Tim ... please don't bother, because I can post pictures of Frenchmen drinking wine and eating cheese and post the same for an Englishman and you would not necessarily tell them apart ..... nothing more than superficial crassness confirming my initial accusation.

French or British?

I don't know.

[DT.]

Well, I happen to know which of these photographs are of GCs and which are of TCs, but just from looking I would be unable to tell the difference.

No prizes, but anybody care to hazard a guess (I will tell you later).

Please, put this misguided colonial master - strange 'colonial master' who obtains a residence permit from the RoC Immigration Department and pays income tax and VAT to the RoC tax authorities - out of his misery. Please tell me how to distinguish between the natives, because I do not know!

Sorry Tim, unless you believe Alexander the Great is somehow a direct descendent you will never be accepted by a certain section of the natives. And they also believe, with views like this, that they are 'European', nay sir, 'Hellenic'!

What exactly is your argument here? Can you tell me with supporting evidence what exactly you claim you are? Are you ethnically a Cypriot? Are you a Greek Cypriot? In fact don't even bother with supporting evidence, I'll accept whatever it is you're trying to prove here just quit posting Kypriakes paroimies and tell us something with a little substance.

French or British?

Ethnically or by Nationality?

[Oracle]

Of course even the British Nationals identify themselves as English Scottish or Welsh or Irish ... yet we as Cypriot Nationals are not allowed to identify with being of Greek affiliation ...

My parents are from Cyprus.

Are you a Greek Cypriot?

I was christened in an orthodox church. I cried apparently. I had no say in the matter. (I'd have cried more if I'd been circumcised no doubt).

Hey, I'm nation building... or you could even say re-building.

Ok forget it...

At least I've figured out what importance to place on your forum contributions from now on.

They speak either English/French. They're Christian (Roman Catholic/Anglican). They love either cheddar/brie. They support either England/France in the world cup.

I am removing my comment.

If you removed yourself, you would make a lot of people happy.

Don't worry about it. I just have a classification system in my head on who to take seriously on this forum and who not to.
