    Well thats not going to happen any time soon.

    Was in Centrelink last week and they told me to go on Disabilty Support Pension.

    Have filled out the forms and handed them back in.

    Gotta wait 6-8weeks for a response.

    I'm so bored at home that i'm still applying for casual work even though I dont need to.

    My new medical certificate says i dont have to look for work for 3 months.

    I'm BORED and BROKE!!!

    EU summit on Greece cancelled
    2 minutes ago

    Finnish minister Alexander Stubb: "The conditionality presented by the Greeks is simply not enough"
    A summit of all European Union members planned for Sunday has been cancelled as "very difficult" talks over a third bailout deal for Greece continue.

    Again, should be an interesting day on the markets tomorrow. There will still be plenty of double-talk and contrary reports to try and support them, but it should still be a solid sell day tomorrow.

    Why am I getting the impression Greece is expecting the EU to give them a rimjob, and tht the EU is balking but they know they'll give in eventually despite the fact that waxing is not something the Greeks will be considering?

    If Greece does ending up leaving the Eurozone either temporarily or permanently, it wouldn't surprise me if they receive external funding from the US/UK or similar in an effort to prevent a pivot to Russia. It would also give both the ECB an excuse to expand its QE program in an effort to prevent any kind of credit crunch and also in the last couple of months despite the QE program inflation figures have been falling again in the Eurozone. It would also give the US Fed an excuse to avoid raising interest rates due to the global economic uncertainty surrounding Europe.

    The Greece Gambit.

    But an excuse for the Fed not to raise rates will translate into the RBA being forced to lower rates here.

    Interesting times.

    I'm all for profiting from the suffering of others if I can't do anything about it and I'll happily take the metal rise and sell euro/dollar, but the euro was a good idea, is a good idea. It only has to prevent one continental war to pay for itself 10 times over.

    I have asked chiropractor if an operation can be done and he said NO.

    The xrays show that one verterbrae is sitting about 10cm forward of the one below it.

    Its right in the lower curve of my back.

    Having a big largish stomach does'nt help the curve of my back as it puts more force on the weak verterbrae.

    I'm not sure of which number verterbrae it is i need to study the xrays better.

    If prevents me from lifting anything over 15kgs.

    Yeah, the 10cm spinal displacement will make for fascinating viewing.

    People who qualify for the dsp receive extra funding if their iq is lower than 70.

    I don't suppose constantly reading doomsday news on the internet helps your panicking?
