I was speaking to an old English chap who was quite interested in the fact that I am in Cyprus as he was here some Seventy years ago as a young man.

In the course of the telephone conversation, I did mention the fact that there is a certain amount of disharmony here due to the invasion of 1974.

When I informed him that there about 40,000 Turkish troops occupying the North of the island, he uttered a throaty growl and came up with the answer to the problem.

"Tell'em to sling yer bleeden 'ook mate, g'won sling yer bleeden 'ook".

I wonder if that might work, what do members think ?.

Cant be that interested in Cyprus if he did not know that there were 40000 Turkish troops to keep the peace here.

"sling yer bleedin ook mate" What the GC public should be saying to Papad.

MR-from-NG, remember we are referring to an old chap of about 90 years of age, I think he is great.

I don't like old people, I LOVE 'em.

"Sling yer bleeden 'ook mate".

Sorryy, should have paid more attention to his age. Of course he can be forgiven under the circumstances, bless him.

Aaaahhhh ...... those senior moments, can't beat them

Well we have been asking them politely to leave, for some decades now.

IMHO Diplomacy is overrated ........ I am with your old chappie, tell em to sling their 'ooks and go back to Turkey.

In fact we could write it on a mountainside ......

Those old folks flats are the ones I like working in best......I have worked in some hovels and a little old lady of 92 brought a tear to my eye when she apologised for not climbing up a ladder and dusting the top of her fuse board. "Sling yer bleeding ook" I said to her and cleaned the top of it for her, she then tried to give me a tip of five pounds...Five bloody pounds.....I am lucky to get a cup of tea in some places and refuse often because I don't want to catch something, and this lady tries to give me half her bloody pension.
