Out of tha FA cup ?

Ramires 2-0

Holding fingers behind his back ?

Cahill scored but no tv link.

The best of all possible worlds in industry is nationalization but without monopoly. So we could have a public electricity company, not some private firms taking advantage of the situation. What might be better ? But at the same time anyone who wants to build a power station should be allowed to do it. Go on, do it sir we 'd say, so we see how your business functions. What might be better ? Public corporations are -supposedly- serving the people. They are supposed to offer cheap services by as much as possible and also take good care of their workers, they don't look for 11-12 year olds that fit into mine shafts to save on digging operations. Could we have those ? It is going to be Plato's ideal state, What I don't like -and nobody likes- is the traditional do nothing model under which national companies operate. They could say to their "golden boys", do something and then you will become golden. They could say to the workforce "it's over with backgammon-dominoes at work". Is it possible ? It's tempi difficili per le principi though. I wonder what the lefties have to say about it.

Those socialist ran companies are lame ducks. They don't care about anything. If you make a complaint they say to you things like "we found a village in Spain and another one in Belgium where it is the same - so you are lying when you say we are the only ones in Europe with a problem". Then the companies collapse and the bailiffs are called in to unscrew the light bulbs or whatever is handy and those characters whistle carefree and they also say "we are being wronged" ! I don't really care if they were done a favour to be in there, in 1914, by Lloyd George-Clemenceau government. Most people put the emphasis on that, party favouritism, but to me it's of secondary importance. The thing is they 're not real managers / workers, they are "what me worry" types. That has been a major contributing factor in today's economic problems.

The pinks are in a minority really but the other parties are hopelessly divided. Their percentge is 32%. It's less than the all time low defeat percentage of a major party throughout Greek history.

The 1% figure is exaggerated. In any case the multi-billion corporations are well served by the neo-marxist orwellian system. You hear them saying "so and so is a capitalist vulture, sucking the blood of the working class", but also "the other one is good, nice fellow, provides jobs for so many people, a model of succesful businessman" ... Depends who is who. In any case that's not what I 'm on about re. those companies. It's the modus operandi. Personally I support the large corporations (electricity-railways-gas) should be state owned but with real managers, no crossword puzzle champions. This is not what the neo-marxist system wants. They want armies of do-nothing employes and we pay through the nose for them.

I 'm assuming nothing. Even if I accept the albeit lame excuses re. USSR, things remain the same. In addition we know the commies like false coins. My mother's birthplace is called the red island, it's the island of Ikaria. In Ikaria it used to be either conservatives first - left second or left first - conservatives second. That way. I know their silly faces one by one and what they stand for. The west was saying socialism does n't work a long time before the collapse. From the early seventies to be accurate. Before that we used to think of USSR as a totalitarian regime but with strong -regimentalized- economy. I don't quite see how our democracy does n't work as such. Many other problem areas I do see. SYRIZA will win but we hope without overall majority. This could make things a little hard for them, in terms of unleashing their mobs. The danger is big however because they are lunatic fringe. In economic things they will make a mess, everyone knows that but they will rob the people with huge taxes to give to their party friends. That's the certain thing. What they will do with the euro-supremos is uncertain and waited to be seen, but the neo-marxist storm is certain and we are already storing candles and spaghetti. Here is a video for the SYRIZA style public employees. I expect you will get the meaning and it's not even a caricature. Those who made it -the New Democracy party- meant it to be a caricature, but it is n't. This is what they are really like:

Well if you are as it happens a real believer in communism, I cannot deprogram you - heaven forbid. I might as well come to terms with it. As I always try to be objective, the term "dictatorship" was coined in the 19th century by Karl Marx and if his books were to be writen one century later he 'd never use that word. Whatever it was he meant by it, he 'd never use the word. Our own Georgey Papadopoulos never used it. He used to call "national government" his stuff. So we can really call anything what we like and some people will maintain "Ulbricht-Honneker were some horrible deviants and not real communists". But you can't say communism allows people to live a free life in the economic sense. You have to be one of those chosen by the state or you are nothing. This is where it starts and where it ends - everything else belonging to the system is incidental or a product of historical coincidences, I might cautiously agree. The fact is under communism, the state controls you all the way and only the functions that are deemed compatible by those who are streamlining the economy are allowed. Everything grinds to a shuddering halt and life becomes a nightmare. Is that happening because of the shortcomings of those who operate the system, those who pull the strings ? We have n't ever really seen anything different from them though. Lastly I don't go by the teachings of the anti-communist literature, although I 'm familiar with it. It's what comes out their own statements and words that I reproduce. In the world of democracies it is -I believe- the system of social democracy that cares about the poor people and those without water, to the extent that this can be done. But social democracy's doctrine allows private enterprise, freedom of expression, free elections and is not enslaving man. Some of the protagonists of social democracy are hopeless failures, true, but I am talking about a doctrine here, not about politicians.

