How many in Cyprus live in East London or are cockneys


I find that rather humorous considering that the majority of Cypriots appear to be more than well acquainted with London.

The acceptance of slang, ryhming or otherwise is widespread throughout modern media and can often be deployed as a disarming tool linguistically in order to soften the impact of an otherwise cold or abrupt statement.

Only those who have spent their lives living under (or on) a rock would not have been able to instantly recognise the meaning of "brown bread" when used at the end of my original sentence. Especially considering the title of the thread.

Phoenix, thank you for the notification but we were informed today about wednesday's closure which, I think, is to do with some other religious dogma.

Deniz ... perhaps if you wear your Moslemness on your sleeve, you are better off staying away from threads mentioning Archbishops .....

I am an atheist ..... but the Archbishop was a man who lived by his beliefs and moved through life trying to recreate good.

So with that in mind, we should pay our respects to a Human Being that has passed through this life, leaving it better than he found it for his presence.....

I am sure he went to his grave a sadder man for not having seen justice to the myriad GCs who were ousted from their homes by the perpetual enemy of freedom, love and justice.... the bloody Turk. :(

Thank you Phoenix. To me its not important whether he be a bishop, monk, Haham, Mufti or whatever. He was a living soul who deserves some respect on his passing. I enjoy my bacon sandwiches and the pork sheftalia your friend GR fed me. So you can see how much of a moslem I am. I am able to respect others more than you are capable of sometimes.

I bet he did not dance with joy at seeing his own killing and raping and disrespecting the constitution of his republic.....

Well My wife is glued to the tv with tears in her eyes and I had to get my own coffee and toast this morning :roll: .

I suppose I won't get any sense out of her all day.

We don't agree on religious beliefs so it's always a struggle at times like this.

I must say though she does enjoy a good funeral ~ and this one is as good as it gets.

Bill ~~~~ looks like it's going to be a KFC for dinner today :(
