Paphos Life

Call a mechanic, not an ambulance!

Devil, if he hadn't written those words, he would still have a job, so in effect, that was the cause of him no longer being Ambassador, which ever way you spin it. No! Those words were written a long time ago and were not the cause of his retirement. Because some person saw fit to publish them, pro...

It was part of my post that he may lose his position due to his written words, I was accused of having bizarre and eccentric views, seems not. Wrong end of the stick, again. He did not lose his post, he resigned. Also, not because of what he wrote, which has been largely accepted (except by Johnson...

Where is Pahos Harbour?

Maybe they're keeping the water for a rainy day

Yeah! Sure!

Surely he could have reported his findings/opinions verbally.

You obviously have no idea how the FO works.

Unfortunately, it is almost sure that Trump will declare him persona non grata and he will be forced to leave.

I cannot imagine what sort of person acting as British Ambassador, would actually write this, how foolish.

Do you really think that internal confidential documents are couched in diplomatic language?

The whole issue of Waste is one of Cyprus' most lacunate errors. I was in discussion with officials on the subject as long ago as 11 years, when I wrote a 30-odd page report on the subject, to no effect.

Do you know Hull?

Never been there, but was stationed at Pocklington in 1951/2

Quite whimsical I'd love to see how DC would cope with modern traffic!

It looks like this week is going to be sunny, with moderate temperatures for the time of year. However, it looks like it will be intermittently quite breezy, even at night, Thursday excepted, so it may be a good idea to up the irrigation a notch and check on pool/pond levels.

Just another example of why we are becoming sick and tired of the stupid rules and regulations we are expected to abide by here.

Bureaucracy was invented by the British, don't complain.

Am neither saint nor mouse, but I don't make our spats public, nor am I a public figure. The first stone was cast by the participants, not by those who accuse Boris, and if this row became public it was because it was obviously excessive. The building looks well-constructed and if the next-door neig...

Lloyd They are all self-serving twerps. How I judge people is down to me and nothing to do with you. (Firefly dixit) Jules Stewart will, as with the others, say one thing and do another.
