Dont they make you feel just great.

Thanks Kiks. Its an honour to be classified with my friend Milti. We had a good chat yesterday over a sketo, about you. I bet you want to know about what? Keep on guessing.

Deniz,

What else could you two have talked about anyway.?

I'm happy that your time was well spent together while talking about me.

It's funny, because your name only came up very briefly when I visited our friend Miltiades during my brief stop in London last month.

Looks like I may have to make another brief stop in London to kick his butt back on to the forum soon.!

Perhaps you can lend me a "foot" Deniz.!

Left or right foot Kiks.

I'm sure you would like to use both of them on me right now, Deniz.!

Enlighten me. What have you done now?

Not sure where Istanbul is, but there is a place called Konstantinoupolis formerly known as Byzantium. Oh wait! Istanbul is a Greek word too! "Eis tin polin....pronounced eis tin bolin"!

I just love your Avatar Denizaksulu! Perhaps you should join a Mevlevihane somewhere in Konstantinoupolis (I guess you call it Istanbul?) or Ikonion (I guess you call it Konya?), where the Persian Jelal ad Din Rumi whom you claim as Turk (even though he was born in the Persian city of Balkh in present-day Afghanistan) lived the rest of his life.

You'd do well to get off your high horse. When necessary I have called it Byzantium, Constantinopolis, Eis ti poli. Istanbul. Even the last of the Ottoman coins called it Konstantiniyye. What is your gripe. I have made no such claims regarding Celalleddin Rumi. All I need to say is that his works are written in Persian, Arabic and Turkish; and the point you wish to make is?
