Meteors I know nothing about but GCs i do so I have to take all the precautions I can not to regret listening to people like you who live thousands of miles away and find it so easy to dictate to people who are in the front line.
VP, may I ask how long you have lived in Cyprus.
You really do not have to answer it, and I will not push you, I swear.
I'm just trying to figure out something, but can't do it, if i don't know, how long you have been living in Cyprus. And also, you said that you did not live in London. Were you by any chance, living in the Hounslow area, like some of my relatives from Kaymakli.
I lived in London for a long time but not in the Hounslow area.
Fair enough.
The reason I ask is, I grew up in North London, like most TC's and GC's in the 70's and 80's, and it wasn't always comfortable living there. There were always little gangs, that went on picking fights and bullying kids, specially in school. These were mostly English skin head types and later on, there were more and more groups, made up of blacks. So as kids, we grew up having to defend ourselves, and learned to be self reliant if you like, so that's why, I do not let "invisible fears" to control me. So when you say, I dictate from a distance, when you have to live with it, I'm just wondering, if you really had faced any fears, where you had to defend yourself, or has it been, all imaginary for you. If you have lived in Cyprus for a long time, then that too would explain why you would feel "naked" without the Turkish Army, since you see them, as your protectors, which gets you off the hook, having to defend yourself, metaphorical speaking. This may be the reason, why it is always the what if's, that you always ask, because of your own insecurities about facing day to day involvement, with the GC's, if and when, we have a settlement.
Anyway, I'm just making an observation, and nothing more.
