^ Yep, would have to agree with that.

I would imagine that the black market will do well in Cyprus and deposits to banks - well we can all guess, not so good.

Love the humour - Seriously though, It is a great concern that by "extra-parliamentary" means accounts are "broken into" and funds harvested. This is a development that smacks of dictatorship!

Too many rich people would loose money so take it from those with only a little.
The "Market" rules.
The banking experts are told what to do as are the governments.
Get your money out if you can and do what with it??
It has absolutely nothing to do with greed.

My youngest, who studied fascism in Italy and Germany as part of her Uni degree, sees a lot of similarities and find it quite frightening. Do we not learn from the past? There is little to choose between the EU and Germany during the last war.

Online has enabled the world to become a fascist state.
Most of us can't afford the technology to even see it.

About banjos: Take some cigarette box tinfoil and fold a piece in quarter inch widths, kinda tight,
and loosely weave it around the strings of an electric guitar close to the bridge, so it's jangly.
You should sound like a six string banjo. Palm muting that gives you a depth of effects.

I finally found the end of the Russian meteor.
I should have known Russians would have it tougher than those oceanside Irish,
because it wasn't a pot of gold at the end.
Corno Dolce got there first.

^ Agreed- a yuppie fascist state, ugly very ugly!

About banjos: "Take some cigarette box tinfoil" - thanks for the tip, will give it a go on my strat or tele maybe. I've got a 5 string banjo (which I've tuned to guitar tunning and looking to put pick up on, so I can put it thru my effects pedal......)

Maybe I could make my Banjo sounds like a soft reed stop!

I see Cypress has changed its mind re raiding the bank accounts. Maybe they do not like bloodshed. I noticed the pound has floated up!!!!!

I used cigarette foil with a Stratocaster through a Marshall stack and it is fun.
However, a country bandleader thought it was too easy for me to use it and lose it during songs,
so he got a music store owner to put an electric guitar neck on a banjo body,
giving him confidence I'd sound the same at the start and finish of songs.
So, EddieRUKiddingVare, upgrade your five strings into six strings
and beat the box offa banjo players right away.
My "excuse" of being left-handed with a five-string tuner on the side of the neck so I couldn't play banjo,
a beautiful instrument owned by the bandleader's friend,
didn't last long.
My favorite banjoist, seeing him on late night TV too, is in the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, in the 70's.
A banjoist with Hendrixian tones is way overdue!

Banking has to proceed with so much legality nowadays,
I see Cyprus as an intended precedent to enable copysmitten actions in other countries.
Americans let their own Wall Street crumble to suck in the rest of online banking,
and then reimbursed them with bonuses (the bailout) after it was over.

It's so nice that the as-yet-untitled Frederik Magle was so open and honest about his product,
the manufacturing cost and his wholesale cost,
when I was making purchase inquiries. I'm getting it together, even if faced with unexpected expenses.

Cool, will rig my Strat up thru my PA this weekend and give it a blast - I'm sure my sons will be impressed (and the neighbours) NOT.

The 5 string is ok tuned to 6 string guitar- just means I'm short two strings, as 5th not much use in that tunning............

NZ is just about to pass a bill (open bank) that will be just the same, our savings and working acc would be frozen for 24hrs and a percentage taken from each acc. This is the stuff revolutions are made off. a pox on all their houses :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Not much help teddy, the present opposition aka 'labour party' was the one that started all the nonsense in 1984 with "Rogernomics" which put all their efforts into "The Market" for poor old NZ it all turned to crap from that point. The market looks after itself and to hell with anything else.

It has been announced that Britain only has enough gas reserves for thirty six hours. Then we will have to start importing it at inflated prices of course. Why has this happened? Because the government has agreed to shut down our coal fired power stations, without replacing then. CRETINS

We (NZ) have enough coal reserves to last 400 years at our present rate of consumption, so we export it to China where it is used with present day technology add to that the energy used to get the stuff to China and you finish up with a costly/dirty product in all senses. Technology now exists to burn coal very efficiently so why don’t we invest in this? Because we don’t want to loose our fresh/clean green reputation no mater if we pay big bucks for our energy.
Just think! our oil imports would be drastically reduced and our standard of living would get back to what it once was. But that is too hard.

Yup, very hard for the multinational bosses, might reduce their income to millions instead of billions! About time countries started to do a Cyprus on multinationals but at 50%+.

Even the green brigade admits that some of the things we are doing cause more pollution in the long run. The overall cost (ecologically) of shipping to China plus the lack of control over how it is burnt plus the ecological cost of replaceing that heat source = madness.

The fuel for cross channel ferries is to increase in cost to make it greener. More lorries will then use the Calais -Dover crossing as it is the shortest sea route and therefore less expensive. Of course this means more of them will drive through Kent. End result, more pollution, more congestion - leading to even more pollution and more wear and tear on the road surfaces. End result - a more polluted Kent, but the greens will be happy. because the ferries will be slightly less polluting. Marvellous.
