My next amazing plan to reunite Turk Cyppies and Greek Cyppies and solve the Island's problemos for good.

Both sides of the line agree to choose a day where everyone swops for the entirity of the day!!

It'll be great, like a pen pal scheme!

The authorities will simply call up each resident in their homes, give them a name and address, and you turn up at the Turk or Greek's home, hand over your house and car keys and swop lives for 24 hours!

Even jobs! Even, everything!

As kind gestures, you could clean the home you are staying in, and even do a good turn in the office to build up that person's chances of promotion.

Of course, the greeks would struggle to drive those left hand drive Merc Turk imports, but then the Turks would have to deal with the fun challenges of tackling British yobbery and public disorder in Ayia Napa should the day be in summer. To be fair, they'd probably do a better job. A Turkish copper is less likely to take any shit and not shy away from applying that baton well.

So what you think? Life Swap. A day in the life of...

and at the end of the day, you go back home, shake hands with the other family and say goodbye, until the day peace reigns on God's almighty planey, AYYYYMEN.

HALLY YOU YAR.

SO I go to Agios amvrosios and stay in my own house for a day.

then what?

[pumpernickle]

well, you can look over it, see what's changed, take a few snaps. And remember that at some stage in the next few years or so, a solution will happen whereby you can return.

Or

Failing that, you could always move into one of the many abandoned Turkish homes, do it up for a few thou and live there by way of doing the big thumbs up back.

I know having your home pinched must be a stinker. I'd be well pis*ed off believe me, especially if it was done by some dim witted peasant from Anatolia. But the fact that you have come this far today, and have made a success of your life in whatever field you do, means that you have beaten them. Dont worry about it. They are the losers, not you.

so u dont think some TC's or GC's will just vandalise the houses as a way of "payback". i think its a good idea for a reality tv show but not for something where passion is still raw and tension is still there

Cyprus Problem is a serious issue not a reality show

Sorry to say pumpernickle, as well intended as your idea may seem, I really cant see such events occuring. 31 years is a very long time, and somehow I dont think people will just forgive and forget what happened at a click of the fingers.

[pumpernickle]

well, I still think it's a great idea.

Even if you only got a handful of people to take part in the exercise. Youd get the film crews rolling, and the whole island would see insights into peoples' lives and how bad things have affected everyone.

Scenes of forgiveness and concilliation would be shown and the walls would come down.

My ideas are the best, as per usual. Yawn. Yet no-one gives them fair crack.

Ho Hum.
