http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Have_one's_cake_and_eat_it_too

To have one's cake and eat it too is a popular English idiomatic proverb or figure of speech... It is most often used negatively, meaning an individual consuming, exhausting, taking advantage of or using up a particular thing and, then, after that thing is gone or no longer reasonably available, still attempting to benefit from or use it.

Thank you for the "Wiki" definition (are there no depths to which you would not stoop?) .... but how does that improve your answer?

Why should acknowledging Cyprus' majority ethnic backdrop result in accepting that Turks "deserve" a piece?

You can't have your cake and eat it

Are you suggesting one should not try to benefit from the truth, perhaps?

Who is this drivelling old witch? Hasn't someone told her X-Factor's on?

Apologies for mistaking you for a thinking person. Run along and play with YFred .... you two bigots can swap sexist sophisms.

He's in your league, not mine. And calling you a witch isn't sexist. What was the Priestess of the Oracle at Delphi, if not a witch?

I'm afraid your escalating score of errors have firmly tied you with YFred.

Perhaps you'd rather forget calling me a batty aunt when you can insult Greek Mythology too, with Turkish-style historical revisionism.

Since you favour "Wiki" quotes, here's one for you:

An oracle is a person or agency considered to be a source of wise counsel or prophetic opinion. It may also be a revealed prediction or precognition of the future, from deities, that is spoken through another object or life-form (e.g.: augury and auspice).

In the ancient world many sites gained a reputation for the dispensing of oracular wisdom: they too became known as "oracles," and the oracular utterances, called khrēsmoi in Greek, were often referred to under the same name—a name derived from the Latin verb ōrāre, to speak.


So carry on calling me a "batty aunt" or a "witch" but you "can't have your cake and eat it" too and so a sexist bigot you remain!

"The sibyl or prophetess ... sat on a tripod seat over an opening in the earth. When Apollo slew Python, its body fell into this fissure, according to legend, and fumes arose from its decomposing body. Intoxicated by the vapors, the sibyl would fall into a trance, allowing Apollo to possess her spirit. In this state she prophesied."

Sounds like a bit of a witch to me...

Double, double toil and trouble...
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.

Either that or you're a witch.

Once a Turco always aTurco, a bunch of murdering/thieving Mongols. Time to stop calling them Cypriots, only Greeks can be Cypriots. They are just Turks who got left behind, time to return back to Turkey!

Happy birthday yialousa1971... 38 today?

Your cake looks very stale though; and with decorations like that, make sure you cut a healthy slice off for the Nazi Mongoloids (who I'm convinced you must be part-descended from).

I may be batty, but unlike you I know which is the one real enemy of Cyprus ... they happen to have 43,000 troops occupying my country, but that's alright by you because North London "Cypriots" have to learn to live with this enemy ...
