Miltiades, do you not have anything better to do but whinge about traffic wardens?

Yes I do , I'm waiting for you to overstep the mark and then I shall pounce !
ps. You are not a traffic warden are you , or married to one ?

You will not have to wait too long!

I am always all too willing to overstep the mark, and it will have to take someone a bit better than you to stop me.

Better in what Paphitis ?
At least I have knocked you out a few times or dont you remember your silly posts on war !!! And calling me a traitor !!!
I told you before and I tell you again . Cyprus needs a hell of a lot more Miltiadeses , just one Paphitis though is plentifull.

You do have an ego the size of Turkey itself.


Dare I say it, you could not even organise a root in a brothel.

And heaven forbid we have more of you and Bananiot. We already have too many of your kind in politics. No leadership, no inspiration just more of the same that gets us no where.

Miltiades, very soon I will commence a thread on your negative impact here on CF. You are in actual fact a Turkish Pawn played by other propogandists to achieve the objective of causing GR to leave. Let me just say this, GR was much more of a Cypriot than you. He was in fact an Australian born, and educated man who chose to repatriate himself back to Cyprus and dedicated much of his life in fighting for a just solution to Cyprus. He inspired, encouraged and his topics were always well researched and thought provoking. You fail on all these accounts and the best you can muster is a thread on "traffic wardens".

Miltiades, you have never knocked me out but only exposed your Cowardice, and Hypocricy.

Just like you then , a bloody foreigner stirring up the Cyprus issue with gun powder.
Go on then , expose my negative input . You are a mere boy and no match for a 62 old fox !! Ridicule your self , go on son , find a post of mine that exposes my negativeness to the Cyprus cause !!!
See you next millennium !!

ps. GR left on his own accord , couldn't stand the heat so he left , simple as that ! Are all Australian born Cypriots like you and him ?

So you are calling a Cypriot Refugee, a foreigner?

And please do not patronise me with making any referance to my age. I am in my mid thirties, have served as an officer in the RAAF both in Australia and overseas (including war zones). I can also say that I have probably seen a fair deal more of this world than what you have.

As for the Australian born Cypriots, many are very active fighting for Cyprus from a far. Much more active than most of the Cypriots in Cyprus, I am sad to say.

[miltiades]

What ever you say son . I beleive you are about the same age as my son , he is 35 .He also claims to have seen more of the world than I have . Was not aware that you are actually a refugee , I thought you were born in Australia .
A refugee is of course one who flees from home, confinement, captivity, or justice."
Do you come under the above category ??
ps.You haven't told me yet if you are a Traffic Warden or married to one !!

[roseandchan]

in short yes they are. i was once written a ticket by one working for babergh council in suffolk. they ticketed me for over staying in a car park. the ticket didin't have the correct car reg on it. argued the point but still had to pay.
another time in kings lynn went to closest machine and paid parking fee, when we came back we had a ticket. we asked the council why? we had put a short stay ticket on our car in a long stay car park. we used the closest machine! we were let of on this one.

I was not talking about myself. I was referring to GR who is a refugee. I think I made a mistake when I said that he was born in Australia. He was not born in Australia but had to flee his home at the age of 9 along with his family.

I am not a refugee. I am from Pafos as you well know. My wife however is a refugee and was grabbed from her cot by her mother in order to flee the advancing Turks. Her father was active with the CNG at the time and was captured by the Turkish Army and taken to Adana (Turkey) with some 800 or so other POWs on Turkish Naval Vessels.

Now, I do not know how you wish to define a refugee, nor do I care, but for me refugees are also the descendants of those that fled in 74.

[miltiades]

My apologies in making the remarks about GR , you said he was born in Australia and I went along with that , I'm also sorry to hear about your own wife's experience as a baby , my heart goes out to all those Cypriots that war made them run for their lives and also to the thousands who lost their lives .
It is precisely because I care deeply not only for my own grandchildren and family living in Cyprus but for all Cypriots that I abhor war so much and believe in the continuation of negotiations in order to find a just solution for our Cyprus.
You will recall my faith in the EU taking some action to force Turkeys hand , it is just beginning to materialize , our political war has been greatly strengthened by our becoming a part of Europe , this is the trump card in our possession not missiles to strike Turkey with.
May I enquire as what happened to your father in law ?

Miltiades, my father in law does not really enjoy talking about his experiences. He has however mentioned a few things which I am willing to share.

The day of his capture, he along with some others were encircled by the enemy and captured around Mia Milia. He was then (not sure if this was on the same day) taken to Kyrenia, and was transferred by Turkish Naval vessel back to a military base in Adana. They were wearing blindfolds and were continuously being beaten.

In Adana, they were put on an army truck, and he stated that whilst enroute to their concentration camp, which was a section of a criminal prison, they had to stand in the centre to avoid being stabbed by Turks who were surrounding the POW carrying trucks, and penetrating the trucks canvass with sharp objects. They arrived at the concentration camp, and during their stay, they were fed a couple of slices of bread and a few olives each day. They had to endure numerous beatings and interrogations.

A Turkish Shepherd around the prison, apparently alerted the British as to the presence of Cypriot POWs and the story was beamed all over the world by the BBC. This also alerted the Red Cross, which then registered each prisoner. This assured their survival under The Geneva Convention on POWs. If this did not happen, then the missing persons list would have consisted of an additional 800 persons. There were off course numerous captives who were executed prior to this, either in Cyprus or Turkey, and are still on the missing persons lists.

He was captured on 14 Aug 74 and released in 28 October 74.

He has made an Affidavit to the Cyprus Government.

The affidavit is dated 1/11/74.

Not just traffic wardens;

In my workplace I constantly read documents written by degree educated people who can't spell. These might be typographical errors but in some instances they repeat the same mis-spellings repeatedly.

I once handed over £1.20 in small change for a coffee and was called back by the person serving because she couldn't count. Her colleague hurriedly motioned me away to prevent embarrassment.

In the supermarket sometimes the staff at the checkout have to ask me what a fruit or vegetable item is, in England for some a courgette is exotic.

And finally, someone aked me when the birthday of the sister of the person she was caring for was, I had to remind her that they were twins.

Would you do a thread so that we can find out some details about these people who were captured by the Turks, some eventually finding freedom and some sadly not, many still missing. You have the bulk of it all ready as above.
