Re: Another huge church- but what a location!
Happy in Cyprus- I am not telling anyone what to do. I understood forums were for expressing opinions. Like you I love to see little traditional churches dotted around the Cyprus countryside- the newly built places are not especially beautiful, and this is completely out of context on unspoiled moor...

Another huge church- but what a location!
This morning while taking the dog on a hike over the hills between Mellissovounos and Koili, at over 2000 feet, I was astonished to see a huge construction project underway in the middle of nowhere. It turned out to be positioned over the remains of a little church which had fallen down years ago- a...

Re: Is Trump mentally ill?
Dominic- are you saying that Hitler was unbalanced because he only had one ball?

Re: An explanation of the post Brexit mentality
Just a minute outasite- this is ALL ABOUT ME. I may have left uni with my Ph.D in media studies, but I'm buggered if I'm going out to work yet- the bank of Mum and Dad are financing another gap year when I will be roaming round "having a relationship" with Europe. the reason I voted "...

Re: Brexit Plans are now being disclosed
I googled "racism" and checked the first five dictionary definitions. I then got the entry for "Nigel Farage" on Wikipedia- moderately long, but worth reading. Based on this research, I agree with Cyprusgrump that he did not say anything "racist" in the campaign, nor in...

Re: Cyprus Talks end in Geneva with no agreement, and now Erdogan has his say
The Church, EDEK, DIKO,ELAM, The Greens, (and the lady who threatens to set herself on fire) are all out to snooker any reasonable propositions as far as I can see. As pointed out above, there are vested interests here which do NOT want any boats rocked lest their artful Byzantine ways are threatened.

Re: An explanation of the post Brexit mentality
Attending a meeting a few months ago, and with a couple of minutes before the start, I turned to a woman next to me, and politely asked where she was from. She replied that she was a (holidaying) London Cypriot who lived and worked as a primary school teacher in London. I asked how many different na...

Re: The lights are going out all over Europe
Only the most desperate in what was the “remain” camp are still bleating on about the “£350 million a week”. At least, thank God, we will eventually be free. The most persistent and poisonous obfuscation from the “remain” camp, in my view, is the “confusion” between “Europe” and the corrupt “EU proj...

Re: The lights are going out all over Europe
Remember we now live in a "post-truth" world. Stick to reliable sources like BBC and Guardian.

Re: The lights are going out all over Europe
A good article in today's Sunday Mail by someone well-placed to comment. Incidentally, I am delighted to see quality postings on this lovely new forum by Conoflex, who seems to me to be a re-incarnation of McIngy!(obviously a fisherman!) Further to your point (cyprusgrump) re. developers, I am not h...

Re: Name this Bird of Prey
Lincoln- I would agree with aphrodite. Kestrel. Nice to see so many of them here, though a Cypriot told me that "they catch snakes" which may explain why they appear to escape the hunter's bag.
