I know Onasis gave sweet fa , I also know that the Lanitis Cypriot family have donated huge sums of money , recently to the Limassol Cancer fund which benefited enormously for the care of cancer sufferers and their families.
I'm just wondering if there has ever been a Greek , mainland , tycoon who gave a little to Cypriot charities , I do not know of any but someone must know , please let us know of any such magnanimous gesture !!
Im sure that Oracle must have some information on the charitable activities of the Greek tycoons.
Discretion, being the better part of valour, is an alien figure in your dealings. Most benevolent people who donate to charity, do not advertise the fact, and this I know is true of Greeks. Which is where
you and
they, part company. Your vulgarity and uncouthness would render you unpalatable to the Greeks which you may have had the opportunity to meet, by virtue of your well-advertised wealth. Perhaps your negative experience of being
shunned in Greece, is at the bottom of your desire to mix with the TCs, who you in turn, can feel superior over.
You are no bastion of Hellenic virtues Miltiades. But we all have to find our niche, and if yours is one more comfortable with the lifestyles of Turks, Brits and Yanks, lacking the essence (ousia) that has preserved our nation for millennia, then call yourself English (as you did on CL) but please have the good grace to leave Cyprus alone, and stop parasitising it as just another source of monetary gains.
Talking about charitable gestures I have just remembered that you and I PLEDGED THE SUM OF 200 EUROS EACH to donate to the Limassol Orphanage , following the American elections. Cut the crap out and cough up. My donation will be presented personaly on my next visit. I will enquire as to yours.
What was it you said about the mainlad Greeks , they donate incognito !!
Measly sods , they dont give a shit, they have an island on which they deposit all their incurably ill and mentally disturbed humans which are looked after by European doctors and nurses since the Greeks are not predisposed to such minial tasks.
Cyprus happens to be my motherland and all Cypriots who can claim the same are my brothers and sisters irrespective whether they are G/Cs T/Cs , Kafenes Cypriots or any other Cypriots.
I have never claimed to be something that Im not , what I do claim is that my children and grand children by virtue of their English mother and grandmother have in their veins English blood , and so do thousands of Anglo Cypriots , including our most famous poofter George Toilet Michael , as well as countless of others.
As for being shunned in Greece , what on earth gave you this idea , I visited Greece on numerous occasions and discovered how corrupt , selfish and uncaring towards Cyprus they all are , frankly my dear we are a pain in their Greek arses , they refused to have us back in 1919 or was it 1922, Grivas in his memoirs tells us how General Papagos firstly as a military man and then in government wanted nothing to do with Cyprus and so did his cronies .
Enough about this foreign land , tell me how is Paphos today , and most importantly have you visited Stroumbi the Great I think you ought soon in order to pay tribute to a true Cypriot !!!
Regards , lots of ...love and kissess
Miltiades Of Cyprus !!!