Saatchi did some funny spots in the same vein in GR too, in the eighties as well as those you mention. So you like Berlin wall. If you think about it deeply, there is an anomaly with this one too. Whenever one succeeded in staging a succesful escape, there was a mini celebration in West Germany. But now we have mme Lepen who wants to give back to the Isis the Syrian refugees. Me too thinks there is something phoney, but go on. Live under Honneker regime, with spray guns, raw corn to eat. The Moscow reds were going too far, even by their own standards. For example they did n't have to shoot down the Korean plane in 1983. Those who did it, wanted to harden the regime and stop the perestroika experiment. But you can't say that was n't the real communism. After all it calls for the stoppage of all economic activity - period. All the rest like dictatorship of the proletariat, prohibition of religious practice are -to my mind- coincidental. Strenuously defended by the orthodox communists and rejected by some of the less orthodox, but coincidental. The basic idea is to rob everyone, including the poor of course and make everything state owned.

I used to hold him in some respect, He 's gone potty.

The state fires the shots even in capitalist societies. We have the following state of affairs: National companies - sitting ducks. The employees solve giant crosswords all day, play battleships, go to sleep in the office (the party bosses have made it so). Overcharging private companies. Those have to pay huge amounts of tax. That makes it difficult for them to provide jobs and at the same time the consumer has to pay more. Those companies have to make profit just like their nationalized predecessor but also have to pay taxes whereas the nationalized predecessors did not have to. Smaller and medium businesses. Those are hunted down. In one version of things they are troublesome to the big boys. In the other version they are "anti-socialist relic", "anti-peoples democracy". I don't see any problem with the ads people - neither do I recall a time when they were telling the truth ! Sometimes they violate the trade descriptions act and they are caught, but that does n't happen very often. All in all no system is perfect and many of you don't realise it's money that makes hammers go, in the world of national legislations. Thus if I have a just cause, some suitcases filled with euros will make it glide through that much more smoothly. In marxist society how are things going to work then ? Better ? As if we did n't know ! The party supremos were after the Bolshoi ballet girls and very few of them escaped. For them it was Cote D' Azur - Marrienband - Florida beach, for the common folk it was robot work for a dish of black soup in the factories. In what regards industrial accidents they also have the world record (but when something happens in one of the capitalist shipyards they start demonstrations right away).

In my opinion -with which others may disagree and even strongly disagree- Thatcher was awful. Most parts of her doctrince made good sense though, always hidden behind the Saatchi and Saatchi rhetoric we all remember. Communism is the system that has created most evil in the world. The idea of it having been mishandled by the USSR is childish. When it comes to political and civil rights I fail to see the difference between USSR-Nazi Germany-George Wallace's Alabama.

The anti-capitalists are people without a proper understanding of things when they are not extremists. I 'd like to live in a country that gives me the following things. - Freedom to chose - Respect the opponent - Welfare state To have welfare state, you have to first produce wealth. Otherwise are you going to create it out of nothing ? If any of the above is missing, the system is destined to die. Thatcher was right. She was speaking in "Saatchi and Saatchi" style, Blair's eyes and all the rest of it - because it was her vote catching method. But she had sense. The communists are liars and they want to create a one party state, only for their friends. But they find fools who believe everything. Since when is communism something new ? The idea behind the communist system is corporate ownership. Everything belongs to the state, from airplanes-railways down to needles and buttons. The citizen is a robot. To stabilize this system you need dictatorial government and the use of force. There have been many half way systems. Venezuela is one of the modern lefty states (in a state of utter chaos now). Spain and Portugal in the sixties were half way systems of the other type. What will happen in Greece now is that only the people who work for the state will be able to earn a living. If you are not one of the favoured ones, then it's curtains. The rich and generally all those who can afford it are leaving the country. This did not happen from 2009 to 2014 despite the economic crisis, but with the prospect of marxist government everyone flees. The banks are being dried out to the tune of 2 billion euros a day as we speak. Even the left wing party supporters are bank-running (because political affiliation is one thing, our wallet is anothe thing ...). The left wing SYRIZA party are not really planning to end capitalism. The system will be based on a number of capitalist bosses - as before. Their names are known. It's the middle classes and the middle to lower economic classes they are out to destroy. Strangely the situation seems to have brought tremendous joy to right wing extremists in other parts of Europe. Madame Lepen said she hopes SYRIZA wins ! To this SYRIZA replied "we know nothing about it". What "les lepenoises" think is SYRIZA will hasten the process of Europe's destruction and hence they rejoice ! The such crowds really hate Greece. They like to intimidate Greek people and call them "shoe shines". It is a historical fact that all the wars we have fought were wars against the forces that represented racism of one type or another (Ottoman Empire - Imperial Germany - Fascist Italy - Nazi Germany). Only the war of 1945-49 -the war against communist insurgency- makes an exception to this pattern. So the demise of Greece -be it from the hand of the old foe- makes them happy.

