Since the topic is already a mess I have one question for Shah.
You said you lived all your life in Lefka and Turkey.

So where did you learn all these English?

lets just say i read a lot my dear friend Pyr

i also do speak Italian and a very little Spanish/French

however i fail to see the relation tho, so spit it out old friend




also....

well done miltiades, as they say "there is no age limit to learning" im proud of you

Forgot to say something quite important in fact. VP works for the Public Relations Propaganda office of the "TRNC"
he is on the payroll on a full time basis . His job definition is that of the official bullshitter executive , known in short as an OBE .

Your English Shah, is the English spoken in England and even the most ignorant in this forum can realise that. You must have lived most of your life in England.

You are denying your ownself and your own life by denying this fact.
It makes me wonder how much credibility could anyone give you, if you deny this basic fact.

[shahmaran]

Pyr why would i lie about my nationality when i am so eager to defend it, it doesnt make sense!

Yes i have spent some time in the UK but hardly long enough to be called "most of my life", infact not even a quarter of it and like i said, i do like travelling and i have spent time in many places.

But i STILL fail to see the relation, mainly because most of the TCs here have been away for decades, secondly i do not understand how i would become less credible even if you were right, specially when everything i talk about is either from research, first hand experience, or from socialising with people who are old enough to have seen the conflict. So once these are established, i do not see what difference it would make even if i was from Jamaica!

So please articulate...


ps. most people who meet me claim that i sound more American than British, however i have never been to America...

mrfromng , dont you agree there is more to life than bloody politics , a good bottle of wine and a pinch of salt can be very invigorating. Long live the wine drinkers of the world , recognised the world over as the true connoisseurs of life !!!
We'll share a bottle soon .

This is the reason why I asked you yesterday, which other Nationality you held, because of your travels. No one is condemning you, for living outside Cyprus, hell, look at me.! It is a little strange though, that having lived some of your time in the UK, has not given you a little bit more balanced view, about Cyprus's past. But don't worry, you're in good company with my brother-in-law, who is also from Lefke, and still lives in London.

If you remember, on your first day here, I asked you if you spent some time in the States, because of some of the "lingo" that you were using, but as time wore on, you became more British with your "trash talking". Very typical language used by youth, drinking and swearing.

Oh, it brings memories, when I was growing up in London.

Amen to that Miltiades, finally something we can aggree on, i might be young but i do know how to enjoy a good bottle of wine, infact i got a glass here my self...

Having said that, i have to give it to you GCs on your alcohols, specially your wine, its the only reason i ever come to the south

...and dont think i have not noticed you phrase life in such way, very arty perspective i must say, specially for someone who dislikes artists
