They don't have the numbers to get the vote passed on Tuesday (or any day)...  noooo:

We're not only paddleless but we've hit a shit iceberg and there is a big hole in the bottom of the boat where shit is flooding in.....

Time to play "Nearer, My God, to Thee"  noooo:

It will be painful for us with our assets here but in the long run it must be better....

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

WTF?  noooo:

Surely all that has to happen is

Anastasiades has to die (obviously)

First 100k protected, 20% or whatever of all above that and say it's another 10% if the Russkies kill their loan

Polonium Radiation detectors everywhere

Well, whatever, nevermind
