Yes, Piratis, I agree – perhaps not the best song to have chosen to debate, given the forum. However, what do you think of my idea about the competition, where we choose a totally banal subject and wait to see who will jump on it and politicise it? I think it could be a...

Oh hang on. Now I get it. Now I feel rather foolish. Such a competition already exists, but I just didn't know it. Doh! Sorry guys. Haven't been here that long! Still getting the hang of things.

It does exist, doesn't it? You know, the competition...? Guys?

I was also expecting this :-)

You are right my friend the name of Istanbul comes from "eis stin Poli" :lol:

the discussion about the name is rediculous imo.

i have this great song on my computer called : IstanbuluDinliyorum from : YavuzBing

is there anyway to find the lyrics (or a translation) so at least i can sing with (or understand)
thanks

Sneezy - that's just amazing! Great link. Now imagine how many Americans could find Cyprus in 1974 and how much they cared what Kissinger was doing! That's what you call a responsible democracy! :lol:

I am a citizen of the Republic of Cyprus and my birthplace is Istanbul. In all of my Republic of Cyprus IDs and passport it says my birthplace is Istanbul not Constantinople. If Cypriot government accepts it as Istanbul I guess you need to accept it as Istanbul too.

You are NOT a citizen of anything with a beginning , middle or ending with Cyprus associated with it. Perhaps a holiday tourist on an illegal permament basis if you like

Or even perhaps an illegal immigrant / alien / tresspasser.

I can assure you once the Cyprus problem is in good hands , because as far as I have seen nobody in our government can handle the stressfull load of the Cyprus problem on their hands , you will be taken back to a place where you can call yourself a "citizen".

If this is your way of winding me up...then I might as well rename myself to "time bomb" and let you wind me more

Heres a little freestyle poem for you since we both have lyrics'n'verses in common...

They day we meet eye to eye
I not so bad of a guy
I wouldnt want you to die

We've been passed the guilty wars
Now the image is in the past
Opening up peacefull doors

And kicking you back to citizen city
with a shiny boot colored with a cyprus flag
and all your clothes in hand in a cyprus bag

All with the love and respect
of a cypriot that wants whats his
please dont take this as a diss
im just about to put you correct

Thank you ,

and have a wonderful and colourfull day
