Godzilla

The editor of web publication Capital Madrid, Alberto Valverde, is mooting the possibility of a merger between Banco Financiero y de Ahorros - official name of the megafusion and conversion to a bank of Caja Madrid, Bancaja and several others - and no less than BBVA, all under the leadership of Rodrigo Rato. The resultant beast, were it to be born today, would sport 880 billion euros in assets.

For readers not able to read Spanish, the Google Translate version will prove less than helpful. But it is pretty funny.

It's about time Spain had some of its own too-big-to-fails. Maybe Germany will be nicer to us then.

To me it's like a bunch of drunk gamblers yelling "double or nothing!"

Has he just come back from spending the weekend with you in amongst your olive trees or what?!
