Caption Competition: Greek PM Meets His Economic Inspiration
What could the Greek PM and Gordon Brown have to say to each other? I'll kick things off...
A two way bubble saying: "I learnt everything I know about economics from you".

"Mr Brown, would you like the Greeks to underight some of your borrowing? You seem to be in deep trouble in your economy!"
Actually Brown's inflation-control policy was copied from Albania, where it resulted in the insolvency of the two largest banks (both state-owned). So, "Don't worry about the economy: just organise rioting in the streets and you'll be OK"

Jonah Brown Curses Greece
BROWN: I was told to beware of Greeks bearing gifts, but you haven't got anything to bring.
Brown to Papandreou "Now, just explain to me again those derivative transactions that removed the borrowing from your books........"
"We're so screwed" ?
We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. Both countries are fucked. It's the biggest cock-up ever. We're both completely fucked.
Yes but Gordon, how do you keep a straight face when you're saying it?
Brown is saying, "My plan is to sell the Port of Dover, then Kent and Sussex in blocks of 100 hectares."

From the cradle of civilisation -
to the grave
Lost any marbles recently?
Both together:
Economics, it's all Greek to us!
What use were eyes to me? nothing i could see could bring me joy.........
"Yes, it is strange, but I always look as if I have been Photoshopped into a photograph"
Or
"Yes, other people have told me my head is too big for my body."
So you want to know how to get rid of all that pesky democracy you invented? Come on in..
Double bubble "Can you lend me a couple of billion?"
Can I have my hand and rings back please Prime Minister Brown>
BROWN: "Are you the Greek tragedy?"
PAPA: "Yes, and you're the British farce."
Stavros: That's two koftas, a lamb kebab and hummus. Can you pay for your takeway please sir?
Brown: Do you take Junk Bonds please?
"Oh and I'm sorry I threw that mobile at you."
"Never mind Gordon, we will still welcome you when you come to Greece - just don't mention the IMF."
Are you the good example or the dire warning?
Stavros: Do you do Greek?
Stalin: Yes. That'll be 500 billion quid, please.
'We've agreed a joint strategy for cutting our repective deficits. 'We've put the Elgin Marbles on E-Bay'
"Two way bubble"...
Bubble & squeek is rhyming slang for Greek.
Another fine mess you've got me into Stanley
