Almost half 2008 is over. So was it better than 2007 so far? Did you get more shipments with Syrian immigrants with that ferry this year?

Its what the future holds thats more important, sounds like sour grapes to me.

Well, then you should have said that the 2987 will be a "good year". 2008 is not future, it is the present. Sounds like you are eating your words.

wake up and smell the coffee, time is running out

But I find it impossible to believe that there are in Cyprus today politicians who are so naïve to believe there is even one chance in a million for the Greek Cypriots to secure a settlement that is significantly better than the settlement outlined in the Annan plan. On the contrary, the reality shows that the best we could hope for would be to secure some limited improvements on a few issues.

People don't get too excited ........ the only thing that will happen if we don't seriously think of our future is the status quo will remain, till the powers that be would be ready for a unified Cyprus under a federal system. Lets not loose the opportunity, it is the only time that two leaders from both communties have been in contact and a trust will be built if we all support it. Just think of our future regardless of whether your a Turk or so called Greek.

gee, thanks guys

Cyprus settles dispute with EU over aid to Turkish Cypriots

Cyprus has decided to withdraw its appeal for the annulment of eight tenders within the framework of an European Union (EU) financial aid package for the Turkish Cypriot community, the government spokesman announced on Tuesday.

The Cypriot government had filed cases with the Court of First Instance at the European Court of Justice over the involvement of Turkish Cypriot 'state' organs in tenders for projects under the 259 million financial aid package.

The dispute, which would halt all EU-financed projects contracted so far for Turkish Cypriot community should Nicosia win the appeal, was settled after the European Commission agreed to revise some wording that Cypriot government fears would "constitute recognition of a separate state entity on the island," said government spokesman Stephanos Stephanou.

As a result, the Cypriot government made the decision to withdraw the appeal "to facilitate the allocation of financial aid to the Turkish Cypriot community," he said.

The projects financed by the EU includes a waste management project, a feasibility study for the rehabilitation of a copper mine, financial support for the Committee for Missing Persons, traffic safety management and demining in the buffer zone.

Cyprus has been divided since 1974 when Turkey militarily intervened and occupied the north of the island following a coup by a group of Greek officers.

In 1983, the Turkish Cypriot authorities declared breakaway and set up "the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus," which is recognized only by Turkey.

The Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities have just agreed to revive the long-stalled peace talks earlier this year in a new effort to reunify the island.

what were the words

Smile an everlasting smile,
A smile could bring you near to me
Don't ever let me find you gone
'Cause that would bring a tear to me

This world has lost it's glory,
Let's start a brand new story now, my love
Right now there'll be no other time
And I can show you how, my love

Talk in everlasting words
And dedicate them all to me
And I will give you all my life
I'm here if you should call to me

You think that I don't even mean
A single word I say
It's only words, and words are all I have
To take your heart away

Dildo! My old toss pot!

Where have you been? Or rather where haven't you ever been?

How are your Somali hobbit friends?

Now what's this about Irish Catholics and Turkish Cypriots? I thought we had sorted this out before.

Irish Catholics come from Ireland, Turkish Cypriots from the TRNC and Dildo Baggins comes from Lower Hutt, Hobbiton, New Zealand.

See, all nice and simple. Now go and have a nice lie down or get your coins out of that big sweetie jar on top of the fridge and play shove halfpenny or something.
