Welcome to Cyprus Gasman. :roll:

This is the place where facts only meet insults. It only shows the calibre of the people we have running this show.

Hold on Deniz, you know I am not one to 'gang up' on other formers, but the post from Gasman below portrays only a completely negative view of Scotland and Scots (and Cypriots), and is obviously a result of bitterness of the failure of her marriage to a Scot, information which she herself volunteered. She clearly considers that marriage to a Scot makes her an 'expert' in all things Scottish, and I wished to point out to any readers of her post that she is likely to be biased in her portrayal, that she makes gross erroneous generalisatons presumably because of some lingering animosity, and that therefore she should perhaps seek help. What's wrong with that?

Gasman wrote:Yeah they should be. Speaking as someone who was once married to a dour Scot Git. They both whinge a lot and never shaddup about how the English dun em down, how much BETTER everything is in the homeland, fecking tomatoes, meat, butter (obsessed with food - so they match on that point - both love the 'heart attack' diet). Both overly 'religious'. (Scots Kaffliks beat the Irish ones hands down)

And all the while proving with their feet that the BEST thing to come out of their country was the ROAD to LONDON!

The lunatics on here often put me in mind of the Celtic/Rangers situation in Scotland. The Orange Marches and the neo Nazi GCs on their GREEK marches this week (Oracle bless her feeble brain thinks they are GREEKS supporting GCs! Most Greeks don't even bloody LIKE GCs!)

UNCHARITABLE to their 'neighbours' in the extreme!

Both think the fecking world OWES THEM A LIVING.

I agree 100% they should be twinned. Or at least the nationalistic, rabid factions in both countries should be twinned. Joined together, surgically fused together and transported to somewhere far away from Cyprus and Scotland.


The poor wolf-pack. Brings back the memories of Yfred. Insult, humilitate. mock when you (plural)receive a suitable response, you all play the victim. Shame on you all. (you excluded Talisker) :lol:


Perhaps you should spend less time feeding animosity (hence reinforcing it) in this manner and opt instead to let people learn from their own mistakes. YFred was on a self-inflicted downward spiral. Perhaps Gasman is doing the same. She trolls other fora too, just like YFred. Maybe she gets away with such attacks elsewhere. Anyway, she's been here longer than you think :wink:

All are entitled to their moans and sometimes people offer good advice. But Gasman has to learn for herself how far she can push people before she is ignored or pitied.

Your sympathies with her derive simply from the fact that the only people she does not attack are TCs and Turks.

Back on topic ...

Attack by all means but with counter arguments not insults.

Its a shame that you compare Gasman with Yfred. I had a go at Yfred more than once about his language. Perhaps it was the Cypriot genes he carried. We all put our opinions forward Oracle, and Gasman responds. She did not as a rule begin insulting out of hand.; but these are the games you all play. We call them 'Bizans entrikaları'. No need to translate as they are 'stolen ' words.

Whether she has been here before is of no significance. She carried her arguments in a respectful way until you all ganged up on her.

I am all for justice and equality, and am sure Gasman, does not need me to defend her, but I read for enjoyment, and learning; I hate this to be dotted with language which your friends call 'debate'.

Your opinions are purely subjective and I've already explained to you why you sympathise with her. Your opinions also constantly contradict themselves since it was you who first compared her to YFred.

Not at all. YFred spiralled out of control.

Of course, this twinning twixt Scotland and Cyprus is pefectly apt - just three similarities:
1. We have the magnificent red deer, the monarch of the glen, and you have the sheep, or is it a goat, the shy and timid moufflon!
2. We shoot and eat the red grouse, a bird capable of 80 mph on the wing, and you catch sparrows on glued sticks then pickle and eat 'em!
3. We have the silvery Atlantic salmon, a wonder of nature with its ability to navigate the ocean and return to spawn in the river of its own hatching into life, and you have the sardine!

4. We both share the same patron Saint (Saint Andrew)!
5. Both Scots and Cypriots wear skirts (or is it the Greeks?). Does the Vraka count?
