Thanks for doing this Dominic, just to get a rough idea on peoples thoughts.

Has anyone noticed that the couples who are shown around the properties that they are always holding hands. Whats wrong with that :? It is very unnatural and false, they were told to hold hands, nothing to do with lovey dovey...how many of us old married types hold hands? Me and the other half alwa...

Is that a good idea, we've already had threads about this, will Iwon'tI? Since having the vaccine won't be compulsory It should be a free choice. Dee This isnt a debate, Just a simple poll amongst forum members to see where they stand, on having/not having the vaccine, you dont have to vote, it won...

From day one, every person on Planet Earth, is an immigrant one way or another, I am an Immigrant to Cyprus who happily lives here, but I like to class myself as a citizen of the World. Albert Einstein described himself as a world citizen and supported the idea throughout his life famously saying &q...

One interesting dynamic from the change will be if British people who settled in Cyprus and have acquired their residency rights will begin to call themselves immigrants rather than ex-pats. The term ex-pat is short for someone who is living outside their native land and is usually taken to apply t...
