Charly was my beloved brother in law. He knew of Caroline's illness and would understand my predicament, as indeed most of you with the exception of, on the other hand, I will leave this for another time.

Caroline had been in comma for 3 days, my beloved daughter in law has now passed away, 4 days after my brother in law. She was a mere 41 years old !!!

My worst fears have been realized, I will stand by my son, 20 years they had been together ...

Oh dear, Milty, I am so sorry to hear of this horrible trauma in your life yet again and the sad passing of someone so young. My sincerest condolences to your son for his loss. You did the right thing. To be there for your young daughter-in-law and now your grieving son. Your friend, Charly, is long gone, and will understand the living took priority. And now, you have many events in which to honour and remember both their memories.

N.B. Will the ISIS-loving trolls with evil intents kindly desist from provoking this sad life situation!

Garavnoss - I am particularly ashamed of your stance as you otherwise show a modicum of intelligence!

You're a very nasty individual which I am grateful to have discovered a long time ago.

You should be very ashamed of yourself for all the stupid antics and games you have played as well as all the vitriolic personal jabs. One can only imagine what kind of a sad case you are in real life. I actually feel very sorry for you.

Secondly, there are no right or wrong answers in things like this. I for one, consider loyalty to a very select group of life-long friends as something very important, on par if you like to family. Probably a foreign concept to someone like you, but sometimes your life experiences do in fact shape you especially with individuals you have experienced the same challenges and fears with because you get to know a lot about people in such situations, a lot more than just going to the pub with a few friends or whatever it is you do.

You insinuate this is wrong. What the fuck do you know? And on top, you make accusations that we don't have friends and even stoop so low to insult our intelligence.

Well, I am sorry but it is YOU that appears to be unintelligent and very low.

And I maintain my criticism towards you that you're a very calculating and cold individual. So I am not surprised that you would so flippantly reject this concept of loyalty which does not only apply to family, or the living. I don't blame you for your outlook either because that is the way you were bought up.

If Garavnoss, really believes in the values that he claims to believe in (rather than use this to take a personal jab at Milti), then I commend him wholeheartedly and take my hat off to him with respect. These are values which are rare, most commonly held by individuals which had these values smashed into them. I am not surprised you do not possess such values to be honest.

There is nothing more sacred than sticking with your mates, through thick and thin, in life and death. It would have been easy to arrange a flight to Cyprus to attend the funeral and return quickly, within 24 hours even and Milti's Son wouldn't have even noticed. Not being critical at Milti either, as people can only do what they are comfortable with. But I would have done everything in my power to go and return without affecting my Son.

Have a nice Sunday.

It is now even more apparent that the call from Milti's son could have come at anytime after Milti's first post and I think he made the right call. I otherwise personally think Garavanoss was simply taking the opportunity to troll Milti, as he has done in so many other of his posts. Except for a sincere desire to troll Milti I don't think he has any other honest intent in his posts.

Thought I'd lay back and allow you all the pleasure of having a pop before I responded.

I STILL maintain that "Old Lick Arse" [as I have become accustomed to addressing him] should have gone to pay his last respects to his "Great Friend" Charly regardless of what may have taken place during his short absence whilst doing so.

Since he took it upon himself to advertise his personal appraisal of Charly, one would have expected him to act in accordance with what is generally expected of a grief-stricken friend upon the occasion of death.

Unless the object of the disclosure was yet another opportunity for "Old Lick Arse" to have a whine, whimper and whinge in order to attract sympathy from decent members who might be lulled into forgetting the filth and abuse he is capable of hurling at any who may dare to contradict his inane ramblings.

Any "Hypocrite" who can glorify the destruction of innocent civilians on the one hand and mourn the death of a single person on the other, deserves ALL the contemptuous flack his whingeing little pleas for sympathy attracts.

Charly is better off without the friendship of such a little jellyfish, if he was MY mate I would have been there and that's IT.

Can you think of no circumstances whereby you may have been unable to attend?

