What are we missing?


Correction.............missed. Ask again next September :wink:



Obviously no one here has heard Miltiades sing. Lets have Miltiades on 'X' Factor next year. He will put all those brats to shame.

My coice was Laura, if anyone was interested. :lol:


I surmised this morning, that Lee was referring to "Alexandra from X Factor" because my ears picked up as I heard her rendition on the radio, of my favourite song by Leonard Cohen (Hallelujah) ... and she had ruined it :(

She had better not put it on general release .....


It probably will be the Christmas number one..

No, but when I saw the set, I expected Elvis and the Jailhouse rock.

That's right Bill , most of us old timers left Cyprus on ship , firstly on a boat from Limassol that took us onto the ship anchored about half a mile away from port , with relatives gathered at the port side waving white handkerchiefs. My ship was called Phocea and sailed right through to Marseilles , unlike most other sea journeys that called in Piraeus and Brindisi . From there on was a journey by train to Paris and then on to another train that took us to Calais from where we got the ferry boat to Dover and the train from there to Victoria .The journey took a week ! Let me just , for the benefit of GR !!!! recount my first experience at Victoria station as a 15 year old green Cypriot boy . On second thoughts I thnk I may PM GR so that he can take his time and read it over and over again !!!



I Thank the almight that you are back. Its horrible being the only mature (not geriatric) person aboard. I was getting fed up of being called the only 'old man' of the forum.

Sure we would all want to acknowledge the Old Man D's work as an intermediary in getting the other old man back. A glass or two of red anyone? :D
