Carol, do NOT misquote me.

I didn't say we're as fucked as Iceland. I said we're just as fucked-off with the situation. Clearly American-"English" doesn't understand the term "fucked-off" - I guess your equivalent woiuld be "pissed". "Fucked-off" = "Pissed" or, as we say it, "Pissed-off". Compre?

I say again - we're as "pissed" (or "pissed-off", or "fucked-off") about the Financial situation as Skarpi and his chums. I have personally seen the pension fund I've saved in for thirty years 'bomb', just as I'm looking to retire in a year or so, so I face a retirement of comparative poverty and hardship, but:-

We did NOT declare war on Iceland
We have NOT accused Icelanders of being terrorists (even though they behaved like terrorists in trying to kill British fishermen plying their trade during the Cod Wars)
We have NOT threatened to bomb their fuckin' embassy.

Anyone who says otherwise is either a bone-head or a plain, simple liar.

That's all Villan and I, and others like us are saying. What don't you understand about that?
