What with CBBB becoming a Cypriot ( should change his name to BBBNAC - think about it?) I'll have no one to drink with soon

You can go find that other snotty Brit Grumpy, and go drink with him!

No reference here to an Olympic Gold Medal.

Surely if a Cypriot has ever won one it should be easy to give details.

Conor's case is now being reported in the Greek newspapers.

[supporttheunderdog]

and of course dont forget that other guarantor Greece, who in words of Big Mak, to the UN in June 74 also invaded! For all his faults and mistakes, Tofi had that spot-on!

A military junta is always a very vulnerable state because every body (military, police, judiciary, etc) is geared against its own civilians so they are useless against an organized invading military force. They’re very lucky Turkey didn’t also turn in their direction or they’d lose the top half with the incompetent Ioannidis at the helm.

I think you are pretty well spot on with this, but a war sometimes will bring the populace behind an otherwise unpopular leader, particularly if one wins. Loosing however will almost certasinly cause a dictatorship to collapse. The failure of the Cyprus venture brought down the Junta.

He may be talented but the claim referred to Cypriot Gold Medal Winners.

Whilst even tiny Leichenstein with a population of approximately 36,000 has won 2 Gold medals the fact is Cyprus has never ever won an Olympic medal , not even a bronze one.

Not a single one. None, zilch, nowt, zero.

It seems to be a GC trait to confuse wishfull thinking with fact.

You seem to be assuming that “gold”, “silver”, and “bronze” medals are only awarded in the Olympics but that’s not the case.

An athlete can also get gold in the world championships as an example.

This man's shooting accomplishments are pretty impressive...

The specific claim was thus

If it was deliberate, they wouldn't have missed. We have Olympic Gold medal winning shooters.

So made up 'facts' again.

[Schnauzer]

What about the gold medal for 'N.I.D.' ?

It’s more a case of some people clutching at straws!
