While Scots were living in caves and painting their faces blue, Cypriots were sculpting marble statues and constructing temples until they were blue in the face. :wink:

We both produce distilled spirits that can blow your brain apart, but you'd only really want to indulge in those from one of the nations. 8)

We both like to package offal and make it into a delicacy (us, haggis; you, sheftalia), though ours is known as the 'chieftain 'o the puddin' race'! :P

Cypriots and Scots love their deep-fried national delicacies - Cyprus has kalamari and loukoumades, and Scotland pizza and Mars bars! :lol:


I notice that no mention is made of the Cyprus thistle and its more juicy cousins (Gafgaroukia/wild artichoke?). As you said earlier, they (the thistle famiy) are more advanced in Cyprus.
When in Scotland and watching these interesting plants, always reminded me of how our donkeys relished eating those thorny 'abominations'.

I couldn't find a picture that shows how his eyes normally look, but you could go to http://www.cybc.com.cy/tv/index.php?opt ... Itemid=263 and watch the RIK news for tonight (when they get round to putting on there).
