[Paphitis]

Err, how much time did you just waste typing out all that?

BTW GR!

During our fearless march to the front, we can stop for smoko, I may even join you as I tend to do that in stressful situations such as facing those damn Turks.

If it is so stressful for you Paphitis, why not just advance to the rear. You'll be safe there. By the time your turn comes a ceasefire will break out.

Deniz, I will have you know that I shall be at the front line alongside by pal, GR!. We will both be armed with the most technologically advanced Iphones (standard issue in the Cyprus Army ). But before we make our internet advance, we will have smoko (cough cough) and then make our fearless stand against the occupation regime at the front line by posting factual information against the illegal occupation from our advance and very stealthy and secure Iphones.

The pen/internet is mightier than the sword for now...

Oh shit! Footnote to self - need to find out if their is 3G internet coverage at the Buffer Zone.

..........that is assuming ofcourse, you and GR are on the same frequency.

I feel dizzy already.

I think GRs frequency is scrambled and very erratic.

Its all relative, I'd say. 'scrambling' might be GR's new defence...with everyone attacking my old friend; perhaps thats why!!!

I think we ought to bring out our new slogan; 'Up the Khiroikitian Front'.

Khoirokitia? Where is that?

Don't tell me you have no Map of Cyprus hanging on your wall? Unbelievable!!

Don't be silly! I have a map of Cyprus right next to a map of Australia!

And next to that is my intelligent plan/plot to bring about ENOSIS between Australia and Cyprus. It will be the end of all our problems...

Is

our = tc+gc (x+n)

Yes our, which = gc + tc

I say that because you are one of us, obviously distressed at the state of our tiny country.

I have a very detailed survey map of Cyprus on my wall at home, but it's not really accurate as the only international boundaries that it shows are that of the SBA's. Also, the names of the towns and landmarks in the north aren't what I'm used to (Kokkina instead of Erenkoy, Kyrenia instead of Girne, Cape Apostolos Andreas instead of Cape Zahir, etc...).

What do you know about cartography? You are some stupid redneck that's lost his way.

Of course Turkish is more familiar to you as it's your main language, you fake!

A chance to publicise Human Rights Day in Cyprus (and win 300 Euros!).
http://humanrightsdaycyprus.wordpress.com/

You might want to note that there are direct links to videos with the following introductory information:
Learn what everyone's rights are through stunning visual stories. Youth for Human Rights International teamed up with the Church of Scientology International to create 30 powerful public service announcements to educate and inspire the world.

They are free to question and challenge with objectivity, but their behavior in this country has been deplorable to say the least, and Australia will continue to perform its sovereign rights by securing its borders.

The amount of lives that have been saved seem to go unnoticed, as well as the country's very humane approach when handling these sensitive issues.

Quite clearly, the Australian public approves of Australia's security measures, which are humane, but never humane enough to allow illegal immigrants/asylum seekers/economic refugees/criminals free access to violate our borders and be awarded with permanent residency when we allow over 250,000 immigrants (many of whom are legitimate refugees) in per year.

AI can say what it likes, but we know longer take them too seriously.

That's interesting - digressing, I know, but 250,000 immigrants/year? How many are rejected? And weren't you telling me a while back that life is pretty tough for many new immigrants - I think you mentioned a medically-quelified immigrant who was now driving a taxi, and thinking of returning 'home'. I know such stories are common, but is Australia getting the most out of it's immigrants, not treating them as second class citizens, and thereby restricting their human rights?

More importantly - did you see the rugby yesterday?

He was an Engineer driving a cab, with many years in the Saudi Oil industry.

Life can be quite tough for immigrants that come from that part of the world due to some recent events in Oz. Many are finding it hard to find decent jobs even though they may be well qualified. This is quite sad.

I think Australia accepts most of its immigrants with very good intentions. However, HR managers within major Australian corporations who interview and hire workers don't always see things the same way, and may even choose to employ a lesser qualified Aussie (whether that be Anglo or continental European). Could almost be deemed racist, but of course this is impossible to prove.

The Government on the other hand does provide excellent support services, and many are employed within the Public Service. So no, the Government does not restrict their human rights. If they wanted to do that, then their entry visas would have been rejected in the first instance.

But yes, due to the attitudes of some Corporations towards workers from the Middle East, Australia may not be realizing its full potential, because many have top notch qualifications and still can't get a job. It is a big waste IMHO.

I can't tell you how many people are rejected, but I have no doubt that many are. 250,000 is all we are comfortable with. We don't have the infrastructure or the water resources to sustain a much bigger population because we are the driest continent.

Brisbane, a city of 2 million nearly ran out of water last year! That is scary.

Thanks, that's interesting and answered one of my questions. But did you see the rugby?

Congratulations to you and Scotland for defeating the embattled Wallabies.

I am very happy for Scotland and they deserved to win. I would have taken it personally if we lost to your southern cousins, but Scotland is OK... The Ashes loss however really did hurt...

OK, I shan't gloat, after all it is 27 years since we last beat Australia. And although we deserved to win (just!) due to courageous tackling for 80 minutes, Australia could have easily won if they'd taken their chances. Exciting match though! Though not as exciting as a match I went to recently in which the home team were winning 28-0 at half time, and contrived to lose 35-31.
