus Telecommunications Authority will be offering free national calls on fixed phones to other Cyta subscribers both fixed line and mobile for the month of April in order to help alleviate the blow from the economic crisis.
Cyta added that it would not be disconnecting any of its subscribers who have not been able to settle their bills because of the lack of liquidity in the economy following a two week closure of the banks. The organisation will review this decision on April 15, in the light of the situation at the time.
Payment of bills by standing orders has been moved from March 29 to April 3 while Cyta is setting up a toll free helpline on 80008060 from April to help clients settle their bills and offer alternative solutions to facilitate them, it added.
Cyta said it was launching a new mobile phone package for companies, Cytamobile-Vodafone Business Benefits offering discounts. It said this was the first of special packages being introduced to meet the changed needs of its clients.
Appreciating the seriousness of the situation, Cyta is looking at further measures to facilitate its clients during these difficult economic times, it concluded.

The State takes both and shoots you
BUREAUCRATISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both, shoots one, milks the other, and then

TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM
You have two cows.
You sell one and buy a bull.
Your herd multiplies, and the economy
grows.
You sell them and retire on the income
ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND (VENTURE) CAPITALISM
You have two cows.
You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by
your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax exemption
for five cows.
The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island Company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company.
The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more. You sell one cow to buy a new president of the United States , leaving you with nine cows. No balance sheet provided with the release.
The public then buys your bull.
SURREALISM
You have two giraffes.
The government requires you to take harmonica lessons.

You go on strike, organise a riot, and block the roads, because you want three

market it worldwide.

You have two cows,
but you don't know where they are.
You decide to have lunch.

You have 5000 cows. None of them belong to you.

A BRITISH CORPORATION

You tell them that you have none.
No-one believes you, so they bomb the ** out of you and invade your country.
You still have no cows, but at least you are now a Democracy.

He gets a second quote from a German who says 900: 300 for the materials, 300 for my labour and 300 for the tax I have to pay on it.
He then asks a Greek, who says 3,000.
"Why so much?" St Peter asks in horror.
The Greek replies, "Listen, pal, there's 1,000 for you, 1,000 for me, 300 for the materials, 300 to get the Germans to look the other way, and 400 to hire an Albanian to do the work".

You are all fvcked noooo:

Just how does Cyprus work? As an outsider it just seem that to get to be a high ranking bank or gubberment official all you need is to have a Greek name, an ability to do dodgy deals and an IQ less than your height in inches
Ezackly!
To become a teacher, you put your name down when you leave school...
You can then spend the rest of your life cleaning drains or running a bar but when your name gets to the top of the list - HEY PRESTO! - you are a teacher.... noooo:
When we owned a pub years ago I phoned the regular delivery guy and he answered the phone to inform me that even though he brought our booze the previous day, he was now a policeman. Again, put your name down, sit an exam and hey presto, you get a gun and a badge.

EC cuts growth forecasts
Breaking news: the European Commission has cut its growth forecasts for the euro area, and warned that unemployment levels in the region are unacceptably high.
In its Spring forecasts, the EC predicted that eurozone GDP would fall by 0.4% this year, worse than the 0.3% decline pencilled in previously.
For bailed-out, buffeted Cyprus, the EC now predicts a 8.7% tumble in economic output this year.QuotePeter Spiegel @SpiegelPeter

Draft law to bail-in large depositors approved
Europe has moved a step closer to bailing in large depositors in future bank rescues, as happened in Cyprus this year.
Last night, the European Parliament's economics committee approved draft legislation under which customers with more than 100,000 would be liable to fund a rescue package. Smaller savers, though, would still be protected.
This new bank recovery and resolution mechanism is meant to end the era of taxpayer-funded bank rescues. Bank of England Deputy Governor Paul Tucker called it a milestone towards a world where governments were no longer willing to rescue banks that are too big to fail.
Under the EU proposal, a bank would dip into large deposits of over 100,000 once it had exhausted other avenues such as shareholders and bondholders, Reuters explains.
There could still be a battle, though, over who stands first in line for losses.
Be warned!

