Cypriots have always been Greek...

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

Both OED. Oracle insists that she was feigning. So be it.

Depends on what you think should be done with poison : you could just leave it alone or you could try to warn others of its presence. I try to do the former but every now and again I feel that I should do the latter.

Variation is not your strong point, is it? :roll:

I've already explained it to you! The clue is in the use of quotes for feigning "Turk", as opposed to "deigning" to use Turk, or another noun altogether!

She is a little bit like a blackadder with her fangs removed, so there is no danger of poisoning. Perhaps the admin people should add something to her posts to that effect.

Maybe she'd deign to edit her new tagline from 'A nuisance, dedicated to sanity ...' to "An insane dedicated to nuisance ..." then she wouldn't be feigning.

I used to be married to someone like her with origins from the west side of Cyprus - Limnidi. It must be a genetic thing. But my X as well as being afflicted with "I am always right". Even when she was wrong, she used to say, "Its your fault for letting be wrong"
God only knows what I suffered in the hands of this woman; I come on the Forum and find another bugging me in the virtual world as well. They say lightning never strikes twice, but it’s just not true.
