Life in Greece is great! It is nice living in a place that actually has fall weather (as opposed to Tennessee, which in the fall was hot, cold, hot, cold, hot, then finally cold for the winter, ugh).
I confess I don't really like Retsina. Ouzo is good, but I don't drink it much. I stick to Jack Daniels mostly. =p
I really hope Greece wins the next two World Cup qualifying games and makes it to the World Cup. Winning the World Cup would be something, wouldn't it?
EllasDevil, you were one of the honkers, weren't you? =p
Mel, the answer to your question is... possibly!! I may have made some noise but don't worry. I paid for it!
As for your question 'Seriously Ill', the winning basketball team consisted of Theodoros Papaloukas, Vasilis Spanoulis, Nikolaos Zisis, Giannis Bourousis, Panagotis Vasilopoulos, Antonis Fotsis, Nikos Hantzivrettas, Dimos Dikoudis, Kostas Tsartsaris, Dimitris Diamantidis,Lazaros Papadopoulos, Mihalis Kakiouzis. Oh and the head coach was Panagiotis Giannakis.
So yeah, if you want to educate me as to how many of those players are American, Lithuanian, Australian and Slavic and to the reason they are not Greek then I'd be interested to hear...
Seriously ill, you remind me of these people who constantly bitch when their team loses and blame it on the weather, the umpires, the spectators, the hard ground, the wrong sized balls, anything but the truth.
Oh, no wait! There was no "YOUR" team in this, was there? So you're even worse. What would spawn such a comment I wonder? You have no interest in this (you're German?). Instead of being glad good basketball was played, someone won and someone came second (which is not bad), you go on to say what you did. An uninformed comment - worse, spiteful and slanderous. Well, I'm happy for Greece, I'm happy for Germany (good game), happy for France and everyone else who participated. Somehow your comment makes me even happier - it must have struck some cord, one you might want to have looked into, not the healthiest on you. I won't go on for fear of becoming too caustic and perhaps unfair... you know why you do the things you do, for whom and to what aim. I hope.

Greece has been on a roll for the last couple of years, what with victories in the Eurosoccer, Olympics, Eurovision and now Eurobasketball.

This is basketball you're talking about right? How many of the "Greek" players were American, Lithuanian, Australian and Slavic?
