O/T, Italy's Nuclear option

[BigFatPie]

Another who doesn't like his view challenged and resorts to derision

You'll be telling us next about how much you dislike it when posters resort to abuse when they disagree with each other.

The key here Vlad is that Driller didn't call you "anecdote" man, he called you "anecdotal evidence man". So you may have 2000 Greek girlfriends, their stories about working there would still mean naff all in the context of the discussion you were having.

Oh I forgot, you don't read my posts, hehe.

Just get your nose bag back on lard arse and FCUK right off.

I'd ask for a refund from that anger management course if I were you Vlad.

Surprised that someone with a law degree doesn't know what anecdotal evidence is, but anyway I asked Google for a definition and it came up with this: Something*anecdotal*has to do with anecdotes*— little stories.*Anecdotal evidence*is based on hearsay rather than hard facts. People like to share stories about things that happened to them, or that they heard about, to make a point. That kind of talk is anecdotal: based on small, personal accounts.

I think it's an appropriate term for your story about the Greek ex girlfriend.

The bail out would not have happened if they were not EU members, it was done to stabilise the Euro and prevent the monetary union from collapsing. Until this loan is repaid, are they net contributors in the true sense?

The same with, Portugal, Greece and ROI

Are you sure you're not confusing Italy with Spain? When was Italy bailed out exactly?

What gives you the right to basically call me a liar?

This, as per you little play above, is a hard fact that I could attest to in court as knowing to be true, this is not an anecdote.

You're becoming a bit of a prick mate.

Approved by the EU, amounts to pretty much the same thing.

I may not know feck all about banking, but if I money in Italian banks, I'd be worried. Just because it hasn't happened yet, is no defence
