I thought you guys did so well after the first shake but then the second one came along.
Anyway good luck and thanks for John Clarke, I liked his look at the Greek/European mess this week.

JOHN CLARKE: It's very good to be with you. My pleasure. Good evening.
BRYAN DAWE: I understand you're an economist?
JOHN CLARKE: I am an economist. Yes, indeed.
BRYAN DAWE: Right. Do you understand the euro?
JOHN CLARKE: No, I'm an economist. No, you want religious questions, Bryan, you've gotta go and get somebody appropriately qualified. I'm an economist.
BRYAN DAWE: Can you explain to us then the Greek economy?
JOHN CLARKE: Oh, look, Bryan, better value elsewhere, I think. I mean, I wouldn't ...
BRYAN DAWE: Better value elsewhere? What do you mean?
JOHN CLARKE: No, I wouldn't touch it with a pole, Bryan. Don't put your money in there.
BRYAN DAWE: No, no, no; I don't want to invest in it. I'm just asking you to describe it.
JOHN CLARKE: Oh, you're seeking information about it?
BRYAN DAWE: Yeah, information about it. Yeah. 'Cause there's a great amount of nervousness, isn't there ... ?
JOHN CLARKE: Oh, there certainly is, Bryan, and they have, let's face it, very serious structural problems with the Greek economy.
BRYAN DAWE: They're broke.
JOHN CLARKE: They would be if things improved out of sight, Bryan. I think the problem's actually worse than that at the moment.