Well, increase property taxes to make 75M... well, not make exactly is it...? Take 75M out of the economy that would have been spent in shops, bars, restaurants, etc.... ::)
And the latest brilliant idea to save the economy...?
Change the design of number plates... all new cars will have to have the new design and all motorbikes, scooters, quads, etc. will have to get the new plates before the end of 2013... Even mnore cash taken out of the economy.... ::)

"When checking my MTN PayAsYouGo balance and validity period, I find that MTN have reduced my validity period from December to August. I spoke to MTN who really could not care less - "It is the new company policy" was repeated time and time again. MTN's new policy will mean a minimum cost of 60 a year for PayAsYouGo. For me it will be either Primetel or Cyta. In fact Cyta and Primetel must be 'jumping for joy' at their competitors stupid company rules."

Bank of Cyprus close to depositor deal
Cypriot officials are close to finalising the terms of losses for Bank of Cyprus depositors, in a sign that the countrys banking crisis has panned out more benignly than feared.
Deposits at the lender in excess of the guaranteed limit of 100,000 would be subject to a 47.5 per cent haircut under the agreement. In March, policy makers had said that 37.5 per cent of deposits would be wiped out with a further 22.5 per cent held in escrow to cover unforeseen needs raising the prospect of a 60 per cent reduction in depositors funds in all.
They still haven't sorted it all out.... noooo:

Bank of Cyprus savers suffer 47.5% haircut
It's offficial. Large investors with more than 100,000 in Bank of Cyprus when the country collapsed into a bailout this year are surrendering 47.5% of that money in exchange for new shares in the company.
The Central Bank of Cyprus announced the news today. It put a positive spin on it, saying "significant progress" had been made in recapitalising BoC.
According to Reuters, the move means depositors will lose around 8bn.
And what of the rest? The Central Bank of Cyprus explained that 12% of deposits that were previously blocked will be released. The balance will be split into three deposits per customer, which will be locked for six, nine and 12 months each. However,...
QuoteBoC will have the option to renew the time deposits once for the same time duration
So in practice, savers might not get their hands on any of the money for a year, and could have to wait 24 months for the lot.

Just in -- the European Commission, ECB and IMF have published the results of their First Review Mission to Cyprus.
The top-line conclusion of the Troika's officials is that the Cypriot bailout programme is on track, with the Nicosia government hitting the targets set in the rescue agree in March. However, they also admitted that the Cyprus labour market has deteriorated more than they expected.
Here's the key section:QuoteThe short-run economic outlook remains difficult and subject to considerable uncertainty. Recent indicators support the programs projections of a contraction in output of about 13 percent cumulatively during 2013-14. Encouragingly, confidence indicators have improved somewhat from the lows hit in April. But the labor market has weakened more than anticipated, and unemployment has continued to rise.Today's unemployment data confirms that Cyprus's labour market certainly has worsened. The jobless rate hit 17.3% in June, up from 16.5% in May. A year ago, the rate was 11.7%.
Growth is expected to recover modestly starting in 2015, driven by non-financial services.
The full statement is online here: It explains that Cyprus will get its next bailout payment in September, if the Eurogroup and the Executive Board of the IMF agree with the report's findings.

Hello ,
My family is joining me in Limassol on Weds from the UK as we planned to have a new life here . The job i was offered here with a finance company has been withdrawn due to some license problem they have encountered .
My good lady and i are now both desperate to pick up any sort of work to pay the bills , we have a 9 year old boy due to start school here next month and that will cost money too .
Can anyone help us out or point us in the right direction please ?"

My mate is a director of 'the big one' in Limassol (there are not many).....if he was trying for a job there, he would have to be very good and not a chancer. They would have made it very clear what was required before he started.
It sounds like the twat prolly thought he might be up for something good and it did not work out.....then starts bleating about how shite life is. noooo: I guess he ran away from other shite he had already caused somewhere else.
I will see my mate at the weekend and find out if he was one of their rejects.

The Poles may find it harder to do the ongoing fiddles with inflation rates that are needed to make the steal successful.

