Man, today was a bad day for Spain.

Its King tripped and fell:





Then the Giant Flag at the Columbus Square in Madrid, a symbol of the nation, mysteriously fell off:



After that, the stock market crashed:



And the interest on the debt skyrocketed.

Frankly, the country is falling apart at the seams.

Hopefully the king didn't 'accidentally' shoot anybody after his fall.
PDH!

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

man, he really face planted.

When referring to the stock market we normally dont refer to it as "he".

 I was hoping this thread was about the secession of the semiautonomous provinces.

Of course, with disasters in spain, it could easily turn into such :)
It can't be helped...We'll have to use 'that'

A 5% drop isn't great, but we'll see what happens tomorrow.  Then again, Spain's got bigger problems then the stock market.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Army colours.

It's probably just a coincidence that the stock market fell with the ECB's latest policy announcement. The real reason must be the king and the flag.

Draghi really grinded my gears today. Fucking Europeans.

You should know now Ed. Whenever there's an ECB press conference everything goes to shit.
Let's bomb Russia!

I was actually unprepared. I didn't realize there was a conference. I've been slightly out of the loop.
