Interesting. In the sci-fi TV series Fringe, in the alternate universe, sheep had been killed off globally by a mysterious flu.

... fark, I fucked a lamb last week and now have a cold

[mashman]

Thank god for that.
Otherwise we would be a US state by now.
American Samoa isn't that far away from us.

Does that mean we're going to be the arrrrrsore of China?

I dunno. I've got a bit of a cold and can't hear much of anything t the moment.
Not sure what you mean there?
I dunno.
I dunno.

What I mean?

I was asking you questions about your own post.
Perhaps you're overdoing the coldrex...

Troll?!!
There's only one troll here, sport.
You post any old shit that comes into your 'puter, and then refuse to discuss it.

Yet you don't debunk it with evidence (yes I realise the hypocrisy, but at least I realise it). I'm happy to learn otherwise. Troll.

Actually I was trying to puzzle a link between the stuff you had posted.
How can I give you evidence for something that is nonsensical?

For example: you said that our Govt. borrowed money from the EU.
It doesn't. So how do I disprove a nonsense?

We borrow from the IMF don't we? Hence why we slavishly follow the IMF recommended practices?

Actually about two thirds of Govt. borrowing is Govt. Stock and Treasury Bonds.

Fair enough.

Doesn't it?

So that's 2/3 internal borrowing. Don't know about the ratios but the Greek used Govt bonds as well which they were able to lower the return on as part of the package that caused their people to get upset. Where does the other 1/3 come from? This is the important part, the tail that wags the dog so to speak.

That 2/3's includes overseas borrowing.

OK but they are still buying bonds and stocks. What about the other 1/3?

Who are the buyers/who did we give IOU's to to borrow money?