It's a collection of crazies. They say we won't leave the euro, we are going to fight for better terms and if that does n't work we 'll see. But it's diffcult to make sense as the lefties are very incoherent and they different things every hour. Their leader mr. Tsipras in a morning show on tv said "the Greek bank system is unstable" then in another tv show in the afternoon "the Greek banking system is very stable indeed" ! Go figure. Surely if the politicians of Greece created the present chaotic situation, that lot did not come out of some parthenogenesis (indeed !). The pink party is 10% original and 90% infusions from the socialists and those latter are considered to have been the chief perpetrators of the economic disaster. Confetti money - embezzlement - wastage of public funds. I don't know what they 're going to do with the euro-supremos, but be it a success or be it a failure they are going to tax even the air we breath. The party faithfuls, the new nomenclature, are like an army of ants waiting to storm into the house. We know what the reds are like, they 've been here all the while but were unable to make any progress. In 80 years of existence the biggest achievement of the reds was to vote tactically in the year 1983 and help some socialist mayor candidate in Athens to win. Whatever else they may have done, from way back in the 1920s when they tried to make the refugees from Minor Asia into party followers ended in dismal failure, because of their utter incompetence and stupidity. The pink party sprouted out of the original communists in the year 1968, just after the invasion of Czechoslovakia I think. They believed in the same things except for the alliance with Moscow. Communism is a system based on lies and repression. No wonder the anti-eu forces are happy with them. They think their presence will precipitate the collapse of the EU - and the currency.

It's not funny. Socialists destroyed my business with huge arbitrary taxes in 1993. Now again, the pinkier version. You do not work for the public sector they say, so you don't count as portected species under socialism. I wish you never have to live under communism. Those people from the neighbouring Balkan countries were jumping over electric fences to come here, even though Greece was not really the richest of countries. It was just like East Berlin-West Berlin. One hid in a refrigirator van to escape and had to have his leg amputated. In 1967-74 we had the junta. This one looks like it's going to be junta ++ because the old junta was not meddling in the economic sphere of things.

Essien is one of the all time blues greats. Better than Steve imho.

There was a man once who murdered his wife, because she took their children away. That man was executed by firing squad - death penalty had not been abolished at the time. Does that mean all separated wives should take the children away -regardless of circumstance- and the father should not see them again ? The issue here is approached with this kind of logic by some.

With the premiership over, I am thinking of the Frenchies. Why bother with capital ? For FA maybe we should compete, if the queen is to attend the final.

Communist takeover in Greece highly probable coming Sunday. Everybody off to the poor house. Clonk-clink, Che Guevara-Fidel Castro. I hope they 're gonna let me watch Chelsea at least.

Off line for 5 days ! Missed the 5-0, also City destroyed I learned today.

In the middle of an eerie snowing night a man decides to go through a graveyard to reach his house quicker. As he walks he hears a repeating "tik-tok-tak-tik-tok-tak" sound and begins to tremble from fear. Suddenly he sees a character infront of him scrabbling with something on a tombstone. - Wh.. what are you doing there ? he asks fearfully. - What can I say to you mate, the other one replies. Those idiots spelled my name wrong !

Turk Hava Yolari = Turkish airlines Turk Deniz Yolari = Turkish sea lines

Andre owns half the world cup but he's not good for Chels ! I wonder. He missed one or two good chances, but Diego missed some too.
