I used to be a top notch bowler in my school and no one would bat against me in our local park. I used to also knock the ball for twelve and got banned in our school playground for losing to many balls over the wall but where are we going to get the rest of the team......

[Baggieboy]

all leg side me. Anything outside leg Id be caught in the slips. but I was a classic left hander. I did, however get a ton once -more than 2 of my so called cricketting brothers!

Hated left handers, did not suit my style of bowling. I could not see the wicket properly and that put me off. Made bowling at the batsman a must to get him out of the way......hehehehehe!

I'd ban the fecking lot, so I could just live amongst Cypriots!

Best people on earth!

We aren't looking to move to the "little Britain" areas, but a more Cypriot type town like Paralimni or perhaps an inland village.

Sorry but you're about 15 years out of date, Paralimni and especially the Kapparis area is a "Little Britain".
I lived there for 14 years and saw it change beyond recognition especiallyin the last 4 years, I'm English and proud of it but there are people in that area that I wouldn't mix with in the UK and won't mix with here. I'm not alone as many of the long term Brits that live there are pissed off with the way it's changed.

I now live in Nicosia and love it, it's more Greek (although more people speak better English than in the tourist areas) and much more civilised than on the coast where everybody is trying to make a quick £.

As for how the Cypriots feel, I've had 2 punch ups in 15 years with Cypriots who very anti British and showed it a bit too much but I had more in the 15 years before with dick heads in the UK.

My advice is don't expect more from Cypriots than you would from anybody else, don't give crap but don't take it and you can have a good life here.

Hope this helps.
