Your creativeness is unmatchable Kiks.

I could put forward the "Athena Wall" but I am sure that it would not stand up in court :wink:


You're right. It has to be fairly "neutral" name.!

Perhaps call it the "Ass Wall", after the Cypriot Donkeys. :idea:


:idea: How about Wayward Wall, Kikapu? It's a bit more euphamistic, but makes the same point. :wink: ...And if you make it from stray pieces of wood, Greeks might call it To Ntixo tou Stravoksylou. Turkish translation anyone??? Ooooo! All kinds of symbolism, double entendre, and mataphor!


Good as any other name so far Filitsa.

Perhaps it should be called "Turkey Wall", since the TC's will disappear over time, just leaving the Turks behind.

By the way, I don't want a wall between Cypriots, but it is the Partitionist that want to divide Cyprus and the Cypriots, so Kifeas suggested how to help them, for once and for all, after the Partitionist get their percentage, which might be as much as a circumcised foreskin in relationship to what it was attached on to, to begin with. :lol: :lol:


Hence my original suggestion, The Wall Of Circumcision...It keeps growing on me...ehm...It used to anyway! :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol:


Bir,

"The wall of circumcision" is your baby. We are just building on that idea. :lol:

Now, if there are some adult male GC's who would want to make a "little" contribution to Bir's wall, they are more than welcome to it.....

If that were to happen, we may have to change the name of the wall to "Weeping Wall" instead. :lol: :lol:



Come on Kikapu. It doesnt hurt that much.Its the fear that makes you cry. All you feel is the cold steel and ouch........the lokum in your mouth and end of story. :lol: :lol:

Its growing on me now. Hmmm 'Sunnet Duvari' . Any more takers? :lol: :lol:


There is a man in Turkey that does it with a lazer...No pain at all.


I really feel uneasy with the name you have chosen Deniz......The Jews hang notes on their wall, or is that the Chinese?...I dread to think what your one will look like.... :shock: :lol:



I am assuming you are referring to the name 'Braying wall', which is the name I chose. Donkey droppings have their uses. If you are an apiarist, donkey droppings will burn with a lovely aroma and render bees harmless, and honey farming painless. :lol: :lol:

Deniz,

Speak for yourself friend. Me and my brother as well as dozens of other boys all got "clipped" at the same time, outdoors on a Heliport in Nicosia, shortly after we were released from 1 week captivity by the GC Soldiers in 1963.

I don't remember getting a "lokum" either. There was a war going on, so we had to do without the "lokum". :cry: :cry:

I think there were enough "material" to build the "Sunnet Duvari" back then. :lol: :lol:



Hold it there mate. Dont blame me for the lack of lokum. Please. You can blame the GC embargoes on sugar and re-directing the available sugar to Lefkara so that only Lefkar Lokoumi / delight was made. You can now be angry at them, OK? :roll: :roll:

Deniz,

I had not seen the braying wall name you chose. Good choice too. Once the wall is up we can all go bray there and feel like total asses.

Braying will be permitted in Greek in the south, Turkish in the north. Cause I am sure that someone has already come up with theories of how the donkeys bray differently on each side of the ethnic divide, belonging as they do to two different nations etc.

It is also a donkey sanctuary. I hope we will not infringe upon their rights. Who will be in the minority? Us or the donkeys. :roll: Oh God, another headache coming up. :lol:

Yes, but knowing how long a donkey lives, some surely had a different language than they have now. Do you think they have become bambakoi? (that gr word to describe hidden christians?) No offence intended. :lol: :lol:

Deniz,

Now that you mention it, yes, I am sure some donkeys are linovamvakoi. In fact my grandfather had a donkey who must have been one. Hebought her from a Turkish Cypriot from Peristerona and she kicked all strangers except the priest. Sure sign that!

Also she understoon only Cypriot dialect, not high Greek, as one teacher found out very painfully one day. So we must take that into account too.

This reminds me of a short report on the BBC world service, could have been last year, of English dogs that bark with local accents. And they had a dog trainer who could identify dogs by their barking, ie if they were from Yorkshire, the West Country etc. Maybe an ass expert would be able to tell by the braying if a donkey was from Paphos, or Karpasia?
