Nothing will materialize, now Eroğlu is back time is up and it will be more a game of who leaves the table first.

VP, it will be a case of try and get an agreement before Eroglu becomes President.

You've made it very easy for us. Talks drag on till eroglu gains the pseudo presidency and you get fu**ed straight afterwards.

Repent, the end is nigh.

I agree about the timing, but the result we shall have to see.

[Kifeas]

Really, I should say that I cannot believe you are uttering these things Kifeas. To expect 200 000 angry people to storm the Bases because they have lost their properties for ever is utterly unrealistic and totally improbable. These things do not happen, even in fairy tales.

It is also amusing to think that British tourists can be replaced with Romanians and Chinese tourists. Last time Chinese "tourists" came, 80% of them failed to turn up for the return journey. I think the police are still looking for them. Lilikas, who brought them, making a big thing out of it, was looking for a place to hide at the time.

The Russians did save the day for us last year, but from what I hear, they are now tempted by Turkey too. The Germans and the Scandinavians make up only a small proportion of the incoming tourists.

The Brits have supported our tourist industry during dire times and we will suffer a great deal if we lose them.

As for offering bases to the Russians, one can only smile with disbelief at this suggestion. Our future lies exclusively with the club Klerides, Vassiliou and Simitis put us in in May 2004. You are seriously asking us to switch allegiance and embrace the Russians whom you probably think more capable of helping us in our encounter with Turkey. Of course, Turkey is more important to Russia than Cyprus and the sooner we realise how minute we are, the less rubbish we will talk.

Bananiot, you must indeed feel very lonely in Cyprus, for being one among the only few "good" and "sensible" boys here, and I must congratulate you for these "virtues." (Eise pragmatika ena poly prokomeno kai fronimo paidi.) Unfortunatelly the rest of us, the majority, do not understand manners and politeness; and since we are all peasants and vagabonds, do not know how to bow to those "superior"to us, when served with injustice and hypocrisy Instead we unfortunatelly only know how to react violently. In that sense, you are right about not believing that 200,000 angry people will storm the bases. I should more accurately have said that only 200,000 minus one (yourself) incensed people will storm the bases.

I remember when we burned some police stationsof the bases in Akrotiri some years ago. Bananiot was there along with Matsakis throwing molotov

You managed to pass Talat as a moderate and now you are about to throw away your achievement. We will wait until Talat is replaced by Eroglu and then we will blame you for having Nationalist Extremist Greek Heater leader So your side will be blamed and not Christofias because everybody knows how nice and moderate Christofias is. See, we are learning to play your games better

we get 150 Russian tourists, but they make up for 300,000 British in terms of national revenue, since their average spending is almost twice that of the British.

Kifeas,
Please tell us that you have no ambitions to be minister for the economy or education

I think Kifeas would make an excellent Minister of Economics ,
of course he meant 150 thousand Rusians.
The problem is however the Brits amount to more than 60% of our tourists something like 1.5 million !
It would near impossible to replace the Brits .

The UK will never recognise the "trnc". It has far too much to lose. All 1960 agreements will be nullified, and if that is not enough, there would indeed be so much civil unrest in Cyprus which would mean that in order for the UK to keep its military outposts it would need to defend them against innocent civilians. The world would be outraged and at the end of the day, the UK military would be over run and have lost control of the SBAs. A very unlikely scenario.

If it did happen, Cypriots would have no other choice but to swarm the SBAs, and if this happens there is very little the Brits can do about it. Bananiot would nevertheless still be preaching for us all to accept the "realities" of Britain's recognition and for us to accept our fate and not do anything about losing occupied Cyprus forever.

Tourism in Cyprus is not that important anymore. Even if all tourists stopped going to Cyprus it would not be the end of the world because it accounts for a very small portion of GDP. Cyprus should be pleased if all Brits stopped coming to Cyprus, because as a whole they are the most despicable, disgusting, vulgar, good for nothing cheap skates, scums of the earth, drunken louts that I have ever seen grace the gutters of Ayia Napa. Most of them are utter garbage.

That's the kind of Tourist Cyprus can do without.

In Australia, we would absolutely love to set up numerous concentration camps where we can detain, and torture British tourists, but alas Amnesty International would have a field day....

PS: I am not saying that ALL Brits are like what I have described above. A few of them are actually OK...

I don't think we have anything to worry about.

We have all the time in the world and don't need any time lines in case you haven't noticed.

We have better things to worry about such as building better bilateral relations with other nations and exploring new trade opportunities.
