...then can we concur that this thread is a "LOAD OF BOLLOCKS" as the subject matter has absolutely no point whatsoever.

Re boutto-Paphitoui... the Cypriot is too much of a gentleman but I’m not.

Why don’t you tell everyone where you were born because it’s not Paphos, and once they find out they’ll know exactly what’s bollocks…

[miltiades]

Guba (kouba) deep-fried cracked wheat parcel of mincemeat, not known in either Greece or Turkey, the entymology of which is uncertain but thought to be Levantine in origin.

You can find Guba in Brazil under same name. Now Meltiadis may say that we are coming from Brzilians!!

The correct name is KOUPA and not GOUBA otherwise know as AGGOUROSPORO TOU PINGOU !!

LONG LIVE THE CYPRIOT ETHNOS !!

Firstly my dear of no nation (you are the only person in the World having no Ethnicity) i copied the name of the first post for this subject just to sent my post.

Secondly my dear of no moving mind (you are the only person in Britain whos mind stop in 1960) the Cypriots in UK are very closed connected with the Greek community there -exempt of course of some Kallous like you

Hey Plonker , my nation is Cyprus how dare you question the validity of a nation recognised the world over , are you a mainland Turk who refuses to recognise Cyprus.
PS What on earth is "Kallous" some kalamaristiki colloquialism no doubt a bit like the way way Athenians welcome each other by " ai gamisou re pousti !!

[denizaksulu]

Or a cheesy Greek-adopted philosopher whose arguments were full of holes?

By the name of Gaskavalli …

Sorry; Caccio-Cavalli is Italian. Perhaps the Venetians brought it to Cyprus. But the Cypriot Kashkaval is the best.

And what evidence can you present to us that there are some Cypriots on this forum who do not embrace their unique Cypriot characteristics?

Jesus Paphiti! When you were off sulking, I was fighting Medusa half the night when I tried to claim Zeno and Aphroditi for the island.

Don't jump to conclusions because you don't know my time zone.

And another thing Chip(did I get the Cypriot pronunciation correct? ), I will be away for a while sweating it out in a simulator in Sydney for 7 hours tomorrow, so you won't here from me for a couple of days. I would not want you to think that I was sulking because I can have you for breakfast.

As for trying to claim that Zeno and Aprodite are Cypriot, can you provide any evidence of ANYONE saying they were not?

That is the point you are trying to make is it not? Well, we're waiting.

[Paphitis]

If you don't have any evidence then can we concur that this thread is a "LOAD OF BOLLOCKS" as the subject matter has absolutely no point whatsoever.

Shall I rewrite this?

"If I can't agree with you then what you say is rubbish."

Sorry, I thought this was a Forum – for the exchange of views. Zeno would have had a field day with you!

I am tryinhg to make your life easy by addressing the points you are trying to prove, but so far the only thing you have given us is HALLOUMI CHEESE.......

Very philosophical that is GatTourri.

Why don't you tell everyone where you lived for most of your life because some Neo Cypriots might be disappointed that you are just a CHARLOUI dear M.....

Kibbeh/kouppes/goubbes, the name derives from Arabic, meaning amongst others 'dome'.

[The Cypriot]

Don't jump to conclusions because you don't know my time zone.

Sorry, mate. You disappeared after saying we were through! I took that to be sulking. Glad you're back.

And another thing Chip(did I get the Cypriot pronunciation correct? ), .

You've totally lost me....

I will be away for a while sweating it out in a simulator in Sydney for 7 hours tomorrow, so you won't here from me for a couple of days. I would not want you to think that I was sulking because I can have you for breakfast.

Now, this is definitely the Aussie in you talking... Can't we have an exchange without resorting to hollow bragging about your aggressive prowess? A lot of Aussies were convicts shipped over from the UK. What's your excuse?

As for trying to claim that Zeno and Aprodite are Cypriot, can you provide any evidence of ANYONE saying they were not?

And what evidence can you present to us that there are some Cypriots on this forum who do not embrace their unique Cypriot characteristics?


That is the point you are trying to make is it not? Well, we're waiting.

Typing things larger isn't going to make your argument stronger. Or is this the Aussie way of having breakfast?

PARAPHRASING MY ORIGINAL POST:
As a Cypriot, I see no reason to play down these (uniquely Cypriot) elements, nor to subsume them into a wider Hellenic/Turkic culture, in order to convince myself, or the world (who frankly doesn't care) who I am.

This is what has happened on this thread. What more evidence do you need? However, if you're now saying to me (as the forum's self-appointed spokesperson) that you believe Cypriots on this Forum do fully embrace their island's unique culture, then that's great. (Though I think you'd agree there are some, of the Muslim-extracted variety, that don't appear able to do this - at least not openly).

The way I see it Chip, is that we are not having an argument, because in order to be having an argument or a debate you need to be addressing your agenda or the point/s you are trying to prove over the internet.

So far, this thread has been a total waste of time and the only constructive shread of evidence that you have put forward is Halloumi Cheese...

I came to try and work out what you are trying to say:

Stop beating around the bush and give us your take home message.

And you replied:

Some restaurants in London describe this as a Greek cheese. I think this is evidence of Cypriots not entirely happy to embrace the various and enriching elements of Cypriot heritage. Would you agree?

I then insist on asking you the following:

And what evidence can you present to us that there are some Cypriots on this forum who do not embrace their unique Cypriot characteristics?

And your reply was:

Jesus Paphiti! When you were off sulking, I was fighting Medusa half the night when I tried to claim Zeno and Aphroditi for the island.

And this:

Sorry, I thought this was a Forum – for the exchange of views. Zeno would have had a field day with you!

And on top of it all, mou kamneis kai ton filosopho!

So what is so philosophical about this stupid thread that talks about Halloumi?

C'mon Chip, I am waiting!
