Like you I didn't join in Seb Coe's silly game.I refused to acknowledge his clueless efforts to ensure that his mates got all the best tickets and the public were left with the dross. I agree with you on the Greeks...they have brought this upon themselves through greed.bryboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00854869835916315551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6170277338293360731.post-44972969114694394832011-06-23T10:39:21.666-07:002011-06-23T10:39:21.666-07:00Now double-checked and it seems that my posts are ...Now double-checked and it seems that my posts are appearing both here and under you Afghanistan post.<br />Blogger is a joke.bewickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02808667730361613052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6170277338293360731.post-42735484592914206532011-06-23T10:34:35.179-07:002011-06-23T10:34:35.179-07:00oops.

I'm not disappointed that I didn't get a ticket because I didn't even apply. There was no way that I would be visiting London and paying over the odds for accommodation let alone the punitive cost of tickets.<br />Hey I worked in London, the City, for a couple of years or more but my clients paid for the accommodation, the flights/trains, and food - a bit like being an MP except that I didn't finish work on Thursday afternoon and worked 60 hours a week between travel. Yeah sure I was well paid.<br />Let the foreigners spend the cash. We need it. Me - well I'll see the whole thing (or at least the bits I want to see) on TV.<br />EU Where did the cash go? Well some at least goes to Mandy,the Kinnocks, Leon Brittan, Paton, and countless other current and former EU apparatchiks. <br />All sworn to defend the EU or lose their obscene pensions. And many of those are in the HoL so are our legislators. The rest – much is wasted by the obscenely large and unnecessary EU bureaucracy.<br />Greece? Well the Greeks riot to protect their right to retire at 50 (or is it 55) on full pension. Or at least the public servants. They want the rest of us to pay for their cushy lives. Let them sink would be my judgement. Actually the Greek obsession with their massively generous pension arrangements makes Prentis of Unison look almost respectable.<br />There. That feels better.bewickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02808667730361613052noreply@blogger.com