I guess we'd all claw back any bonuses paid to directors but that wouldn't go very far so you get left with the choice of (a) hair cutting the deposits over the 100k guarantee, (b) hair cutting all deposits, (c) hair cutting taxpayers that had nothing to do with the bank or the Icelandic hair cutting anyone but your own voters.
Option (a) for me is the least worst

Oh well done Guido ::), all those years building up a reputation and he's just gone and shot himself in the foot by recycling a 3 month old article in Forbes (http://www.forbes.com/sites/billfrezza/2013/10/15/the-international-monetary-fund-lays-the-groundwork-for-global-wealth-confiscation/) copying their misconstruction.
Because if he had read the actual IMF report as openly available since October http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/fm/2013/02/pdf/fm1302.pdf (http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/fm/2013/02/pdf/fm1302.pdf) then he'd have seen that quote from Box 6 is just the IMF summarising discussions they have already observed in Europe *
Perhaps the worst news for all new idiot conspiracy theorist Guido is that tin foil is no longer BOGOF so those special hats (http://www.instructables.com/id/Aluminum-Foil-Hat/) will cost him a little more.
Guido if you're reading this then here's a clue: people who are out to swindle you do not publish their ideas openly on the internet. Hope that helps, toodlepip
* The report is copy protected but Box 6 is actually only referenced once, by page 39 of the report - in a chapter called "2. taxing our way out or or into?trouble"

from there....
"Just renewed the Road Tax on the wifes Fiat 500 875cc Twin Air Stop & Start with a 90 g/km CO2 & found it had increased by 67%. So much for running a green car.
I thought I read, Cyprus were bringing their Road Tax in line with other Euopean counties & if the CO2 was under 100 g/km there would be Zero Road Tax, instead it΄s shot up to 30.00.
Also my 400cc scooter, not two years old yet, is now 39.00 up 130% from 17.00 last year.
Can see many taking a chance & not bothering. Also noted no price is printed on the Tax Disc this year"

You fucking hypocritical gobshite! How dare you comment about hurting the elderly, jobless and disabled when you were the one who masterminded a raid on pension pots. And what about your sainted 'welfare to work' scheme? That complete clusterfuck was a waste of money that did bugger all to help people who were looking for work, in fact you had the highest level of unemployment in 13 years. Then we come to your 'Personal Care at Home' bill which if it hadn't been scrapped would have cost double the estimated amount to administer and provided less support, something you would have known if you'd bothered to listen to people and not make it up as you were going along, or did you think the party revolted because they didn't like you as a person. And finally, on the subject of growth, lets not even mention that the scorched earth financial policy you enacted in a fucking tantrum to make things as difficult as possible for the new government when it was clear your worthless arse was getting booted out of number 10 did massive economical damage. cussing:

We would be very pleased to see you over here! Property prices are good value at the moment, certainly below replacement value, and you wouldn't go too far wrong if you are a cash buyer, but I think there's a way to go yet.

One of the locals is a recently retired electrician and his wife works in a charity shop in Newbury.
People keep offering them electrical goods, which they can't sell because they have to be safety checked and that costs them too much.
He is fully qualified and has properly calibrated equipment, safety stickers and so on.
He offered to check every item for them and certify it safe, at no cost.
They declined because he is not an 'approved contractor', so it all goes in the skip. noooo:

Lets hope so, but I think it will be a while yet. The funny thing is that most people go back to the UK, the Cyps as well, usually because they have no work, and dole only pays out here for 6 months - if you have been paying your social insurance that it, these 2 friends have work, but they feel that they are not getting on fast enough here so the UK beckons.

The International Monetary Fund said it will not release the next tranche of bailout money earmarked for Cyprus, Reuters reported today citing the IMF.
The decision came following yesterdays parliament vote which suspended until January 30, an unpopular law passed in September to speed up foreclosure procedures angering international creditors and finance minister Harris Georgiades.
Following todays suspension of the existing legislation on foreclosure, critical requirements for the completion of the fifth program review are now no longer met, the IMF said according to Reuters.
State radio CyBC reported that the IMF board which was set to meet on Dec. 18, to approve the release of the tranche decided to cancel the meeting even as everything was prepared to approve the disbursement as all preconditions were met.
CyBC said that IMF officials will visit Cyprus on January 27 to review Cypruss programme. Lawmakers suspended yesterday the implementation of the repossessions law which was about to come formally into force on January 1, citing delays by the government in preparing and submitting the insolvency framework for debtors.
Finance minister Georgiades said today that the decision of the IMF was expected, adding that if the parliament had taken the decision to pass the law suspending foreclosures earlier, the European Stability Mechanism which gave us 350 million euros would have done the same.

