Greek MPs - And you thought our MPs were bad. Chief business correspondent Louise Armitstead highlights this jaw-dropping claim in today's Open Europe press summary:

On his Coulisses de Bruxelles blog, French journalist Jean Quartemer claims that Greece’s 300 MPs are the best paid in Europe, with a post-tax monthly of salary €8,500. The MPs also receive monthly expenses allowances of €4,900, a €1,200 allowance for participating in parliamentary committees, a €1,800 allowance for office expenditure, while transport is free

A Contrarian Bets Ireland and Hungary Will Rebound

Today, his fund owns at least $2.5 billion in Irish government bonds. His Hungarian bet is even bigger, at more than $3 billion in that shakier country’s debt. The Irish bonds have been the far stronger performers, rallying more than 35 percent from the middle of last year.

I wonder who is going to buy his coupons

BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Hungary is seeking an international credit line of 15 to 20 billion ($20 to $26.3 billion) euros, the secretary of state heading the prime minister's office, Mihaly Varga, was quoted on Saturday as saying.

Bye bye Greece, a poor effort all round.

Although I still think a deal will be agreed, it is pretty irrelevant for the Eurozone.

Not if you are dealing with a Prime Minister who is an ex Goldman Sachs executive. How about taken a cursory glance at some statistics?

BIS tell us that the over the counter derivatives outstanding is €700Tn and rising!

Let's say 30% of these are based in Europe.

Greece has 2% of the European GDP

Greece could account for CDS etc worth about $4,200,000,000,000.

Equivalent to 70% of the world's GDP.

The financial people have this world well screwed up.

Now, the Greeks have the inside track.

They will be no push-overs.

Papademos knows! Knowledge is power! The Greeks will reach their goal!

Thalatta! Thalatta!

Greece is where the imaginary financial world meets the real world.

A very appropriate meeting place in the historical sense.

Is it any wonder Big Man Bernanke is on stand-bye?

What's he got? A row of Squirt Guns across his chest!
