A drachma for the road, anyone?

In ancient Greece it was said that the truth is heard from angry enemies or from good friends. So who then fits in where in contemporary Greece? Who's on the coveted party invitation list? Who's overstayed their welcome and who's left early?

Paradoxically, the Greek merrymakers are seemingly unconvinced that the party is over......

Trichet is predictably neither friend nor foe.  Like the IMF he covets his status. Social networking is not always friendly. Theirs is a relationship less intimate than friendship. Germany's Weidmann is seemingly p*ssed and wants his gift back. Merkel's smile lingers.... her banker friends long gone once the ouzo ran out.

Besides the Greekshs, the ECB is still toasting the wake because there's nothing more boring than a sanctimonious ex-drunk..
