lol GR! Maybe you can clear this up. I've asked about this for years. You see it everywhere. Sometimes whole streets of quite nice looking houses with those rusting rods sticking out all four corners.

I've been told it is something to do with 'rates'? or property taxes? That if, technically, the building is unfinished? or whatever they pay less?

What is that all about? I mean it's pretty obvious from the age of most of them that they are not going to EXTEND ABOVE.

old tradition of building the daughters house on top. Cypriots haven't yet mastered the anglican tradition of kicking the kids out at 18 and charging them rent for their own room if they need to move back.

The UN Secretary General’s Special Adviser for Cyprus Alexander Downer said that they knew who was behind the theft of thousands of UN documents in South Cyprus. Downer said that the theft of the documents was a gross violation of a status of force agreement between the UN and the Greek Cypriot Administration and a contravention of the European Convention on Human Rights and EU law.

In an article published in an Australian based website, the UN Special Adviser Alexander Downer wrote that the thieves who distributed the information to the Greek Cypriot media which published the documents left a trail which was traced back by the UN’s information experts to where the theft had taken place, South Cyprus.

Downer who pointed out that the United Nations was shocked when they found out that one of their staff member’s web account had been hacked said “The staff member’s email account was hacked. They just didn’t steal 10-20: They stole thousands. It wasn’t just that the emails were stolen, it was what they did with them. The emails were sent to a local newspaper which then distributed a selection of them around the rest of the media and published a fair few itself.”

He said initially the Greek Cypriot authorities denied the incident, claiming that the UN documents had been handed over to the Greek Cypriot media by an unknown person in New York.

“The UN technology people traced the hack job to a hotel in South Nicosia. A few other enquiries revealed who had stolen them” he added.

The UN Special Adviser also pointed out that the Greek Cypriot government has opposed the idea of the establishment of a parliamentary enquiry.

Fuckin' outrageous.
