I don't think we are hostages. We are players.

The Euro belongs to Cyprus too.

Pawns are meant to be sacrificed to keep the game going.

Nifty pawns can turn into Queens.

According to some voices here, you don't play well together

We are all on the same boat (Eurozone), i.e., we are part of the system, either they like it or not.

Economically, Cyprus is of no significance to the eurozone. It's the precedent that is the most dangerous. If Cyprus leaves the eurozone (or tax deposits) that creates a whole new ball game.

Why leave the eurozone? The eurogroup is still ready to loan us 10B euro, and that's a fact.

I know that mate. I didn't claim otherwise; I was simply stating the Cypriot citizens' employment options.

OK, but they are mostly theoretical. I often read about highly qualified Spanish engineers and so on, that aren't left a tiny chance in the job market here. Mostly a language issue, probably, but where should the Cypriots go? To Greece with its 20% unemployment? To UK?

To the UK! I will work for GIG.

Don't worry. I forgot most of your lingo, although it could be useful getting a job in Norge.

^^I will have to go classified again.

Anyway I would rather get a job in Scotland to support the independence movement.

Capital controls to be implemented in Cyprus - DJ

Dow Jones newswires is reporting the bank reform legislation which is being submitted to the Cypriot parliament tonight will impost capital controls on its banking sector.

That will restricted the amount of money that can be taken out of a bank (when they reopen).

Quite a moment for the single currency.

More and more speculation that Laiki is in deep trouble, and cashpoint withdrawals from it restricted to 260 Euros per person daily.
