Imagine a horrible little man on the table, his dentures clapping away about watching Crossroads episode #146 back in the 60s, while listening to Loulou and wearing a Monkeys hairdo!

I mean, conversations just don’t get any more painful than that!

Who is this Loulou, I do remember a Lulu (Marie McDonald McLaughlin Lawrie)?

Bloody Aussies!

You are just jealous of my ...good looks and my authentic real life stories .
You and I , just as I and ...O , will someday meet . O, might just be lucky and get an .. effectionate hug , as for you a kick in the arse more likely !!

Stuffed your faces with food, I see, frustrated at my absence ....

What is one supposed to do Oracle? I did drop a hint on a thread, but Milti failed to see it. He is no longer a regular - just like myself. But I really expected to see you there as a surprise guest. I would have loved nothing more.

Milti wants me all to himself ...

It was such a pleasure having Deniz and Ann for lunch.
My two Helns did a wonderful job with the ...washing up !!
Great girls , Uncle John to them !!
Slept on the chair dreaming of that fine Claret !!
O, why not ...join me some time , just you and I kid , you may just learn a thing or half a dozen from an old timer !!

You cannibal you!!!

Re: Oracle, it will be sirtaki's at dawn

It was a pleasure Milti

[SSBubbles]

We had a very pleasant lunch today ( or was it supper?). Who cares?
On this days unpleasant weather - flood warnings left right and center, this was a very welcome break.
Greeted at the door of no: 80, Milti swept my wife inside the house out of the blasting wind - not even asking who she was. I arrived a few minutes later, unwisely I left my new crutches at home, not wishing my friend to see the 'new' me. By the time I arrived at the front door, Milti in his charming way already had the pleasure of my wife, I mean meeting my wife. This was just their first meeting.
Entering the house we were met with a bevy of lovely young Cypriot ladies (Yfred?), Helen 1 and Helen 2. Helen 3 and Helen 4 were unavoidably detained with other engagements. Helen is the matriarchal name of the family. Then I met Mr Eccentric Nico, Milti's elder bro and his nephew. Poor Max was nowhere to be seen.After the usual introductions and pleasantries we tried to talk about the good weather somewhere in the world - but with all the rainfall in Cyprus and the UK, talk about the weather simply dried out.
By this time my stomach was already 'playing drums', the reason being Miltis Kleftiko. In the lounge we were plied with diet coke (my request) and samosas with lovely spicy pokoras. I tried very hard not to eat too many as I knew what was on the menu.
It was not long before we were taken to the dining room where 1001 meze's filled the table. (stingy b*****d I thought. Trying to fill us up with mezes so he can have all the kleftiko for himself). I knew I should have left the pokoras and samosas alone. I thought they were the starters. I should have known better.
Then came the wine. A lovely St.Emillion - red. I had promised myself to refrain from drinking today, but the boquette was so tempting, I could not resist a measured amount, 8.5 ml to be precise. Purely as a taster. One thing I will say about Milti is his choice of wines. Suddenly I noticed the meze dishes had all been devoured and were being cleared off the table by the two Helens. Then, just like magic appeared the Super Milti Kleftiko. The mans a kitchen genius. It looked so nice and the aromatic spices he laced the lambwith were sooooooooooo hmmmmmmmmmm.
The conversation at the table began with tales of our youth in Cyprus, the naughty things us ,boys' got up to, then the price of coffee in Cyprus. We could not believe how expensive Cyprus had become. Ok, ok, I had 'credible evidence'. It just so happened, in my wallet I had a receipt from a certain 'Kafeteria Estiatorio Plateia' - Kakopetria. 2xKafes Kipriakos @ 0.50 ea, 2 ntop. mpyra at 1.00@. Total CY£3.00. Not bad eh? The date 10/04/2007. The EU screws everyone. Thanks GR, I still owe you for that coffee and beer.
It was sad that our allocated time ended. We had left our Boris at home, even thoughwe had promised to bring him to Milti's. I wanted him to meet a canine OAP - Max, but Max was staying with Alex, so he did not miss anything.
Hesitatingly we said our goodnights and hoped that we would be invited again to this lovely household where Cypriot values and tastes are upheld.
Off we went home talking all the way about Milti's Kleftiko.
Thank you Milti, the Helens, Rico and Andrew and mum. You all made our day.Thank you.

I hope Milti brings all the Helen's over here and invites us all over. I am drooling at the thought of lovely Kleftico.

(I thought Nikos was the sensible one! )

People say Never On Sunday !!! I do all on a Sunday , the one day a week that if left blank the mind wonders , the memories the tens of years before the good old days , and we were blessed we had all our families here in the UK , the children ours and my brothers and sisters , all gathered for a Sunday get together , us adults discussing a myriad of things the kids doing what kids always do. Life goes on and circumstances change , late sister left the UK for Cyprus back in 1982 , younger brother in 1991 , leaving just Rico and now just my self .
This Sunday Im having lunch at Ricos , his daughter in law a lovely girl from Mauritius , married to Andy , is a fabulous cook so we get to savour a variety of skillfully prepared Mauritius foods .Lena is heavily pregnant almost there so I volunteered to lend a hand , especially with the Cypriot delicacies for starters and of course the provision of the wines !Looking forward to it , rather late at 4 o'clock so I just had my egg and bacon , grilled mushrooms and grilled haloumi.

You better keep the 'kettle on the boil' Milti. The thought of your lovely cooking might just bring Lena into labour. Have a wonderful day.

... .Lena is heavily pregnant almost there so I volunteered to lend a hand ...

What! Are you a midwife, now?

Happy Sunday Miltiades
