Jimmy Light is the man you need to contact in connection with Cornelius Desmond O'Dwyer, Jimmy was there at every event when Connor (I believe that was O'Dwyers 'Nom de Plume') embarked on his campaign to discredit EVERY vestige of Cypriot business regardless of it's function.

He was advised severally to hold his tongue and failed to do so.

He even resolved to approach the political leaders of both Cyprus and the U.K. whilst rallying a rabble of deadbeats at Alexander Park (ignored of course)............... (Jimmy excluded from the term 'deadbeats' for, although he was there taking notes, he is a 'Gentleman of the Road').

Connor DID set up camp in the street, he was closely watched by Jimmy and, as far as I know, Jimmy done quite well out of the period since he was a 'Self Appointed Spokesman' on Connor's behalf and managed to earn quite a comfortable living charging £5. 00. a time to Japanese tourists, £10. 00 to Yanks (because he didn't like what they were up to in Iraq) "The bleeders ar' arta bleedin awdar Guvna" said Jimmy, but only £1. 00 for locals since they were mostly his regular patrons.

Connor bad-mouthed the Cypriot society to such an extent that any sympathy he may have gained initially, dwindled into obscurity soon after he decamped.

Last I heard of Jimmy, he was lodging in an unoccupied house in the Kensington area, having gained access through a pantry window and has adopted the identity of a prosperous American (who owns the house but only resides there for two weeks every year) and has established himself as 'Housekeeper' which invented title has given him access to all the local tradespeople's goods, all services and amenities thereto and as much Guinness as he needs, ALL courtesy of a scheming mind and the ability to 'Con' people (more successfully than his half namesake apparently) and all at the expense of the prosperous Yank who will no doubt be somewhat less prosperous when he foots the bill for our Jimmy.

"Gaw blimey Guvna', if ol' Conna Gits bleedin' stuck fer digs, 'e kin git stuck in 'ere wiv me mate

Sadly, that is the last conversation I had with Jimmy But, now that I am in the U.K. and appointed to attend a meeting in London shortly, "I'll look the Geezer up "

Hello Maynard.

Does your post have any relevance to the fact that Karayiannas and Co are now in prison?

Strange way to do business eh?

Funny that, and here's me thinking that they were all tucked up with Jimmy Light.

Conor did not badmouth all Cypriots or all of Cyprus, just the morons he had the very bad luck to deal with, for those who had wronged him and his family there is much evidence, both father and son Christoforos and Marios Karayiannas and AN Other are in prison for ABH tonite and sentencing is on Monday they were frogmarched out of the court with the smiles wiped off their faces. 'Holiday homes from Hell' an itv documentary will be telling his story. In the UK we have these types of programs to WARN others of these dangerous types who take your money and threaten your life. His website was ONLY full of evidence and proof and his protests ONLY necessary, as nothing was going to be done.

ABH is a lesser sentence for putting someone in hospital with serious injuries for a week, and we all suspect that maybe 'the system' here will not give them the sentence they all deserve these brave men who fight three onto one It was proved to be a premeditated act by a policeman called as a witness, who recieved the call saying they were about to do 'it'

But ABH in the UK carries the same sentence as GBH in the UK and that is five years. They are all now convicted criminals, the other cases against them also hopefully will not go their way. Its not a perfect answer to this dreadful case but its certainly far better than most of us expected.

Their business hopefully will go down the pan.

As an aside the woman who has 'bought' Conors property has been well and truly hung out to dry last week in court by her own solicitor who is now denying ever meeting her

This is not opinion anymore this is fact.

For now a result

Au Contraire Milo, the police, the judicial system, the legal system and process of Cyprus, estate agents, builders and indeed ANY business or official office connected with property suffered the fury of Cornelius Desmond O'Dwyer's campaign.

His biggest crime (as far as I am concerned) is that he underestimated the business acumen of Cypriot businesspeople, in short words.

"He tried to outfox the fox!!".

[Milo]

"He tried to outfox the fox!!".

On the contrary Schnauzer the 'trying' although the other side carried it on for years in an effort to wear Conor down and empty his pockets was the outfoxing that never worked, once of course the Presidential Palace got involved. One of the other cases against two of the convicted criminals carries a 7 year sentence also. It was NOT classed as GBH as the judge in court yesterday decided that the Doctors report from the UK where he recieved treatment for his kidneys after he left hospital here, was NOT telling the truth in her opinion Its obvious that the sentence will be light and if so then anger will rise again. But if nothing else they are convicted criminals and more importantly GUILTY.

It is indeed a good day for thousands of people in Cyprus who are waiting in the wings to get their similar cases heard and a bad day for the scum of Cyprus who have been running the good name of Cyprus into the ground without reproach for many years. Its certainly not enough punishment imo but the door has been forced open and the bad stuff is leaking out.

Its a good day for the many good Developers in this country who have been dragged down with this mess as well but never spoke out against what THEY all knew was going on, unfortunately Conors is only one of thousands of cases so more to come. Many cases equally as bad. A number involve their properties being sold twice....

I think THE most serious mistake Conor made was when he telephoned (and published on his blog) the Son of a businessman and left a message for his Father, the message WAS, " Tell your Father that he is a F*****g C**t"....................... and I think THAT just about sums up the integrity of Conor's campaign.

Cypriots do not like such effrontery and abuse (neither do I) and Conor WAS reminded that he was "Not in England now" during one stage of his ignorant exchanges.

Perhaps such behaviour is acceptable in the U.K. it is certainly NOT in Cyprus, we are far too gentile a nation.

[Jack M]

Funny that because I hear someone committed perjury in an open courtroom a couple of weeks ago whilst under oath. I've also seen the proof of it. Seems that the effrontery of lying in court escapes them.

I also hear on the grapevine that the son of this person who committed perjury is under investigation by the police after a formal complaint of Fraud was made against him. I also hear that at the same time this person made their complaint the Attorney General was ordering the same investigation.

Seems the time has come for this scum to go back to the sewers with their relatives.

Are you implying that only Jews behave like that?

Well spotted, in my eagerness to vilify the ignorance of Conor (in this particular instance) I slipped up, kindly accept that I meant to use 'Genteel' BUT, thinking about it, the amount of development that is being undertaken by the Israelis in the stolen region of Cyprus, it may not be too long before we DO become a 'Gentile' nation.........already.... God forbid.

On a more serious note, had Conor offered such an insult to MY father, I doubt if he would be out camping the day after he mouthed his obscenity, he should count himself lucky that the Son of the gentleman who was targeted with such a shocking comment was able to restrain himself.

The possibility still exists that his outburst may cost him dearly, unless the trial judge is British (or related to miltiades) in which case such abuse may be considered acceptable. (IMHO)
