I think it should be made mandatory for all those who pontificate about this island and the future of this island to get out and bloody go and SEE all of this island. And talk to the people who live on it.

Instead of living in their own heads and going on and on about ancient history and spouting rubbish about what's happening today when they obviously have no idea because they have no personal experience to draw on.

Turkey has ruined the North? Let's take that one. At least it is all low rise over there.

RoC has more than ruined a lot of the South. Limassol for starters is an eyesore. Didn't they have planning depts in Cyprus when they threw that lot together?

They are putting up another 'prestige development' on the seafront and said they were going to leave the old ETKO chimney intact in the centre of it as it is part of Cyprus history.

When I last visited and checked ... yeah, you guessed, it's GONE!

Ugly doesn't come near describing what they've done over this side.


Great post,Gasman...I look forward to reading the article... :wink:
Can you pass this onto GR! I couldn't be bothered to reply to him today...
How did that American Indian saying go....??? 'When we destroy the last forest,when we pollute the last river,when the last bit of fertile land is gone...we will all realise we cannot eat ,drink,and breath MONEY... :(

GR! would call this a Boring and Pointless saying probably... :wink:

It’s funny that those who complain are happy to reproduce and acquire material possessions! :roll:

Well you claim to be in Australia, and you claim to be a man of modest material possessions. My understanding is that Australia is full of such people, and that stealing the occasional sheep to eat and rug your kids up against the cold is the honourable Australian way. Isn't your national anthem about some modest guy with few material posessions who steals a sheep in order to get by, and then drowns trying to get away from the po po?

They become "fresh for Turks" when you ethnically cleanse them of the natives of old! New homes, fields, land, nurtured by others. Consumed by Turks!
