Well its understandable that the fat politicians must secure their arse's before even contemplating any type of solution.

It’s my duty to expose that…

Turkish Cypriots = Garbage

…so that if there’s still anyone out there who thinks that they’re just “misunderstood” or “caught in the middle” or whatever other pitiful assumption, they’ll see for themselves and wake up to the fact that their SOLE AIM is the Turkification of Cyprus which is only possible via the ethnic cleansing of the indigenous Cypriot!

As I said earlier…when the time is right, I will take GREAT pleasure in doing my bit to put an end to this Ottoman charade once and for all!

Says the "indigenous" Cypriot whose people wanted to give the whole of Cyprus to Greece,and now refuses to even talk about it....It is easier to blame the minority TCs for wanting to "Turkify" Cyprus than to criticise the real culprits who wanted to Hellenise Cyprus in the fist place....

You have no credibility left ,Tiberius...BAck to your keyboard...

Would there be any change of pace if the use of black limos was forbidden to the leaders and their advisers? Arrival to the talks would be permitted on foot, on bicycle or donkey. Maybe mules would be permitted too, but definitely no internal combustion machines and on no circumstances any vehicle painted black- donkeys are exempt obviously.

Additionally all chairs would be taken out of the conference rooms. It is amazing how much faster you negotiate standing up!

Ah yes, and the whole process to be on live TV with no commercial breaks.

What a great idea,Nikitas...They should do a Big Brother type show,lock the two sides in a house,cut them off from the world,and tell them they cannot come out till they agree on a solution....I bet you we would have a solution within one month....

What's your name Donald Rumsfeld?

Bir,

I think a week would be closer. The ideas sound funny, but there was a management guru of the 80, Townsend the guy who made Avis car rental a global company who formulatetd some of these ideas.

Every time I watch CYBC and see the black BMWs and Mercedes pulling up in front of the UN conference center I want to puke. Yesterday I saw a pic of the Finance Minister of Germany leaving the Bunderstag on a bloody bicycle. The man who controls the biggest budget in Europe on a bike and two Cypriots born in the 40s get driven in luxury German car across a tiny town. We have lost, it seems, a measure of what this process is about. It is how less than one million people can live on an island in harmony.

YFred,

Don is a conservative SOB but you gotta admit, a sharp mind! I wish mine was as sharp sometimes.

Yep. Fully agree.

I only ever liked one thing he said "known knowns, unknown knowns and unknown unknowns". Otherwise he is a bastard and may he rot in hell when he dies no matter how clever he is.

and unless they've lived in the north before or have close family who did,they don't give a damn about politics or the politicians and think its all bullshit being pedalled by a load of crooked bullshitters!What worries most of them now is the deep quagmire the place is sinking into with the economic recession and the increasing cost of living etc!Be sure that if another referendum comes along the scare brigade of rejectionists which includes much of the media,the church leader and a large bunch of developers,manipulators and fanatics will blow the 'no ' trumpet again and the majority will follow them out of fear or indifference,rather than risk opting for a major change which also carries risks,even if they understand that partition will be the outcome, when they have already lived with it since 1974!Of course Christophias and co. know this and that is why he is sitting on the fence,like humpty-dumpty!!But then he had a great fall as we all know and nobody could put him together again!....
