the usual b*ll*cks about the long discredited theories about the Anglos - an incorrect term to refer to to the Angles, Saxons and Jutes, a few of whom came to Britain in the 4th/6th Centuries -and which coming from you contains racist overtones - the Genetics sugests that overall the mojority of the British population can trace the majority of their ancestry back to these early neolithic settlers and no one group of later incomers has added in total more than 5% to the Genetic pool: the number of Anglo-Saxons was probably at most 250,000, no more than 10% of the population, and as recent Historical reaearch has shown by eg Francis Pryor there was in fact a continuity of cultural practices from pre-Roman times which does not support an anglo saxon replacement theory.
As for Cyprus - it was probbaly not a few Neolithic people but the genetice her supports a substantially stable gene pool going back to neolitic times, particularly MtDna long before the alleged invasions of the Mycenaeans in say 1100BC, a societyb that was possibly providing brides to the Pharoes of Egypt, but onec again you show Anti Cypriot btendancies by dismissing the early history of Cyprus and subbordinating it to an evenmt which is of increasing dubious hirosticity, ie a Greek Invasion in say 1100 BC or so. .
Never mind the bollocks, eh, God the Save the Queen...la la la...You know what I find so humorous about these forums are the alter-egos. A good example is how you're trying to make yourself some kind of genetics expert to validate what is obviously your anti-Greek agenda. But you're not a genetics expert, are you? So why do you pretend to be. You get his scientific things from another forum and you're attempting to pass it off as your own "research". So according to your selective copying-and-pasting Greek Cypriots have nothing to do with Greeks but yet you modern British (as opposed to being uniquely English, Welsh, Irish and Scottish) are united by the same ancient and untouched gene pool. Using your attempt at a scientific argument, how culturally weak are you "Britons" that a minority can invade you and leave the minimal amout of trace in your gene pool and yet you lose your language and identity. Compare this to Greece and Cyprus that after four centuries (or thereabouts) of Ottoman rule we managed to retained our language and identity. Anyway, blather away. You know as much about as genetics as you know about Greek history, which is bugger all.
Just one more point. I've noticed with your posts you're very, very anti-Greek and show sympathisies towards the Turks. It's an hyprocrisy that you live in the free Greek part of Cyprus rather than the Turkish-occupied north. If you hate Greeks so much and it really bothers you that GC's consider themselves Greeks, then why don't you move up north. Why dont you cross the Green Line and repimand the Turks that this is Cyprus and that the Turkish flag, identity and "Turkish" in that illegal statelet's official name are "counter-productive" and add the the division. Hypocrite.
Well then bonny lad, have never shown sympathy to the Turks - so bonny lad, I can sympathise with the Turkish speaking Cypriots ("TSC") (and I mean those who can legally be citizens by virtue iof the 1959 treaties - not the post 74 illegals) for being currently oppressed by the Turks and I object to the efforts to ethnically cleanse the TSC from the Island, as efg GIG promotes but, bonny lad, and mark it well, I have always made the point that the isolation of the T/Cs was largely self inflicted (or rather imposed by Turkey), that TSC's were used as an excuse to invade and conquor, and as for Turkey and the Turks You will find I have consistently said the Turks should F*ck off out of Cyprus taking the post 74 settlers and the Carpet b*ggers ! I have even said the SBA should go, so wind yer neck in bonny lad when it comes to calling me any sort of Turkish Sympathiser.
I do not hate Greeks - what I hate are the Geek (sic) wanabees like GIG and others who want to destroy the RoC and subordinate Cypriot interests to the Greek alleged motherland.
As for the Anglo Saxon invasion and cultural replacement theory, there is I think some evidence (recorded by Julius Ceasar) that the Belgiea, who occupied a part of Britain and a part of Northern Franceand what is now Belgian before the Romans, spoke a Germanic language for many years, if not several centuries, before the Romans arrived in Britain and the Anglo saxon conquest was more like the revival of tribal war that had been supressed during the Roman Occupation.. See ' http://www.proto-english.org/index.html, Indeed very few Anglo Saxins came in, may be 35000 to 50000 over perhaps a 150 years and as is argued on this site while they acheived a measure of elitist supremacy after they lost power the written langauge became a written version of the earlier spoken form. Francis Pryor has otherwise shown continued cultral practices from pre-Roman times to the 14th Century that would probbaly not have survived the mass replacement theories that you propogate.
Now go boil your head, bonny lad or even better crawl back into the hole you have been hiding in for the last three years.
What I hate are foreigners who want to tell us what we are and what we should do with our own island. Piratis and barouti destroyed your bollocks.