But I'd bet your housing index is at least 5% higher by year end than it is now. Just wouldn't bet too much on that.

We've been using he company for ten years - they deliver 50Kg propane bottles for our gas fire. We keep two, when one is empty we change to the other, call them up and they bring a new one.
So, he turns up today but now due to EU regulations the truck with 20 50Kg gas bottles on the back has to have 'danger signs' fitted front and rear - in case you hadn't realised that the 20 50Kg bright orange containers on the back might contain flammable gas. Also, the truck was going off today to have a fire extinguisher box fitted on the outside like petrol tankers have.
Worse though, you now have to go on a training course to deliver gas bottles. But the course costs hundreds of uros and you have to have a Cypriot driving licence to attend and speak and read Greek. And the driver can't...
So the changes will cost
I'm not saying all the regulations are bad.... but at a time when the economy is completely fucked why impose extra costs now...? Why not make it so the next time the truck is replaced it has to meet all the new regs...?
Madness... noooo:

You are just catching up with the madness we have. Similar situation with the gas bottles, new regs, too expensive to update the truck or the delivery cost becomes prohibitive.
Local lad now has a nice little earner going, you call and tell him what you want and he nips down to the depot, slings the cylinder in the back of his pickup and brings it round and connects it up. You pay him plus £5 cash for the trouble.
Sometimes he collects several and other stuff at the same time.
No safety issues there of course. Three big orange torpedoes rolling about with a dozen bags of coal stacked on top... :thumbsup:

I'm not saying all the regulations are bad.... but at a time when the economy is completely fucked why impose extra costs now...? Why not make it so the next time the truck is replaced it has to meet all the new regs...?
Madness... noooo:
You are just catching up with the madness we have. Similar situation with the gas bottles, new regs, too expensive to update the truck or the delivery cost becomes prohibitive.
Local lad now has a nice little earner going, you call and tell him what you want and he nips down to the depot, slings the cylinder in the back of his pickup and brings it round and connects it up. You pay him plus £5 cash for the trouble.
Sometimes he collects several and other stuff at the same time.
No safety issues there of course. Three big orange torpedoes rolling about with a dozen bags of coal stacked on top... :thumbsup:

There is no mains gas here so there are literally thousands of people driving to/from the garage with gas bottles rolling around in the back of their car/truck. I do it with the 35Kg ones we use for cooking...
No signs, no fire extinguisher and no driver training....
In fact, the other day I came back from the garage having filled the Panjero with diesel, a 35Kg and a 20Kg propane bottle and a jerry can full of petrol for the generator in the back! ;D

What happened to the box of fireworks?The gas man cometh from Pafos today....
We've been using he company for ten years - they deliver 50Kg propane bottles for our gas fire. We keep two, when one is empty we change to the other, call them up and they bring a new one.
So, he turns up today but now due to EU regulations the truck with 20 50Kg gas bottles on the back has to have 'danger signs' fitted front and rear - in case you hadn't realised that the 20 50Kg bright orange containers on the back might contain flammable gas. Also, the truck was going off today to have a fire extinguisher box fitted on the outside like petrol tankers have.

Just an observation but how is Cyprus set for resort style hotels? The Greek government is looking at changing the licences for hotels that offer all inclusive deals (food, drink etc) saying that it takes money from the local economy. If they go ahead with it then Cyprus could benefit if there are resorts in place that can run similar deals instead.
I read that........most all/all thompson/tui/1st choice hotels are all inclusjve here.........but they are complaining here too.........might start another thread ........

