Anyway in an attempt to get back on post I'll submit another small contribution and would also take the liberty of refering some members to the nearest boxing ring.

My wife has an elderly aunt, displaced from a village in Famagusta District and now living in a village to the east of Larnaca. A very warm and lovely lady who cannot drive but who takes every opportunity to visit her old village. She has visited five or six times in the last couple of years.

I took her to her village. She sought out her new friends. She has become known to the new villagers, some of who greeted her by name and they stood and chatted in 40 degrees of heat, which is 20 degrees more than I find comfortable. Do you know what they talked about? It wasn't bizonal, bipedal, bicycle federations etc. etc. I heard them talking as all elderly Cypriot ladies do about their various "pains", the size of their "bunions", their "operations" etc which I found delightful and encouraging.

Kikapoulous let me start with.....

the fact that you decided to add a greek ending to kikapus name is disgusting. you have used it already a number of times, and allow me to say it makes you no different from our nationalists.

Well seeing that he is closer to GC assimilation than many I thought I d help him along and give him a taste of what his name would be live when he joins his GC brothers.

I am not acquainted with Tassos or the limit, or otherwise, of his ability to tell stories so cannot comment.

Let me however put before members, who may be interested in this thread, another incident in my small adventure to the north of last Summer.

It was during the visit and I refer to the above, when I took the elderly aunt to her old village. It was getting so hot. You know the sort of midday heat when your shoes are sticking to the road. I made my excuses, took my leave and returned to the car and sat on a low wall, in the main street, in the shade opposite my wife's old home.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw a middle-aged chap cycling up the road. When I say cycling I would stress that this chap was all over the place and there was something in his demeanor that made me feel that he had a screw loose, in his head that is, not on his bike. I could not have been more wrong. There was also something about his behaviour which said to me that he was going to stop and talk to me.

He did stop and get off his bike and sat down on the wall next to me. I tried to talk to him and he to me. I tried to "talk" about the weather. He spoke no English and I speak no Turkish. I offered him a cigarette and a can of drink and we went on waving our arms around.

At this time my wife and her aunt returned and I pointed at my wife and at the house opposite to indicate that she used to live there. The man repeated my gestures and obviously understood. He got up off the wall, went across the road and knocked on the door. After a while a lady comes to the door. They exchanged a few sentences in Turkish after which the lady allowed my wife into her old home to look around. My wife had left in about 1966 and so this was the first time she had seen the old house in 40 years.

Boys and Girls, please don't pick on poor VP by defending me. I was not here today to answer most of his posts. Little people with losing arguments always resort to the gutter. I know how to handle Mr. Big Shot Propagandist. All he's doing is digging himself deeper in a hole...a shit hole to be precise. I'll make sure I'll provide him with a spoon, when ever he gets hungry, and VP likes to get hungry a lot. !

Bon Appetit VP.!

VP .... now is the leader of the Greek Speaking Cyp's .... what will it be tomorrow when he is gone? The reality is some Turkish Speaking Cypriots because of their own personal situation DO NOT and WILL NOT want to see a Unified Cyprus. Likewise Some Greek Speaking Cypriots bacause of their personal situation DO NOT & WILL NOT want to see a UNIFIED Cyprus.

Well my friend, people on this forum are probably the voice of the very few elite who have had an education, have access to health care, middle class emplyment opportunities, own their own business, able to buy a computer, live outside Cyprus, have not had to put up with the hardship faced by the majority of Cypriots on both sides, so we are not the majority of representation of Cypriots. I think people on both sides genuinely want to live together. This does not include low life scum of British citizens who exploit Greek Speaking refugee property or thousands of settlers for reasons of their own would not want to see a unified Cyprus and of course Turkey and her interest.
