Unfortunately the TC regime stripped them away from that right. May enclaved GC's depsite leaving in their villages were stripped of their land only to be given to settlers. Of course you will get no response from our TC friends on this forum. Or if you get a resposne it will be a rude one.

I too was very fortunate last Octovber to visit Apostolos Andreas where I was baptised and I too was saddened by the state f the monastery, I wonder hw our TC friends would feel if we let Teke in Larnaca fall to disrepair as they let Apostolos Andreas do so.

Anyway I look forward to hearing about Despina.



Humanist, please do not tarnish all TCs with the same brush. I am all for protecting the Cypriot culture whayever it is. The younger generation too. It was only recently that the Monastery was redecorated under the auspices of a UN affiliated organisation. Perhaps the same Organisation who repaired the Tekke. There are people in the North who have some modicum of Humanity you know.

Ohhh... I am suprised to hear that renovations (or redecoration) have been undertaken given the state the monastery was in when I saw it in May 08, though I did hear talks (actually whispers over here in oz) that restorations to the monastery could happen in the near future.

You think you can say anything safe that your distorting posts were deleted... :lol:

But mine and kangaroo's were not .. The quotes are still there (Page 1) .. and prove what a distorting liar you are .... and stop calling Kangaroo a stupid foreigner :roll: ... or you'll be deleted again.


Nice try Oracle but I'm sure kangaroo is bright enough to see though your bile ~ it seems that you have marked me as this weeks person to hate ~ especially with your constant remarks about a certain area of Cyprus .

I feel quite honoured to be on the receiving end of your valuable time and attention and having joined the ranks of many others who have enjoyed a similar experience ~ I wonder who will it be next week :?

For a supposedly highly intelligent woman I'm constantly surprised how dim you really are ~ I've given you a very valuable bit of advice in past posts.

That is never presume and assume which as I pointed out at the time should be standard practice for a scientist :? such as your self ~ that is of course if it's true

As for the post deletions well we are both aware that we were both to blame for that as you were constantly repeating your usual bile which was not really fitting for the post in question and sad person I am I was responding ~ I really should have ignored you as it wasn't giving that post the justice it deserved.

The moderator was quite correct it removing the offending posts but failed to spot the one within kangaroos post which in my opinion should have been removed too

Anyway much to your apparent disgust as it was me providing the response it seems Kangaroo has most of the info she needed so at least she is happy ~ and if she needs any more info all she has to do is ask and I would be more than willing to oblige ~ as always .

You are a clever lady at twisting posts made on this forum but I would imagine that kangaroo is in no doubt that I was referring to my self as a stupid foreigner after your repeated comments on my stupidity and of course the fact that I'm a foreigner in Cyprus.

As I said nice try ~ but try a little harder next time ~ I must say that I can give you 6 out of ten for effort though ~ not a very high score but a fitting one I believe

Your friend Bill ~ the maggot of the week :lol: :lol:

PS ~ sadly I can see this post being locked by morning ~



This Forum needs a Government health warning! I nearly died laughing at this Bill, you naughty boy! :lol: :lol:

O, please do not post - 'You wish I had or words to that effect'!!

Off to walk the dog - enjoy your day folks. :)
