Thank goodness for that ... Deniz dear.

Goodnight .. don't forget to turn off all the lights and items on "standby" ....

Dont rush me Oracle. I said nearly

Thanks for the reminder though.

Sleep well.

I didn't say I was going to bed ...

Anyway, I'm not going till you go ... you'll only post something bad behind my back, and I'll be awake all night dying to switch the PC on again ...

So kindly go to bed ...

You are feeling sleeeepppyy .......

I only recent,y managed to get out of bed. There is plenty life left in me tonight. So you will have a very late breakfast. I will have fresh figs and honey please.

Well I didn't have my obligatory glass of wine to send me to sleep so I am as wide awake and hyper as a coiled spring ... but I have got other work to do ... so if you don't mind not destructing me too much ... go post somewhere neutral that I am not guarding .... (go to "Jokes" )

P.S. (Off) .... no fresh figs here yet .... Lovely apricots and melons though.

Yes. Run along as I see someone is shit stirring again. The question of Armenians used as a red herring vis a vis Turkey shooting. Let the dead rest in peace I would say, but that is not your way.

Iwill do some reading.

You are tired ... that was soy-beans' reference to Armenians ... not mine.

Maybe you TCs should keep an eye on this newbie anti-Armenian ....

I spoke to this lady a couple of years ago and if I remember well her name is Despina and she comes from a small village in Pafos ( cant remember the name of the vilage). She has been in the monastery since the 50's)

Thank you for that piece of information Morphou. I greatly appreciate it.
Finally getting clarity of her name - Despina.
I am suprised to hear that she has been there since the 50's. I didn't think women were allowed to stay at the monastery... given that Monks ran it originally. Can anyone clarify this?

[kangaroo]

I have been to the Apostolos Andreas several times (to light candles for my Father, Mother and Brothers) who are no longer among us 'Lucky Ones'.

I always leave money in the box and sign the book.

I do not begrudge leaving money there, I am not concerned about where it ends up for a simple reason.

The fact that Despina (as I like to call her) is still alive, is an indication that she must be eating, if she uses the money from the box to do so (and I am not suggesting that she DOES) she can have my blessing along with whatever blessings she is due from the Almighty, I am sure her devotion to her beliefs are genuine enough.

Who knows what tales that old lady could tell, God Bless her, she could be 'Mother' to many of the elder of those who post on this forum whether T or G/C.

The fact that some of us may not believe in the existance of God, does not give us license to ridicule or pass judgements on those that do, I can tell you with certainty that there are people on this earth who have NOTHING other than their beliefs, it would be a gross failure by those of us (non-believers) who consider ourselves to be humanitarian, to impose our wills (or beliefs) on those who have so little.

When those who believe preach to US, they are convinced that they are giving us something of value.

When WE scorn their beliefs, we are taking (or attempting to take) their most prized possession from them.

Think about it, particularly those of you that have your families around you intact.

Thank you Eliko... most beautifully stated.....

Indeed, Eliko should be nominated for the Cyprus Forum (Noble) PEACE AWARD. Really. I hope I will be backed up for this nomination We will call it the St. Andrews Award or any other suggstions.

Do the honours next time you visit "your" Land in the north Bill ... but keep your stupid opinions to yourself ... you lowly maggot.

That's a bit harsh Oracle ~ one post you are correcting dt on my behalf and now you are slagging me off .

Have we had one over the eight already ~ it's really to early to be in that condition .

There is absolutely nothing wrong with my opinions ~ perhaps it's the way you are interpreting the post.

I fail to see how my land in the north as anything to do with this subject but I guess that's how your twisted mind works .

Now go and drink some strong coffee read my post again and explain why my post was stupid ~ the maggot bit I don't mind ~ I've been called far worse and that's pretty tame in fact in the industry I was in it's almost a compliment.

I think it would be beneficial for you to ask someone in the know about that particular church / monastery.

