cruiser68: Lindsy, so what your saying is that everyone should keep propping them up. Because of past performances, and current day, "sunshine"!
wave rolling on the floor laughing Cruise, believe it or not, this info popped out of my mind almost instantly. The question has no adverb of time so those things just went right off...But there is nothing wrong with knowing what is in the past is it?

Anyways, my favorite is the story of the Onassis anyways as I can relate to it time wise.

Now if we all become negative and only recognize the failures and weaknesses of the current Greece, yes indeed, they were on the spot three years ago with their bankrupt economy..sad flower

Google provided 85 interesting facts about Greece. Here are my favorites ones:

With 10 million population, 16.5 million tourists visit Greece every year which makes up 16% of their GDP from tourism. Because of this, they have more international airport than most countries in the world, and yet the size of their country is approximately that of the state of Alabama

Greek ships make up 70% of the European Union’s total merchant fleet. According to Greek law, 75% of a ship’s crew must be Greek.


Greece has more archaeological museums than any other country in the world.

255 days of sunshine per year.

Just one "past perfomance" for your info.

The language you speak and write,it is almost 60% Greek.
Either directly from Greek or indirectly via Latin and French.-
