Hello Mehmet, how are you?


Welcome back Mehmet , lets have a few more posts mate !!

Hi Bananiot and Miltiades,

I am well and reading this forum as avidly as ever. Unfortunately the standard of debate disheartens me and I don't have the time to stay up all night exchanging one line responses to others.

But the election of Christofias interests me and I have more reason to be positve than for the previous number of years since Papadop has been in power.

We are all keeping our fingers crossed Mehmet. Things can happen this year.

I don't think you understand how seriously I for one take this.......It is not about scoring points as far as I am concerned although a bit of banter does end up that way.....

..... So you don't actually work? I thought you were some mad scientist woman.

..... the correct terminology is just "Scientist" ...

That's what I qualified as, worked at for a dozen years then took a sabbatical to be a mum ... can't do both obsessively ... and can't do anything without getting obsessive ...

Meanwhile I did a little property developing which did not interfere with being a mum too much ...

But I am bored with that, as it can tick along .... looking for a new intellectual challenge ... have some Research proposals in preparation but don't fancy moving to a City

What to do .....

Sevgul Uludag is one of the best journalists Cyprus has, she and Sener Levent have preached what they wrote and have been persecuted for their beliefs.

I read both of them whenever I can, in translation in GC newspapers.

Sevgul Uludag also writes fiction, although I never came across any. She has written an account of how the two main communities of Cyprus have gone at each other and the results. The details are recognisable by any Cypriot who has had even passing contact with the fanatics of either side.

She wrote about the Afania massacre of GCs and in one detail, the age of the killers, she echoes the events of another place, Maratha and Sandalaris where the killers, GCs this time, were also very young. This detail, and the importance of many things is in the details, should ring alarms in everyone here. The killers had been of the first generation of Cypriots to have grown up apart. They did not have a chance to have any experience of the "other" therefore no cause to hate. Separation is not a solution to this particular problem, obviously.

Nikitas , I feel so humble that until Halil gave me this book I had never heard of this T/C lady .Halil also gave me three bottles of red wine , I drunk the wine and thoroughly enjoyed each bottle but the thrill of reading this book far exists the the pleasure I received by drinking the wine.
You know something , Halil told me about the wine but never mentioned the book , he simply put in the bag with the wine , not a word said ..

Hope you did not drink them all at once!

When in Cyprus my wine consumption increases , for the simple reason that in the UK I never drink and drive and neither do I drink during the day apart from Sunday lunch. In Cyprus however since I'm not working I tend to drink more at lunch and even more at dinner time. The 3 bottles given to me by Halil were consumed over a period of 2 days !!

O.K. O.K. I will believe you this time......................

Its nap time for me, gotta wake up early . good night madam hiroshima.

I can't imagine what you would puke out without restrainment!!!!!!

Sweet dreams "little boy" ... do not worry about my nuclear arsenal ...

You mean your nuclear arse n all?

Still stuck on thoughts of my behind, huh shah

..... it looks less "nuclear" now

No more Loukoumia for a while methinks! ( ........ starting Monday! )

What?! I never had thoughts about your behind, i just saw a wonderfully low opportunity for a cheap shot and i had to take it

Anyways I thought you liked cheap shots

Surely you know when I am teasing by now ..... As for shots, the cheaper the better ....

I hope your sensitivity is not indicative of bad news ... have you been called up for a third interview?

I heard that Stella (Oracle) was about as cheap as it gets......Two drinks and she is anybodies........There will come a time when her offer of two drinks will not be enough though.....

Very funny [size=18]Bernard Matthews[/size]' joke Zan

..... Have you been away two weeks researching on your stupendous comeback?

Got it!
