One for Boomerang,

These days in Greece there is a big hullabaloo about the pensions mess. Pensionable ages are getting upped yet again, from 58 a few years ago it will go to 68, crisis looms for some pension funds in 2017 etc etc.

While this is going on, the biggest radio station had a report from Cyprus to coincide with the visit of Pap to Athens. It reported how in Cyprus the annual per capita income is at 89 per cent of the EU average, all EU regulations are applied smoothly, how public hospitals in Cyprus exceed the standards of even the best Athens private clinics, the welfare benefits to all workers including immigrants, etc etc. One listener called in and naively asked "if they are doing things so well why dont we get Cypriots to run our minsitries?". I loved it.

Pap while here visited the village of Artemis which was burnt in the fires of the summer. The RoC is rebuilding the whole village and the work is already under way. It is the first village to be rebuilt. All architects and engineers involved are Cypriots.

"The quicker we get rid of these guarantor power crap, and stand on our 2 feet the quicker we might actually get somewhere...Insisting we are tied to Greece and tcs tied to Turkey we will never get any respect or heard by anyone...We have no sovereignity...we are not a sovereign nation...but bitches to the motherlands... "

Well said Boomerang!!!

All works on philosophy, psychology, history, generally everywhere you look the definition of maturity is independence from parents and standing on your own feet and fending for yourself. GCs are on their way, we now wait to see what the TCs will achieve towards that end.

Zan- the Greek press is busy criticising (sometimes in a vile way) Pap. I have not read a positive comment about him in months. Relations with the government are a "little strained" and last time the two foreign ministers met (Lillikas and Mrs Bakoyannis) they had a blazing row. The problem is not simply the old Cyprob, its roots are in the EU, because the EU with Cyprus now as a member can see a new group of Greeks who are organised, capable, efficient and who can apply EU programs with not fuss. It makes Greece look bad and that pisses them off something fierce.

Shit happens and sometimes it is choreographed I bet you also believed that Talat and the General had a tiff on stage for real

Hi AlexiSS, I was just wandering what the general feeling in Greece was/is towards Cyprus?

Can't be as bad as mine towards them...

Tpap has good relations though doesn't he???

I'm pretty sure that deep down his teeth are grinding...

Tell him to put a cover over the glass next to his bed and that will stop some of the noise!!!!!
