Serious question: is golf now an Olympic sport? Will it feature in the 2008 Games?

[Get Real!]

Anyone heard anything about the 27th International Sheep Counting competition to be held in the “TRNC”?

That should send everyone off to sleep

Apparently, the umpires, spectators, and participants dozed off in the last one and the only person still watching was Zan.

Drip, drip, drip....................

Yep. Damla damla gol olur...............


and from a tiny seed will grow a giant Oak tree.


Come on Pyro, are you not going to wish us a bit of luck?

Regards

Deniz all I can wish the Tc people is to be taken less for a ride. Don't you see what those who govern you do to you man? The are fooling you everyday. Fabricated news, totally false dimensions of events... I mean look at all those little steps that make your recognition dreams so colourful. Start from the passports presents, the ferry line to Syria that will simply stop without anyone noticing, and all that fanfare. Look at what the Tc Observer newspaper said, the "olymbic" golf tournament already happened and there was a Tc winner.... whats his name Mustafa kacaoglu

Hey hey, next we will have Rolandis trying to scare us for Olymbic games going on in the occupied
(have you seen his article started by tcklim?)

Ok Pyro. Look at it like 'Honorary titles' 'Honorary Citizens' 'Honorary Doctorates' etc. These ties will one day be more solid. Dont laugh at my metaphores as you will make me laugh and I am not in a laughing mood. Nothing to do with Forum Posts I might add.


I have seen the article but I am still trying to figure out what the Olymbic Games are? Is it a Beta or a Pie? Its all Greek to me.

[Pyrpolizer]

This is what happens when ignorant British try to borrow meanings for their poor language. β which spells veeda becomes beta!!! and π which spells like soft "p"ee becomes a pie!!! The real word is Ολυμπιακοι so a correct translation should have been Olympian.

Hey how is it in Turkish, please I am in the laughing mood today, tell me to burst.

Is Golf a sport . . . ?

Isn't it just a good walk spoilt?

(But I think Zan is more interested in WHERE it will be held therefore he anticipated a problem.)

Iran women win Cyprus golf silver
Mon, 01 Oct 2007 13:50:53

In a blaze of glory, Iran's national women golf players take home the silver medal of an international golf tournament in Cyprus.

During a three-day world golfing event held in Cornelia in Northern Cyprus, Iranian golfers ranked second as Turkey won the coveted gold medal.

In the individual events, Iran's Nazanin Shahraki ranked third among the top scorers of the opening day and her teammate Leila Sarbazi was named the best scorer on the second day of the competitions.

15 countries from across the globe have participated in Cyprus' 9th international golf competitions, which was organized by Cyprus National Olympic Committee. The Iranian golfers competed with Turkey, Scotland, Cyprus, Lebanon and the UK.

Something doesn't sound right in this story.

http://www.cyprus-forum.com/viewtopic.php?t=13584

SO . . . are you suggesting this is another "story" ?

I think the quote bit ought to be in the'Joke' section.

If you clik on the forum link provided you will realise it was originaly posted in the sports section and it should have been in the jokes section.
The Cyprus National Olympic Committee organised this event???

The Turkish Language is a different kettle of fish. It is purely phonetic. Each sound has a letter. No diphtongs. The alphabet once learned you can never go wrong. You will need a whole new 'topic' for this. If you have any specifics I will gladly help.

When as a kid I used to ask my mates why can I not write my name with a DELTA instead of NT I was amazed. Studying languages I enjoy a lot.

Have a good day

Deniz,

Now that you are on a linguistic mode I want to ask you something. Is there any site on the net where I can see a literal word for word translation of Turkish phrases?

I know that translation is not meant to be word for word, but I want to see the word order and the thought structure in Turkish. It all ties in with a PhD thesis a friend of mine worked on a long time ago positing that linguistic structures where at the root of most intercommunal and international conflicts. So I want to check it for myself.

Isn't "Nearest Neighbour" the root of most conflicts ?

Its like asking me my mobile phone number. I never felt it necessary to ring me so I dont bother to remember it.

I will check it out for you. I will get back to you. When I do I will link it with some 'Golf Tournaments', so we dont get any warnings.
