By the time Turkey is ready to sign the accession treaty there will not be a EU worth joining...Those of you who have put all your eggs in the EU basket will be terribly disappointed...

For your info, the EU is the world’s wealthiest entity so the chances of Turkey (your chosen route to gypsydom) outliving the EU is zero!

yOU WANT A BET? By the time the EU resques all those economically struggling members (Greece,Spain,Portugal...to begin with) political will of the economic powerhouses would run out...Or they themselves would become as poor as a church mouse...World's resources cannot support the liberal capitalist free market economy ,as we know it,for much longer...It will be everybody for themselves pretty soon...Then we shall see the rats deserting the sinking ship...I am not gloating over this by the way...Our children will see very diffcult times ahead...

Too many countries will be too preocuppied with their revolting populations to worry about our little problem in our little island...And the first thing that will suffer will be democracy and human rights, as countries become more and more authoritarian..Nothing much to look forward to I am afraid...

You’re jumping on the doom & gloom bandwagon just because Greece has mismanaged her affairs but so what? It would be petty cash for the EU to prop Greece up if they wanted to but why should they?

But anyway, if the EU was to go down what makes you think Turkey would survive?

Stop with this doom and gloom about Turkey. She will never be allowed to go under, America will see to that.

I took an extensive walk around the old Venetian part of Famagusta last year. It broke my heart. This should be one of the jewels in the crown of Cyprus tourism. Instead it is gradually crumbling away into oblivion.

So did I and feeling is mutual. My heritage is crumbleing before my very eyes.

I made a mistake and took my Catholic girlfriend with me and broke her heart too. She was very upset for months.

Not surprised. Having you for a boyfriend would be upseting for any girl. Catholic or not.

Although I've been over many times before,my need to take the family to Larnaca Airport by lunch time left me with a spare afternoon, so despite the gloomy and rather cold weather,I decided to have another look at the town I now despair of ever returning to live in.Maybe because it was winter and many things were closed,but the whole place seemed very sombre and cheerless.The closed part of Varosha looked more eerie than ever with its faded and decaying buildings creating an atmosphere which is impossible to describe in words.(By the way it did not look as heavily guarded as it did in summer and there were many deserted spots where it was tempting to climb over the fence and try exploring?)I drove through a few other villages-Acheritou,Kalopsida etc. on the way back,and they seemed much more decrepid than when I last went to them some years ago.
This is the reality of Cyprus today,not the theoritical debates about legal nuances and political shenanigans-coming back to this side only made me feel worse with flash new cars and vulgar new buildings everywhere....The Cyprus we older people yearn for is gone,it's remnants slowly crumbling away with the remains of Varosha!I really suggest the political leaders on both sides should be forced to take a tour together around the whole island-and then wake-up to reality instead of insulting our intelligence any more!

Let's not forget the blame is solely on your community for these sad state of affairs.

Attaboy!!

She is very happy thank you. But I had to give her extra comforting and all that what?
So every time I need some extra comforting I now know what to do

No, I accept no blame whatsoever, we are totally innocent of all that has happened since 1960.

It's funny you say that because we feel totally innocent since 1570 when something terrible happened...

Obviously Pissartists relentless piss-posts are working. So, its fine for me to be penalised for what happened 400 odd years back, if so then fuck me, I have a lot to answer for.

400 years back? Today you are illegally occupying 1/3rd of Cyprus keeping 100s of thousands of people out of their homes. Today is not "400 odd years back" is it?

You don't want to be blamed for what you are doing today and yet you want to blame us for what happened about half a century ago, even though you are the ones who started the problems back then as well (in June 1958)? How come?

When we talk about 1571 we are not talking about something that you did once 439 years ago. We are talking about what you are doing constantly - NON STOP since then and until today.

And now you are looking for excuses to continue with more of the same crimes against us in the future as well, by repeating over and over your own distorted version of a single decade that happened half a century ago!