Bill ~~~ the maggot

[color=red]Your flippant referrals to casual visits to the north ... You have been here long enough to know how insensitive that is. [/color]
Then you pass judgement on whether she is fit for "sainthood" .... that is so unbelievably uncalled for. You ungenerous heathen!

And it is not necessary to try and cover your stupidity by excusing me with drink ... You wish!

Oracle, it was not so long ago that Phoenix was planning a Tour de Chypre. Your above remarks puzzle me,

I was not planning to buy property there ... I wanted to see if my country was accessible for a simple right as cycling its coastline ... clearly not from all the Official advice I was given .. and that was even prior to what happened to DT.'s father in Law at the hands of the merciless Turks.

Strangely enough, the issue of suffering something that needed treatment was mentioned, and what could happen then. The worst case scenario was what happened to DT's FiL. In a compromised state .....

My remarks were made avoiding bluntness ... (but you brought this up) because Bill has admitted to having plots of land in the north, but won't say whether they are GC owned ... we won' t press .... he is entitled to remain silent.

He is quite flippant about living in the north, and now in his comments above.

Does that answer your nosy intrusion?

Remember this is General Chat and that is why I was being vague.

I don't wish to make Bill suffer with these reminders any longer ... so let's move on.

This lady is much more interesting ...

I posted this in another thread Oracle - keep digging

Having met Bill and his wife recently, and without giving away his personal details, I would say that it is most unlikely that he illegally owns land in the north.

Keep digging and you will fall into a hole.

Or perhaps you have decided to drop it at last.

We didn't ask for your opinion on the matter, nor to bring it up again ... Bill was free to tell us to mind our own business if he did not want to continue with the discussion he was involved in (also with another forumer). We didn't insist he tell us if they were GC-owned. His silence is fine. I was as vague as I could be.

It was Deniz (bull-in-a-china-shop ) that insisted on clarification ...

You don't need to butt in too! Let's move on!

BTW .. anyone convinced you that you are an elephant yet?

That was funny. Brilliant Kifeas

Bill's playing you for the fool that you are. As for my opinion, if you post on a public forum you have to expect others to join in just like some mouthy mare did when I related my speeding experience - hypocrite.

Bill has left the building!

I have no problem with discussing whatever is on the forum .. ad infinitum. Bill had forgotten he posted what I produced as evidence when he contradicted himself.

But I am not out to destroy anyone. So I discuss whilst I see willingness by the other party to continue the debate.

However unlike some, I'm sensitive enough to know when to back off .... unlike you!

I do not go in for the kill ... that is not what I am about!

So I produce evidence as I did with Bill .... I sensed he did not want to respond and left it at that ... But you had to pipe-in!

By speaking up for Bill you do him a disservice as I think he wishes the matter be laid to rest.

How many times do I have to repeat, I do not wish to make Bill or anyone else feel so uncomfortable that they have said too much that the whole experience is too negative.

So get off your high horse Jerry (the elephant )

(P.S. I'll discuss any issues with you Jerry if they concern us .. but not when they are about a third party that is not here to defend himself. I do not like meddling with third parties and you have wormed your way in to this to the detriment of Bill. ... When I discuss it is to the poster, about the poster as much as possible ... that is the difference between your shit-stirring for Bill, and normal debate).

I think I touched a nerve with the H word, nobody feels uncomfortable, why should Bill feel that he has to defend himself - especially to the likes of you. You are being played for the fool that you are, dumbo.

The only nerve you touched was the one controlling my knee that wants to kick some sense into you!

Your idiotic intervention has done us the service of witnessing how much you are smarting from your lack of credibility in all the debates in which you force your attention.

Go from tongue lashing to tongue lashing Jerry ... but don't drag Bill down with you!

BTW ... there are no words which frighten me!

If I thought you worthy of instructing me, I may take heed ... but on the contrary you display a sincere lack of interest on your own merits ... so go find another unwary forumer to do battle for ... and get more mileage elsewhere! .... Only don't go speeding :lol:
