I'll certainly let you know how things go as it is a deeply sensitive turtle conservation area ... and I am involved now, a little sooner than I'd hoped as I have not finished with my other projects yet.

But your contact details helped guide me .... so thanks again. :)



Keep up the good work with the turtles.You will do more good there than the cause of Cyprus and Cypriots. :lol: :lol:


Swiftly executed .... business expansion under control, and turtles back in the (safe :D ) limelight.

All's well that ends well ....

On to the Turks next .... :lol:



'Carry On Laughing' , on your screens soon.

You should have the courage and the humility to accept such Grace with a reciprocal extension of the Humanity that it demonstrates, without presumptions, but with hope, in my opinion.

...yes, GG, it is not about "Greeks" or "Turks", this subject. It is about respect, not even as Cypriots, but as living creatures, and the power to choose.

Acts, not words.


Hey! Firstly I have not been on the forum much these past few days (I do have a life!) and just where is the venom? Good humour, yes, but venom never! Besides, if I really thought that Oracle's offer was genuine I would consider it with pleasure. :) Though in all honestly, I have my doubts! :(

The offer was made because you stated you had never been on a turtle watch ... I have easy access and wished to thank you for posting the telephone numbers.

Such absurdity has come to pass since, that Heracles would have given up on his labours .... :roll:

Doubt and worry no longer ... you do not have the necessary qualities to appreciate a turtle watch.


Bubbles, why don't you contact the Tutle project and arrange a viewing? It is well worth it, I have never seen them egg laying, but I have seen turtles hatching out over on Turtle Beach, the project is always looking for volunteers and donations of food (for the students that come here to study them - not the turtles) !!! Apart from hatchlings - the only other turtle I have seen "in the wild" was sadly a half grown adult, dead on the beach in the Karpas. It had apparantley been caught in a fishing net and drowned. It's shell was around 50cm long.


Thank you Tess, I intend to talk to a friend of mine who is very heavily involved with Turtle watch at this end of the island. Time is my biggest enemy as I never seem to have enough of it!

The only turtle I have seen here was a dying turtle - washed up on Lady's Mile beach - with obvious signs of being hit by a boat/jetski etc :(
