HIGHLANDER, I have looked up your past posts and I reckon you are a load of old bollocks !.

You came to Cyprus thinking you were going to take over the island with your wild business ideas, you met your match, burned your fingers, tucked up your kilt and headed for the hills of 'HAME'.

"Och away and puss up your kilt Jock !"

.

What a friendly and supportive environment this forum provides.

I like to get to the TRUTH in all situations Talisker, I am not a man that wastes time 'Pussy Footing' around in order to gain the acceptance of the unworthy.

THE HIGHLANDER invariably presented himself as an overbearing and ignorant bounder with respect for neither man nor beast, he is no ambassador for your country and (in my opinion) is deserving of the welcome message he received from yours truly.

The 'Wee Mon' gives me the skitters !!.

Hello GB! .... anybody out there?

Has the Credit Crunch cramped their confidence?

The answer is quite simple, us Brits find most members of this forum to be unfriendly and uncouth with little better to do than spout off verbal garbage to new British forum members. Other than that the weather forecast on here is pretty good.

Regards Lucky Jim.

Oh and I foolishly thought you took time off to read the eponymous novel by Kingsley Amis, after I improved your education

Oracle you have indeed educated me hence my post.

Regards Lucky Jim.

And I am so pleased you joined us (just a little while ago ) merely to enlighten us with your view about our forum.

I hope it was worthwhile for you ....

Still here and making an ethical fortune!
Credit Crunch, is that some kind of new chocolate bar from Cadburys?

That sounds interesting

What kind of "ethical"?

As in conflict resolution and the negotiation of the previously non-negotiable.

Cool!

How many conflicts have you resolved? ... Were they petty or major? What are your secrets for negotiating previously non-negotiable settlements?

And why the hell are we still in this mess?

Ethics, huh? I guess you aren't dealing with the Turks (if I may be allowed to use that term? )

Mayhem ....

Cool!
Most places I go are far from it.

How Many?
I dont, thats up to the parties involved one way or another. I facilitate, suggest alternatives and occasionally threaten.

Petty or Major?
Conflict is always major to its victims.

Secrets?
None, truth is a powerful enough weapon. After that its carrots and sticks. Never say never.

Mess?
If you mean Cyprus for personal reasons I have no involvement. Privately I have a multi dimensional view that changes with my mood which would alternately be welcome/unwelcome in this place and others.

Ethics?
Everyone has them, unfortunately they do not always converge with those of the other.

Mayhem?
Historically the normal state of humanity is war, only when one or both of the opposing sides see benefit to themselves is a temporary truce established.

Why me?
Because I'm very good at what I do. The pays good if somewhat irregular and conditions can range from 5*+ to the back of a truck.

How?
By repeat invitation based on previous success and my expertise in a former employment as a negotiator working with industry leaders, government representitives etc. And an earlier involvement with Trade Unionism and Politics.

Background?
Anglo French married to a Cypriot, skilled working class to lower middle class. Degree in Aeronautical Engineering and an MBA. Financially secure and fed up enough to jump ship and make a late career change when the opportunity arose.

Driving Force?
Shocked as a child to be told by my Father that the people who died in Hiroshima and Nagasaki were no different to us. A love of more than one country. 'The Rights of Man' by Thomas Payne (a distant relative) and a desire to see at least some semblence of order and justice prevail.

WOW! You sure have the communication skills. That's really informative .... maybe I could do a crash course

I guess if you're Anglo-French, then your parents must be natural conflict resolvers to have got together, so it must be in your genes

So you don't rate my chances as an undercover man then eh?, and there's me thinking nobody would notice.

Ah well, perhaps I should have called myself rogerGcM, I might have got away with that one.

Well you are not very reliable, nor dependable! You come and go as you please. Where's the loyalty, through thick and thin? For better for worse, through good times and bad, sickness, health ( I have a cough ) ... till death do us ..... Cough! Cough!

I had some personal matters to attend to!


To make amends I am sending you some elixir for your cough - will lemon flavour suffice? (chicken soup to follow! )

Hope your personal matters went well ...

Thanks for offering to nurse me, but it is turning into pneumonia and I can't stop what I have to do until it's done Have just had a quick break for butternut and sweet potato soup (carbohydrate freak ).

Cheers! Cough Wheeezzzz Cough cough

............hopefully all sorted - for now!

Beggar the work. Watch those lungs - stop feeding your face and go to bed and fill the room with steam to loosen the bronchi (or whatever they are called!) just as they do in the movies!

Nurse Bubbles!!! CF could do with a bit of nursing to make it better.

Sod the CF. I could have done with her on Monday morning to nurse my raging headache.

Sorry, but it WAS all your OWN doing!

Self inflicted or bug??

I have no sympathy with self infliction as I never drink myself.

after 12 bottles

Almost missed that small pint

2 bottles is quite enough thank you!

Niki! I will be counting your 'bottles' next time we luncheon!

Well said Lucky Jim...........I can remember not so long ago when this forum was one of the best informative forums available to Brits thinking of making the move to Cyprus !!!! But now its content is more likely to put them off never mind they are probably doing us a favour in the long run...............the transition from the horse & cart to the Mercedes and BMW seems to have evolved too early !!!!

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.

How's sunny Dundee, Highlander? I know it (too) well.
Cheers,
Talisker

Do you know Oracle? Did either of you ever run into her? I am sure she has mentioned something about Dundee somewhere on here!


or was it cake?
