Scene... a Square somewhere in Ancient Atheneucia...

Panayia mou Pythagoras , it's very hot today.

Nai, you're right file Plato, it must be the Right-Angled Global Warming I discovered the other day.

Let's have a seat in the shade at this kafenion.

Nai, good idea, we can do some feelosofising over a glass of the new invention, ice-cold frappe, to cool down.

Frappe..? Ah Greek Frappe...?

Yes, yia seeyoura, it was invented in our colony over in Columbineucia you know.

Have we invented the electric refrigerator for the ice?

No, not yet, but some greek is bound to come up with it soon.

Ooooh, that's nice and refreshing.

What on Earth!!! What's with all the commotion? Who is that over there...?

OMG!!! Isn't that Archimedes!??? Why is he running around naked...???!!!... and what is he shouting?

Eureka! ... Eureka!

Reh file Archimedes!!! ... Ella!

Why are you running around without any clothes on and shouting you've found it?

Eureka filoi!!! Eureka!

What exactly have you found yi'onoma dou Zeus ?

I was having a bath and an idea hit me. I was getting into the bath and the water over-flowed the sides and took the soap with it, so I had a moment of inspiration. Look here it is...

Looks like a bar of soap, what's exciting about that?

Oxi... no, not just the soap! Look at the string!

Kyriaillaison Archimedes, yet another great greek invention to ease human life!

Yes, no one will ever lose the soap in the bath again... I'm going to call my new invention... Soap-On-A-Rope.

I sincerely hope the pain of typing this drivel in was greater than the pain I experienced in reading it.

Please, no 'Part 2'.

By the way...in light of your other posts, is this title not racist in the way that Greeks and Greek Cypriots speak? I feel it is and if one person takes ofence, it's offensive. I wonder if the Admin will take it down - I doubt it.

What is offensive about that you humourless twat?

Ah, I see the eloquent amongst you has responded and with vulgarity being the last vestige of the desperate.

Did you think that tripe was hilarous? To mock people because of the way they pronounce words or talk isn't offensive? Would you be able to go into a Chinese or Indian take-away and mock how they talk - would that be hilarious? How about someone with a speech impediment?

You imbecile!

BillC, wrote the post exactly as HE would have spoken it, so is he offending himself?

No matter what his principles are and what he thinks of certain 'parties', to phrase the words how he has is offensive. As I have posted, to phrase words in a mocking tone of how people seem to think another people speak is offensive. If Bill C was a Greek then he could interpret Gtreeks how he wants - he is not, so he can't.

Look at Benny Hill's interpretation of a Chinese guy ("You sirry idiot"); or Jim Davidson's interpretation of a black guy, Chalky Whitey. Hilarious or offensive to those people?

So you are saying that Cypriots aren't Greek?

No. Where did I mention Cypriots weren't Greeks? Cypriots are Greeek, but I don't know what point you're trying to make. Bill C is an Englishman, so cannot mock Greeks with impunity ecause he may be a Grecophile. It's like someone saying "All Pakistanis are c*nts, but I can say that because I like Pakistanis".

If a black man calls another black man a 'n*gger', he can do. But if a white man calls a black man a 'nigger', it's offensive.
It's the same with an Iraishman calling another Irishman 'Paddy' and so on.
