In case anyone's failed to notice, Ireland and Portugal are in a good deal of trouble.
Unlike ourselves, they must borrow from real markets - the result is yields easily above 6%. This means both troubled sovereigns are losing money on their loans to Greece (which only yield 5%), even as they struggle to stay afloat.
This is going to strain everyone's goodwill soon enough.

Please remember that I am not notified of any comments and will not respond via comments.
Try to keep your criticism constructive and if you don't like something, do tell me how to fix it. If I use any of your suggestions, you will be duly credited.
Although I'm happy to entertain criticism of myself in the comments section, I will not tolerate hate speech. You will be given a written warning and after that I will delete further offending comments.
I will also delete any comments that are clearly randomly generated by third parties for their own promotion.
Occasionally, your comments may land in the spam box, which may cause them to appear with a slight delay as I have to approve them myself.
Thanks in advance for your kind words... and your trolling, if you are so inclined.
