No, you are thinking of Oliver Reed and Alan Bates wrestling naked, in that Ken Russell/D. H. Lawrence classic (you naughty boy, you! :wink: ) ...


No hes thinking of Turksish oil wrestling, where they cover each other in oil then put their hands down each others Yfronts.



:oops: Yfronts Insan and Runaway, wheres Baycrap?



Well, it did get the late Melina Mercouri salivating in Topkapi. Or perhaps she is an olive oil afficianado.

CHEESECAKE !!! :D


Cheesecake is a beloved dessert around the world. While many assume that it has its origins in New York, it actually dates back much further. Let's go back over 4,000 years to ancient Greece! Sit back, grab a creamy slice of cheesecake and learn all about this dessert’s rich history.

The writer Athenaeus is credited for writing the first Greek cheesecake recipe in 230 A.D. (By this time, the Greeks had been serving cheesecake for over 2,000 years but this is the oldest known surviving Greek recipe!) It was also pretty basic - pound the cheese until it is smooth and pasty - mix the pounded cheese in a brass pan with honey and spring wheat flour - heat the cheese cake “in one mass” - allow to cool then serve.

Voting rights for women were granted in 1924 and established by 1929 although women had an active role in governance since classical times, with some states being purely matriarchal.

And it all went down hill from there! :lol:

It was actually 1952 when women were granted suffrage in Greece. I really do wonder where you get your facts from. Do you make it up?
