You're married to a Jock :shock: :shock: I thought you hated the British :?:

My best bits of Burns' night is the Haggis then straight into the Whiskey :P
Never have understood the recital :?


Where have I ever said I hate the British?

Your problem is you believe the hype above the reality.

The only ones I hate are the Turks ... and only because they directly tried to KILL me, and later divided my country and ethnically cleansed 40% of it from my compatriots :twisted:

The Brits were nasty ... but they have some redeeming points ....

Is that the worst you could come up with ... you really have been duped :lol:

Erm and what have a few British squaddies (of the 50s Cypriot Colonial era) got to do with all of today's Scotland, England Wales etc!

Highlander,

Good to see you back. I was actually thinking just the other day what happened to you and few others. Last time you posted a while back, you were opening a business in Cyprus, hence the fact you were not going to have too much time for the rest of us on the forum, and now you tell us that you have been back home in Scotland for the last 12 months.....so what happened Highlander.?

Also glad to see Niki back.


Hoots Man its Kikapu howz it going.............arrived 10th January 07 then left 31st Oct 07 had a brilliant time but got fed up of the dog eat dog eat cat too survival techniques of trying to scratch a living on the island...........thinking of coming back soon but probably just for a holiday and some unfinnished business.


Doing OK Highlander...........thanks for asking.

I believe you told us last year that your dog was poisoned/murdered in Cyprus, so I was wondering if that had anything to do with you going back home to Scotland. I believe you also told us that you had gotten married to your girlfriend too or have I mistaken you with someone else.!!

Take care Highlander and I hope you will make more postings on the forum soon.

Thanks Kikapu, I call in occasionally. :D

Take care.

With any luck the Brits have decided to spare us their incessant moaning and whinging and decided to go back to Britain where everything is apparently so much better than it is in Cyprus.
