There is kindnesses going on every day. What are we complete idiots? There is also conflict every day, I prefer to see what is happening in both cases so as not to be surprised by the bad things. Lets get real.

Excuse me but I gave you a very positive story from SA and a great script from Monty Python and a fantastically hilarious news report. If you choose to only look at the negatives and not give me enough praise to write you some more witty news reports, you have only your self to blame.:shock: 8)

Most Cypriots will have used this gesture at some time in their life , its when you gently glide the palm of your hand down your chin , this little expression highlights the uniqueness of our loving culture that if we were to remove , or even put aside the heavy constrains upon us that create division and conflict then indeed this island is the Paradise on earth. There are thousands upon thousands of Cypriots that live away from Cyprus , yet they retain the uniqueness of the Cypriot culture in so much of their daily activities. We are also a race of people that easily adapt and integrate with the society at large new immigrants that for instance arrive in the UK are carrying some much excess luggage in terms of their strict adherence to their brand of "culture " and religion that they stick out like a sore thump the Cypriots have generally mixed and adapted accordingly.
