Gday Lizzie!
Dear God the rationale on this forum is at times frightening... some people ought to hang their heads in shame - its a student merely wanting to know whats going on in Cyprus ? On your behalf and as an impartial (pom) i will apologise and say that what has happened to you here is not the usual Cypriot hospitality that you will find over here...mostly the people are friendly and helpful.
Its that some of the people on here have an ongoing 'discussion' regarding the Cyprus problem and this does sometimes cloud their outlook .
BOF. (and yes it stands for what you think it means)
