No - we brought back a few home-grown figs and some wild oregano. They were probably hiding there.

Anyway, they can live up to 10 years even though they seem to die in days back in Greece - crawl up a bathroom tile and then drop down dead. I thought they would only last a few days here but they've been monumentally time-consuming for the last 6 months.

What I want to know is if it's ethically/legally correct to just put them in a matchbox and post them to my aunt to release back in Greece.

I daren't try and sneak them in luggage through customs with all those GD guys looking for funny business. They would never believe they are natives if we were searched.

... or if posting them home, consult this... http://www.royalmail.com/personal/help- ... ited-Goods

We have a problem with Greek immigrants in Cyprus as well, unfortunately they are not illegal, and they nick all the jobs from us Cypriots!

There are far more Cypriots working in Greece than there are Greeks working in Cyprus.

Largest foreign ethnic groups:[6]

Greeks (from mainland): 17.3% (31,044)
British: 14,8% (26,659)
Romanian: 13.6% (24,376)
Bulgarian: 10.7% (19,197)
Filipinos: 5.4% (9,744)
Russian: 4.8% (8,663)
Sri Lankan: 4.1% (7,350)
Vietnamese: 4% (7,102)
Syrian: 1.8% (3,235)
Ukrainian: 1.7% (3,023)
Polish: 1.6% (2,951)
Indian: 1.6% (2,955)
Georgian: 1.2% (2,113)
German: 0.6% (1,162)
Other EU countries: 4% (7,035)
Other non-EU countries: 12% (22,938)

So that will be about 4% of the Cypriot population!

I didn't know there were 440,000 Cypriots in Greece! That would mean there are more Cypriots in Greece than there are in the UK.

How did you get that figure?

I said there are more Cypriots living in Greece than there are Greeks living in Cyprus.

Your figure says there are 31,000 Greeks in Cyprus.

At the last count there were over 60,000 Cypriots living in Greece, which is second only to the UK (270,000). So that's more Cypriots (60,000 - twice as many) living in Greece, than Greeks (31,000) living in Cyprus.

[And that's nearly 5 times more Cypriots living in Greece than live in Australia.]

Oracle,

They say there are about 150,000 Cypriots in Australia and about 900,000 Greek parasites. Melbourne is the third largest "Greek" city.

I got those figures from research. Only yesterday you were telling me how to google text! Away you go!

There are 31,000 GREEKS living and working in Cyprus which means there must be more than 440,000 Cypriots living and working in Greece!

You may find it’s more ethical to just step on them.

Or give them to that caring Brit family to cut their balls off and then gas them.

900,000 Greek parasites

how many of those are Greek millipedes

[Paphitis]

Oceanside,

do not defend them because there is a lot of Greek scum in Australia.

Firstly, I am not talking about the majority that have withdrawn from anything Greek! I am talking about the elites that will slash down any caring and descent Greek that wants to do something worthwhile but challenges their power. In the end people just give up and the elites don't have power anymore. The down side is that the second and third generations will lose their heritage.

Greekness is thus dying.

I know a Cypriot who had his house turned updide down by ASIO which is our CIA. ASIO and the Feds smashed through his house because some Greek told the authorities that this guy was an EOKA "terrorist" responsible for killing British service men. They forgot to say the organisation doedn't even exist today and despite all the sophisticated methods of gathering intelligence, they thought it was appropriate to terorise this poor family. It was bloody scary I am told because they came into his house with guns and a bloody SWAT team. You would think he was part of Al Qaeda!

These elites do not care about Greece or Cyprus but use them as their gravy train. Thankfully the Gravy Train has run out of steam for now.

There is a lot of shit that needs to be fixed otherwise Greece and Cyprus will lose their diaspora in Australia.

Paphitis I really don't know anything about Australian Greeks or the incudent in Athens but Ill take your word for both. My concern now is Cyprus... With all the title deed mishaps.. And the antiquated judicial system in Cyprus with regards to minorities and attorney/client rights.. Where the small businessman has to go through an antiquated system to recover his money (400)? Days..and where elites like you say have immense powers and interests... .. Ive got a question for you. As the Roc and how it is today. How has the Roc proved itself worthy to be able to govern over a minority like the Tc.?? When most of the Tc concerns have been voiced over rights and neglect of them by the Roc..even if the Tc have ulterior motives, how has the system been upgraded to nullify their accusations?

The RoC is a small country. It has some problems with nepotism, and corruption if you want my opinion. The same things that occur in Greece also occur in Cyprus. It needs to address a lot of issues if you want my honest opinion.

Then, and most importantly, there is the political situation.

Greece and Cyprus are better off without the Greek Communities in Australia. It is sad for me to say it but they are a complete embarrassment!

[Oceanside50]

I understand Cyprus' political problem very well, unfortunately even the perception of the injustice is waning....The Cypriot judicial system needs to be modified in order to meet the needs of a population that's increasingly becoming multicultural. The sense of injustice has sparked numerous uprisings all over the world. It takes years to prosecute murder trial in Cyprus, it's has to be at least 5 years since the Hadjicosti murder, and no verdict as of yet.. Migrants illegal and legal are denied due process in preserving their rights.. The Tc for years have been using the argument of the roc violating their rights and their basis for wanting an equal share of government. The best reply the ROC has had is that there should be a one man one vote... Kind of like someone asking for an orange and you give your right shoe

I asked you why you have settled on the figure of 440,000 Cypriots living in Greece. According to the latest source there are only twice as many Cypriots living in Greece as there are Greeks living in Cyprus. But still, the point made a long time ago, to CBBB, was precisely that, there are more Cypriots living in Greece than the converse. You either agree or if not, supply numbers that show the statement is wrong and kindly refrain from just trying to look 'smart'.
