I've just been reading an article on world debt..
apparently, Ireland has the largest Gross private sector foreign owned debt as % of GDP in the world... 900%.. Malta are 2nd with 481%, then Singapore 465%, then Britain are 4th with 364% of GDP... man, I thought we were in a tight corner!!

I´m almost sure our dear friend Fergus KNOWS that we are biased to Abbado, and I don´t mind to declare myself a fan :-)
