I am standing here and cant understand whats going on. 3 dogs were poisoned recently in my area. The vet says he gets 4-5 cases per day. 2 in Pyrgos area 1 in the city of Limassol.

Gossip is that breeders do it bec its hunting season and they need to get rid of their puppies by poisoning hunting dogs. Municipality and police is doing exactly nothing.

Any idea how this could be stopped?

Ban all cats and dogs?

[Get Real!]

Ban the entire peasant region of Paphos and all its contents including the stupid Brits, cats, and dogs, who go and live there. I’ve had it up to my neck with Paphos... let’s take Kafenes out of that shit hole and burn the place down to the ground.

You don't have to come to Pafos if you don't like it, GR, it's a long way from Nicosia - and most people enjoy their life here. Just a bit unsophisticated for you 'City folk'.

Being a foreigner you haven’t got a clue what the rest of Cyprus thinks of Paphos, and the number of jokes that circulate about the locals. We couldn’t even understand what those weirdoes were talking about not too long ago as they had their own set of peasant words! Land in Paphos was literally WORTHLESS until the stupid Brits came along and started paying ridiculous prices for it.

I have been here long enough to understand how the City Slickers of Nicosia and Limassol view the Hick people of Paphos. Until the motorway and rapid growth of car ownership over the last 10 years, 'redneck' Pafos was rather cut off from the rest of the (Cyprus) world - but perhaps none the worse for that.

Until very recently - when the property boom meant that, suddenly, everyone here could afford a (used) BMW or Mercedes - there was a stark contrast in vehicular choice between Pafos and everywhere else. EVERYONE here drove doublecabs, I mean everone! When in Limassol, I saw people actually driving cars, it was such a surprise.

Now there is a clear class structure in Pafos: older Cypriots drive doublecabs and the occasional ancient Mercedes (ex-taxi), younger Cypriots drive Mitsu-Evos and sensible saloons while ALL ex-pats drive 4x4 for the 'lifestyle experience' (in the Orphanidies carpark) LOL.

Aaahh! It's the green-eyed monster again.

Land in Cyprus was never worthless. The peasants have always respected it for its true value

It is the Nicosians with their second homes in Paphos (those who can afford them ) that are now resentful.


My Paphos hero .....

I said land in Paphos was worthless not Cyprus! Why don’t you tell us what these words & expressions mean Oracle…

“Shagadouri”

“Tapparogolou”

“Embeigen”

“Exeigen”

“Ate haaa!”

"Ma hore haaa!"

“Gammistra”

“Archiomandri”

Land in Paphos is Land in Cyprus GR! or do you still see us as a separate Kingdom?

Educating the Lefkosiates to speak proper peasant Kybreika ...


“Shagadouri” ... The little doggies most Brits own in Peyia.

“Tapparogolou” ... Spanish Tappas bars serving the Ex-Pat Brits from Spain

“Embeigen” .... Crediting a cheque into ones bank account, for a vast amount of money after selling a shoebox-sized flat in Polis

“Exeigen” .... Taking the money out to buy a Lamborghini Countach with which to cruise the slums of Nicosia

“Ate ha!” .... What you shout to drooling Lefkosiates as they get in the way of your cool car!

"Ma hore ha!".... Look see, there is a Lefkosiati with a patata on his shoulder.

[Oracle]

Ate haa! Typical Lefkosiati I see you sneaked another two on whilst I was posting the reply

Endless demands, shifting goal posts. You rub shoulders with too many Turks ...

Ma hore haaaaa!