I'm with you on this. I would have made every attempt to attend even under such difficult circumstances.

No! Not for a real very close friend anyway. It would be difficult to not attend such funerals. But these types of friends are rare.

But of course there would be many funerals I wouldn't attend under such circumstances. It just depends on the type of friendship with the deceased.

[miltiades]

Paphits and the piece of shit are talking Fucking rubbish, now both of you clear off, you stupid bastards.

[Paphitis]

It seems that no one here has any understanding of what friendship actually is.

Most of us have over a hundred so called 'friends' or associates. I prefer to call them acquaintances. then you might have up to 50 or so friends. People you might go out with, spend some time with etc.

Then you got your REAL friends. Some people don't have any, and those who do only have a few of them or even just 1. Everyone has heard the saying, "you can count your real friends on 1 hand"

Today, it is a lot harder to make real friends. Social media and technology is quite intrusive and occupying this valuable space. Unfortunately, people are less social, less trusting and less open. Everyone has their little wall.

I have had many interesting discussions about REAL friends Vs family. You are all aware that you can "choose your real friends but not your family". This discussion is actually quite interesting, because it allows me some insight into the Greek/Cypriot cultures which have a strong family focus. I had this discussion with my Father in Law one time who said to me "that family always comes first" and by that he meant extended family. I said that "REAL friends come first" and I will explain why.

Your REAL friends, in my opinion, are at least on par with even your immediate family, maybe even your Mother and Father. They are among the most important people in your life. I say this, because actually making a REAL friend is a very rare occurrence and often these friendships are forged under very extreme and very intense circumstances. For instance, my Father in Law was a POW in a Turkish Prison in Adana. This is an extreme life event for this man to say the least. You can understand that under such conditions, the bonds that were developed with other inmates, would be life changing for him. Same with Japanese WW2 POWs. OK these are very extreme circumstances which most of us will have no knowledge of.

So let's talk about some more realistic scenarios, such as growing up through School with the same kid, or attending university, or something that is very relevant to all GC boys - National Service. The scenarios are obviously not limited to these. My Father met his life long friend on the boat to Australia and from there that REAL friendship lasted 50+ years.

The point is, your REAL friend will always be there for you. He or she is that voice that tells you to keep going no matter how hopeless. You inspire each other. You will do anything for each other and you know this from the experiences you have shared with each other, some extremely intense experiences I might add.

It seems the only person who knows what REAL friendship is, and loyalty, is Garavnoss.

Now, this post is just a statement. It's not intended to offend but if offence is taken, then obviously the offended doesn't want to heed its message. That's fine by me. Everyone grieves in different ways and its none of my business aside from offering my sincere condolences.

[miltiades]

Just like the piece of shit, you are too are full of crap. Naive, insecure and fucking stupid.
Daughter in law in coma and you would fly on a Friday and come back the same you blithering idiot.

When and if you reach my agae then perhaps you may grow up, in the meantime pay uyour respects to thye piece of shit who supportys and considers ISIS as courageous. Your fucking stupidity is evident for all top ee.
Worry not, when this thing is over I will respond good and proper, in the meantime go and fuck the pice of shit you so admire.

[Paphitis]

Yes I would have flown out and that is pretty much that and I would have been back in a matter of 20 hours or thereabouts.

Your daughter and law could still be living.

Caroline is my sons wife, 41 years old. In semi coma for weeks now, cancer in the brain. Unable to stand, walk, eat drink or perform any bodily functions. My son is devastated, relies on me for support, sends me numerous texts daily from Cornwall where he took Caroline to her parents house about 6 weeks ago, doctors say, final stages, could be today, tomorrow this week or next.

You can also text from Cyprus.

Sorry Milti, but I don't mean to be insensitive, but of course I would go and see my REAL mate off and I would at the same time offer the Son every support he needed and be back right next to him as quick as a flash.

You see things differently to me.

I don't know why you have an issue with that.

It would appear that the "Mourning Period" is over already, "Old Lick Arse" is back to his usual self.
