Although .... it could serve some purpose to wake up those 'brazilian' obsessed bimbos that ignore their kids and their well-being whilst spending all day in beauty salons ... hmm. Wise, indeed!

" 'O KOSMOS KEGETE, KAI TO MOUNI XTENIZETE'"
Perfect

I remember recently asking my other third what her views were on the Croatian conflict.

She responded by telling me that " If I can not wear I dont like "

" O KOSMOS PINA CHE TOUTOS TAIZI TOUS KATTOUS "

That's actually a very honourable way by which to live one's life - it scholars on prioritising. I vaguely remember my dad using it or variations thereof - and he was the gentlest man I have ever met, and a great admirer of nature. My dad always had cats, dogs doves ... even a pig... as pets which were well fed and doted upon - they were fed and looked after and no song or dance was made of it or the buying of 'special' food etc. I think some people think they are better pet keepers because of the brands of food they buy.

It's a very interesting maxim on which to reflect (you, my dearest, should do a little more of that) - so, why don't you start a thread to dissect the moral standing behind such Cypriot sayings and sentiments. And perhaps people can throw in more wise sayings into the thread (such as the other lovely one used by The Subaltern above regarding shelling koutsia. ) We can dissect such Cypriotisms and preserve or discard as dated.

Here is one for Milti.

'O KOSMOS KEGETE, KAI TO MOUNI XTENIZETE'

That's a great Cypriot saying!

Is it wise for females (or men) to not look after themselves?

Unfortunately, it's a superficial world, and men and women (no gender discrimination in this) need to look the part. First impressions always set the tone, when meeting other people, or job interviews. It's a fact.

Mr, Phafitis,

You said: "I do not know about colonial mentality but I do know Peasantry Mentality" You have just proven my diagnosis! You definitely suffer from the condition of colonial mentality!!! Can you feel it at all?

Mr Subaltern,

You need to stop reading rubbish tabloids!

Now do something useful and post the page 3 girl or something!

[The subaltern]

Mr, Phafitis,
You got me there! Who is this page 3 girl? I am sorry I do not know what you mean. My "peasantry mentality" is still on page one. Help me to understand you.
If you do not respond in a language I can understand do not bother.

The RoC has been doing a brilliant job criminalizing this practice and has even made the 'Sovereign British Bases' check those areas that the RoC itself cannot monitor (because our colonial masters say they belong to them! Well, of course the Royals say the territory belongs to them, her majesty, but of course any illegal activities carried out on that 'sovereign' territory are all the fault of the RoC and its citizens - by some twisted British logic ).

Bullshit divorced from any factual reality but that serves your 'propaganda' need. So same old same old from the same old.

Anyway, that bird watch charity was set up by a foreigner, wasn't it,........

Who knows what 'that' charity is in your fantasy world. Birdlife Cyprus is funded , not exclusively, but predominantly by Cypriots, mainly the Levantis family via various foundations they have set up for such purposes. Of the 10 council members in 2013 5 are Cypriot, including the chairperson, secretary and treasurer. Of the 12 staff members 10 are Cypriot. These are all real world FACTS easily verifiable from the 2013 Birdlife Cyprus annual report. Of course such real word FACTS do not suit your propaganda objective of trying to present an impression that those that raise awareness of the illegal trapping in Cyprus and the damage it does to many rare and endangered species are in fact just 'foreigners' with not real interest in Birds and conservation but actually do so out of some hidden objective and motivation of trying to vilify Cyprus and Cypriots.

There is reality and objective truth. Then there is GiG's world and rarely do the two ever intersect with each other.

Back trolling with nothing to say except calling everything 'bullshit' unless it supports your anti-Cypriot views. Offer what suits you and leave out the rest ... missing numbers, but we know your record.

Back trolling with nothing to say except calling everything 'bullshit' unless it supports your anti-Cypriot views.

My views are not 'anti Cypriot' they are merely pro truth and so yes I am back again to once more show that you have nothing but utter contempt for actual factual reality whenever such does not suit your propaganda needs.

I call as bullshit that which IS bullshit and clearly and demonstrably so. That doing so brings me into conflict so regularly with yourself GiG is inevitable. Your claim that "The RoC has been doing a brilliant job criminalizing this practice" is made up bullshit not supported by ANY credible evidence what so ever. It is a view that is directly contradicted by that of Birdlife Cyprus as recently as it's own 2013 report on such matters.

This autumn’s mist netting levels were 54% higher than in 2002 (index value of 100) and is one of the highest levels ever recorded since the start of the surveillance programme.

Illegal bird trapping is taking place at an industrial scale nowadays, as confirmed both by our survey area monitoring and from enforcement data (hundreds of mist nets and thousands of limesticks were confiscated). And yet the political will to tackle this ecologically damaging problem at its root has been at the lowest levels of the last few years, with even some Ministers expressing a sympathetic attitude towards the so called ‘traditional hunting’ and some politicians stating openly on TV that they eat ambelopoulia even though they are aware that it is illegal.

That you also try and portray Birdlife Cyprus itself as

Yet - we have endless foreigners who know NOTHING about Cyprus jumping on some Hellbound Scatology Gibbons type of anti-Cyprus lies and propaganda

despite the clear irrefutable easily discoverable evidence that it is no such thing at all, just shows yet again the degree to which you will scream and shout and rant that red is actually blue if that is what your propaganda needs require and then try and character assassinate anyone who dares to say actually red is in fact red and not blue.
