The truth must be told. Zan is a good poet, Kikapu is a good satyrist.

I am glad Zan finally spoke. There's still someone who refuses to speak, hmm...

Yes Pyro, you are right. That would be a break through for this person to actually laugh at the situation and not be obsessed by it.

It can be his "coming out of the closet" moment, for him to be able to laugh at ourselves for a change.

He deserves it. He was a major contributor to the "Report".

I think Kikapu is wasting his time manufacturing chocolates in Switzerland....
He has other talents. All he needs is to find a producer.

Well...In another life I was a TV producer. After Kikapu's effort i might have to come out of semi-retirement,Pyro kardash...

Kikapu...I see a 12 episode scetch comedy in your script.My solicitor will contact your agent at her earliest...Well done,mate.

Bir,

Next time I should spend a little bit more time really concentrate in what I write, so that we can get at least 24 shows to make a season, rather than write just off the top of my head, at the spur of the moment.

But yes, we do have a deal.

Kikapu...forget about the TV series of sketch comedy for now.We need to get some runs on the board before anyone would finance us.

Go ahead and write a full length stage play.
With real characters from the Forum.Then we can form an Ensemble Theatre Company and stage the play in Cyprus,in English. People can play themselves in the play. I know a bit about directing,and I know just the right person to Produce it...

This might be the beginning of the end of the Cyprus Problem.

And here are some ideas for the working title..."Wating for Tasso"..."Get Real in The Trash Can"..'Too late for Talat'...""Prolonging the Problem is Bad Karma"..."True Cypriots Strike Again..."

How about " One sided satire", Piratis comes out smelling of roses", Free Sotos the innocent" and the best title of all for Kikapu must be " All Turks are scum and partitionist with non Cypriot names but please don't kick me off the island Mr GC, I have been working for you all my life".....

Way too long of a Title Zan. People will fall asleep just from reading the title, as people do just by reading your posts.

Bir,

You have a great idea you know. I saw "Saigon" on stage many years ago and from what I remember, it was quite a touching story. We can produce something along those lines, but make it a Comedy by taking the "piss" as to why the Cyprus Problems have continued this long. We will of course treat all those who have died with respect and dignity. All the material we need are already spread out in the Cyprus Forum's 200,000+ articles. The Forum is a "goldmine" with information for our play.

[Kikapu]

Can I say something on a personal note. I have read this "Comedy Report" for about 5 times now, and find it funny each time. Is it me, or is it the case of "it is so ugly that only a mother would love" type of thing. Has anyone read it more than once, and still found it to be funny.?

By the way, in order to find this "report" to be funny, you will need to be "free within yourselves" in order to allow yourself to laugh at the situation, or at least in what the members write on the Forum.

When I read this material, I actually visualise the two leaders in a room together talking like this with their expressions on their faces. Perhaps that is the reason why I find it funny each time I read it.

[Nikitas]

I do find it funny, more funny in fact on the second reading, since I refer back to postings and can discern the mood of the posters and their character. It is a very human comedy.

Thanks for the feedback Nikitas.

Yes, very much. If you understand the nature of the Forum Members
character and how they talk, which is what the whole script was all about for the most part, then one understand the whole plot better.

It helps if one is familiar with the expressions used on the forum before hand.

Kikapu,

I thought about your piece in terms of a tv show. I imagined having an intro, with people sat in front of their PC, teeth gnashing as they type their responses, perhaps hissing to themselves like snakes (well some of them). I even imagine Kifeas and his famous ball squeezing post (sorry Kifea but I cannnot not imagine a cartoon of it!) making the appropriate gestures. This would put the audience in the know about what is to follow. In fact such a show might give foreigners their most enligthening glimpse into our "problem" and the national character, showing how it is something shared that divides us.