Exactly, and seeing as Greece's inability to perform basic maths when it came to balancing the books caused serious problems for Cyprus it only seems fair that they are able to grab the tourists the new government doesn't want. Thumbs:
I can see the appeal to families ....when your snotty brats wants coke and ice cream all day..you save that in a day........
The other thing is the tavernas and bars got expensive ..I bet a family of 4 do 100 a night for a meal n a couple of drinks....
Some AI customers do go out and explore the island but return to the hotel for food....
It is so cheap too....at the moment 1 hotel in Coral Bay is offering AI for 25 pound a day per person...accomodation ,food all day and unlimited drinks....it's cheaper to live there than at home.... rubschin:

State hospitals go on strike
State hospitals and medical centres across the island went on a four-hour
strike on Thursday morning over what they say is the states failure to deal
with problems in their profession.
An announcement by the Health Ministry said that during the protest which
got underway at 7.30am and is set to last until 11.30am there will only be
security personnel working normally while life-threatening situations will be
transferred to private clinics from the hospital.

It is a charity do and the tickets are on sale at the charity tat shop...
So, I walk in the shop where the (voluntary) staff outnumber the shoppers and am promptly ignored...
BM: Do you have any Michael Jackson tickets?
Shop Assistant: *looks at me like I have just asked if they have any wank mags and starts rummaging around*
BM: Two please!
SA: *Finds a plastic bag containing books of tickets and removes them* I have to write your name on them - I don't know why *rolls eyes*
BM: Barman
SA: *writes Barman on two stubs" Forty Euros....
BM: *hands 50 note*
SA: I can't take that!
BM: WHY?
SA: We can't take it!
BM: For why? it is that or nothing, I only have another 20 note! *thinks, FFS it isn't like I've given 50 for something that cost 1 or have given them a 500 'drug dealer' note*
Another Shop Assistant: We can take that because we don't have to bank it!
BM: *cheesy grin*
SA: Do we have any change then?
ASA: Yes, in the safe...
SA: *rolls eyes, wanders off to safe and returns with change*

It is a bit of a sore point in our village...
Postman is supposed to be there from 08:30 to 13:00 Monday through Friday...
...but at some point a man comes from Limassol to deliver the village post to the village (post lands at Larnaca, is sorted into districts then to Limassol post office then to us).... For reasons nobody understands he doesn't bring the post to the post office, the postman has to close the post office and go and meet the guy on the Motorway...
So, you can pretty much guarantee that whenever you go to the post office it is closed! lol:

We have one postman for the whole village...
He has to collect it all (on the moped that he provides), sort it and put it into all of the PO boxes...
...this is at the same time as he offers a 'counter service' selling stamps, registering post and getting us to sign for our parcels...
...once he closes at 1pm he has to go out on his moped and deliver the post all around the village to anybody that hasn't got a PO box.
The old postman used to just chuck anything in the bin that wasn't addressed to a PO Box... He had a good point actually, most houses don't have a letterbox so the new postman just chucks it over the fence where it gets blown away or destroyed by the weather anyway....

I was out walking this arvo and stumbled over Pissouri Forest Park (http://cypruspropertygallery.com/projects/pissouri-forest-park)....
I remember them starting work on it years ago.... but they have built loads and loads of houses - all empty and (presumably) unsold... The whole project is closed and padlocked up... noooo:

March 31
Just sold everything in the UK and gone to live and work in Nicosia, Cyprus.
Now this is a City that knows how to live!
Beautiful, sunny days and warm, balmy evenings.
I watched the sunset from a deckchair by our pool yesterday.
It was beautiful.
I've finally found my new home.
I love it here.
April 13
Really heating up now.
It got to 31 today.
No problem though.
Living in air-conditioned home, driving air-conditioned car.
What a pleasure to see the sun every day like this.
I'm turning into a sun-worshipper - no blasted rain like back in Leeds !!
April 30
Had the my little plot of land landscaped with tropical plants today.
Lots of palms and rocks.
No more mowing lawns for me!
Another scorcher today, but I love it here.
It's Paradise !
May 10
The temperature hasn't been below 35 all week..
How do people get used to this kind of heat?
At least today it's windy though.
Keeps the flies off a bit.
Acclimatizing is taking longer than we expected.
May 15
Fell asleep by the pool yesterday..
Got third degree burns over 60% of my body.
Missed three days off work.
What a dumb thing to do..
Got to respect the old sun in a climate like this!
May 20
Didn't notice Kitty (our cat) sneaking into the car before I left for work this morning.
By the time I got back to the car after work, Kitty had died and swollen up to the size of a shopping bag and stuck to the upholstery.
The car now smells like Whiskettes and cat shit.
I've learned my lesson though: no more pets in this heat.
May 25
This wind is a bastard.
It feels like a giant fucking blow dryer.
And it's hot as hell!
The home air conditioner is on the blink and the repair man charged 200 Euros just to drive over and tell
me he needs to order parts from fucking China .....The wife & the kids are complaining.
May 30
The temperature's up around 40 and the parts still haven't arrived for the fucking air conditioner.
House is an oven so we've all been sleeping outside by the pool for 3 nights now.
Bloody 600,000 Euro house and we can't even go inside.
Why the hell did I ever come here?
June 4
Finally got the fucking air-conditioner fixed. It cost 1,500 Euros and gets the temperature down to
around 25 degrees, but the humidity makes it feel about 35.
Stupid repairman.
Fucking thief..
June 8
If one more smart bastard says 'Hot enough for you today?'
I'm going to fucking throttle him.
Fucking heat!
By the time I get to work, the car radiator is boiling over, my fucking clothes are soaking fucking wet and I smell like baked cat.
Fucking place is the end of the Earth.
June 9
Tried to run some errands after work, wore shorts, and sat on the black leather upholstery in my car.
I thought my fucking arse was on fire.
I lost 2 layers of flesh, all the hair on the backs of my legs and off my fucking arse.
Now the car smells like burnt hair, fried arse and baked cat.
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
June 10
The Weather report might as well be a fucking recording..
Hot and sunny.
Hot and sunny, Hot and fucking sunny.
It never fucking changes!
It's been too hot to do anything for 2 fucking months and the weatherman says it might really warm up next week.
Fuck!
June 15
Doesn't it ever rain in this damn fucking place?
Water restrictions will be next, so my 5,000 Euro worth of palms might just dry up and blow into the fucking pool.
The only things that thrive in this fucking hell-hole are the fucking flies.
You don't dare open your mouth for fear of swallowing half a dozen of the little bastards!
June 20
Welcome to HELL!
It got to 45 fuckin' degrees today.
Now the air conditioner gone in my car.
The repair man came to fix it and said, 'Hot enough for you today?'
I wanted to shove the fucking car up his fucking arse.
Anyway, had to spend the 2,500 Euro mortgage payment to bail me out of jail for assaulting the stupid prick.
Fucking Nicosia!
What kind of sick, demented fucking idiot would want to live here!
July 1
WHAT!!!! The FIRST day of Summer!!!!
You are fucking kidding me!

