Well, with this kind of track record not being able to handle 20 persons arriving once a week, then it's about time to put a stop to wanting to having Direct Flights.


You mean its about time to put a stop to wanting to run a "state" altogether!


That was already the case 24 years ago GR.!!!

You think not being able to manage 20 passengers in a little boat is bad?

Consider this...

The last time they had a total blackout they ordered a new generator (I think from Germany) and when it arrived at the dock they realized they didn’t have a crane powerful enough to hoist it out of the cargo ship! :roll:

So how did they solve the problem? Well, you’d think they’d try to arrange the ship to drop it off at Larnaca or something so that the RoC could hoist it out and transport it for them but no… they sent it right back and ordered a smaller one! :lol:

Living here and seeking out local news helps... :) You could fill up a book with such "TRNC" comedy acts!

Do you know how many Turkish Cypriots they find hanging off power poles/lines charcoaled who tried to tap into "free" power? :roll:

That just reminded of my childhood GR.

Living in Kucuk Kaymakli, around 7 years old, I stood on the window sill to try and push a wire over the window shutters. How the hell did I know, it was electricity wire. Let me tell you, the electricity would not let me go. I just could not release my hands from the power line, and the only way I was able to because I just slipped off the window sill and landed on my butt. It was on the ground floor. I never till today ever told my mother, as to what happened that day.

Honest GR, I was not trying to steal anyones electricity. :lol:

What a sad, touching, and amazing story!

I am very honored that you shared with us something your mother doesn't know but should! :lol:

I'm sure glad you survived it... :)

VP, what the hell are you talking about. You wanted safeguards in voting and Kifeas gave you one, so that you have a say so in your communities future and decision making. Where exactly does Kifeas's Plan effect the TC's in a negative way.

This is the formula crated by Kifeas, also known as "Kifeas's Plan" for POWER sharing in a Parliamentary system.

Quote:
If we have a house of 100 members (80 GCs plus 20 TCs) and decisions are taken on simple majority, it means that at least any 51 members out of the above 100 members will have to approve it. However, in order to qualify as simple majority, at least 4 (or 6) of the votes must come (included in the 51 votes needed) from the 20 TCs (20% or 30% of the TC members,) and at least 16 (or 24) of the votes must come from (included in the 51votes needed) from the 80 GCs.

For example we can have the following combination for simple majority to qualify.
I take a special case example that needs 30% minimum from each side.

Case 1:
6 TCs plus 45 GCs equals 51 /100. (Qualifies)

Case 2:
20 TCs plus 31 GCs equals 51 /100. (Qualifies)

Case 3:
5 TCs plus 46 GCs equals 51 /100 (it doesn’t qualify)

Case 4:
1 TC plus 80 GCs equals 81 /100 (it doesn’t qualify)


Read my quote again I agree with Kifeas on his proposals, what are you going on about?
