easy everyone. you can all breathe a sigh of relief... it took us a few pages but we've finally figured the article was satirical... honest... so go back to sleep my fine greek specimens; drink your coffee till 4pm, party all through the night, avoid your taxes, study to be teachers till you're 35, and accept all the bail outs from your euro buddies... 'cos the historians didn't make it all up.... your ancestors were great, and only a couple of thousand years ago....


Let's go back over the thread and see who you did fool ...

...... erm ... Fig head, that's one .... and ... erm .... erm ...

No one else!

You have lost none of your arrogance, I see -- another give-away trait/trade-mark.