Keeps the flies off a bit.
Acclimatizing is taking longer than we expected.
May 15
Fell asleep by the pool yesterday..
Got third degree burns over 60% of my body.
Missed three days off work.
What a dumb thing to do..
Got to respect the old sun in a climate like this!
May 20
Didn't notice Kitty (our cat) sneaking into the car before I left for work this morning.
By the time I got back to the car after work, Kitty had died and swollen up to the size of a shopping bag and stuck to the upholstery.
The car now smells like Whiskettes and cat shit.
I've learned my lesson though: no more pets in this heat.
May 25
This wind is a bastard.
It feels like a giant fucking blow dryer.
And it's hot as hell!
The home air conditioner is on the blink and the repair man charged 200 Euros just to drive over and tell
me he needs to order parts from fucking China .....The wife & the kids are complaining.
May 30
The temperature's up around 40 and the parts still haven't arrived for the fucking air conditioner.
House is an oven so we've all been sleeping outside by the pool for 3 nights now.
Bloody 600,000 Euro house and we can't even go inside.
Why the hell did I ever come here?
June 4
Finally got the fucking air-conditioner fixed. It cost 1,500 Euros and gets the temperature down to
around 25 degrees, but the humidity makes it feel about 35.
Stupid repairman.
Fucking thief..
June 8
If one more smart bastard says 'Hot enough for you today?'
I'm going to fucking throttle him.
Fucking heat!
By the time I get to work, the car radiator is boiling over, my fucking clothes are soaking fucking wet and I smell like baked cat.
Fucking place is the end of the Earth.
June 9
Tried to run some errands after work, wore shorts, and sat on the black leather upholstery in my car.
I thought my fucking arse was on fire.
I lost 2 layers of flesh, all the hair on the backs of my legs and off my fucking arse.
Now the car smells like burnt hair, fried arse and baked cat.
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
June 10
The Weather report might as well be a fucking recording..
Hot and sunny.
Hot and sunny, Hot and fucking sunny.
It never fucking changes!
It's been too hot to do anything for 2 fucking months and the weatherman says it might really warm up next week.
Fuck!
June 15
Doesn't it ever rain in this damn fucking place?
Water restrictions will be next, so my 5,000 Euro worth of palms might just dry up and blow into the fucking pool.
The only things that thrive in this fucking hell-hole are the fucking flies.
You don't dare open your mouth for fear of swallowing half a dozen of the little bastards!
June 20
Welcome to HELL!
It got to 45 fuckin' degrees today.
Now the air conditioner gone in my car.
The repair man came to fix it and said, 'Hot enough for you today?'
I wanted to shove the fucking car up his fucking arse.
Anyway, had to spend the 2,500 Euro mortgage payment to bail me out of jail for assaulting the stupid prick.
Fucking Nicosia!
What kind of sick, demented fucking idiot would want to live here!
July 1
WHAT!!!! The FIRST day of Summer!!!!
You are fucking kidding me!

March 31
Just sold everything in the UK and gone to live and work in Nicosia, Cyprus.
Now this is a City that knows how to live!
Beautiful, sunny days and warm, balmy evenings.
I watched the sunset from a deckchair by our pool yesterday.
It was beautiful.
I've finally found my new home.
I love it here.
April 13
Really heating up now.
It got to 31 today.
No problem though.
Living in air-conditioned home, driving air-conditioned car.
What a pleasure to see the sun every day like this.
I'm turning into a sun-worshipper - no blasted rain like back in Leeds !!
April 30
Had the my little plot of land landscaped with tropical plants today.
Lots of palms and rocks.
No more mowing lawns for me!
Another scorcher today, but I love it here.
It's Paradise !

The temperature hasn't been below 35 all week..

Fascinating article today by Martin Armstrong (the guy that forecast a 2016 Brexit in 1999! eeek:) saying basically that the urozone is FUBAR... scared2:

The ECB A Victim of its own Ignorance? (https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/europes-current-economy/the-ecb-a-victim-of-its-own-ignorance/)rubschin: Not a bad read. Draghi certainly is FUBAR as he showed yesterday with some spectacularly stupid remarks that further undermined any confidence that fiscal initiative was supposed to bring. Anyway QE should be an emergency measure not a way of life.

IMHO it goes far wider than the EU. This collective madness that we can pay ourselves ever higher wages and spend them ever more on cheap labour products and food from the further world. Don't add up.

A friend of mine had just had a terrible experience with the same guy. A 3,000 operation only to be told that she needed treatment that could ONLY be performed in Germany at a cost of an additional 11,000! eeek:
She refused and discovered that she could get excellent treatment here for free!
So, I messaged this guy personally and said, "None of my business but a friend has just had a very poor experience with the same guy"...
So, he went ahead with the 4,000 operation and has today received a call from the accounts department at the hospital demanding 7,000+... noooo:

Last month after a 77-year-old man was caught driving dangerously, police discovered that the road transport department had him registered as dead. It emerged that the man, who was caught in the past for driving dangerously and who was called for a medical, may have forged a death certificate to avoid the examination. According to reports, instead of appearing for the test, the department received a letter saying the 77-year-old was dead, signed by a relative and accompanied with a death certificate as proof.

A man and a woman were having an almighty row in front of a crowd of children. The woman started laying into the man with a stick and someone called the police. facepalm:
A lone copper arrived, grabbed the stick and started battering the man and woman. You couldn't have made it up! lol:
Then a crocodile arrived and stole all the sausages! redface:
