As usual you are rude (that is your style and mentality) and you call me IDIOT because you are the one who has a scatter brain and for this it’s my fault!

Is it my fault because you choose to chop your balls and don’t get regular service? I don’t think so!

With you usual slicing style, because you are incapable to write any reply more than 2-3 lines, as a concise and coherent text, you try to find reasons to cover up you own failures.

In my reply I gave you my own reasons why I made the choice to read the book, “The Cyprus Conspiracy” and Not the Book of C. Hitchens.

At the same time I posted 2 reviews for each book and more importantly I posted the links to AMAZON to give you and anybody else the chance to read the reviews on your own. In both counts the book I bought and read, wins hands down! You must not forget that the “Cyprus Conspiracy” was written not by a Greek but by one of your own people.

Here are some replies to your idiotic comments.

1)   It is not my fault or of my XP OS that you are not cable to post the correct code! Not the first time. I can assure you that I have also a program VLC Viewer that I can see any type of video code but “Google Chrome” chooses not to update it. So blame your self.

2)   I asked you to post a Travel report and almost a week later…. You were posting bollocks…. from wherever you sleep, probably your hideout at the Scottish and English border.

3)   You choose to go wherever your assignments require but I don’t have to visit any country, I don’t want to.

4)   Your preference regarding books, are different of mine and I have no reason to justify my preferences.

5)   Your fertile imagination runs ahead, lying, while my cousin who lives in Cyprus and was near the landing Beach, where the Turkish head of the invasion was  killed, told me that for 3 days they manage to resist the landing killing any Turk coming on the beach.

6)   Another idiotic comment from your ignorance on how a board is running. Only the admin and Mods can see your IP and not us the members……. My guess was correct that you were not in Cyprus and the photos you posted…… are from the past. As about the photo……. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/OsPi_e2Ti0EFBjZtQSFSWY-bdGkusaaU0RIKLYJaYRyfAnPb5YdZWcccObR0CBr7ec-uWg=s85

So you found a cheap ticket, last minute to go and say goodbye, to your Mistress, for a long time.

7)   Your actions prove that you are fantasising about your rich lifestyle, life, not me!

8)   The NEW Junta leader, Dimitris Ioannidis (a Mossad subordinated agent by his brother in Law - a dentist who was the Mossad head in Greece) who deposed the Dictator G. Papadopoulos, because during the Yon Kipur war refused the US supplying planes to refuel in Greece, was the one who ordered the coup against Makarios.

    Of course there was shooting between Greeks during the Coup but do you know 
    who saved Makarios from the Pallas? It was MI5 agents that took Makarios at 
    the British Base, where he spoke by Radio to the Greek Cypriots and then 
    appeared in England! Was he one of your agents and why the file about Cyprus 
    has not opened yet?

9)   The NEW Junta of D. Ioannidis fell in 3 days, during the invasion, because most of the army were still pro the old Dictator Papadopoulos (a CIA trained Major) and the Americans had already organised the return of the self-exiled in Paris, K. Karamanlis. It was him who after the 2nd Turkish air bombardment (Attilas) who succumbed and signed the end of hostilities and division of the island. BTW it was him who a month before the Turkish invasion had travelled to Washington for talks with the Americans and after the 2nd invasion took Greece out of the NATO for long time. Did you know all that?

Finally as you did not posted anything interesting before, already mentioned, at least the people can read something more interesting about the plight of Cyprus!

I would suggest anybody who would like to visit the island..... to go despite the lack of real good travel report from the absent......Moby.

Rich words coming from the forum guttersnipe. While I do not think you are an idiot you make so many assumptions that your postings are often meaningless rambles from a semi senile Greek.

What I am curious about who has benefited from a 'divided' Cyprus?

Certainly neither the local Greek population and to me it seems the imported Turkish population. What is sort of sad is that there seem to be mineral rights but I doubt either local population will benefit from this wealth.

Wiz, Somewhere you posted a vignette of visiting a friends property that is now on the Turkish side. Both an interesting and amazing report. Where is that post?

2) Read post 17

3) The large oil companies, IsraHell (RoC is co-operating with Israhell for the LNG) and peanuts for the Cypriots......North and South.

I don't remember in which post.... search my posts to find my comments.

As Wiz enjoys his fantasies - rather than deal with his fondness to 'attack' anyone pointing out his howlers- we can take this opportunity to help others who might bring their FSU partner to Cyprus and mock Wiz' 'assertions'..

SC was on a 90 day RoC tourist visa and her last day was yesterday. I have already explained that Russians can get a visa in less than an hour -online.

She spend most of her time in the 'north' - where she also got 90 days - each time she re-entered by car - from the 'south'

She could have stayed in (or left Cyprus via )  the 'north' - but that would have meant her appearing to  'over-stay' - as far as the RoC ('south') were concerned. She left for Moscow ( Ural Air) from LCA - for £37 Pounds - *I* drove her there in the 'north' registered car and am 'sofa-surfing' [ ;) ] - staying with a Greek Cypriot - who is a geek  and lives in the mountains... (I'll now have a Cyprus IP address, Wiz)

Today, I'll cross to the 'north' - EU citizens have freedom of movement and CAN enter via the 'unrecognised' ports of the north and go south - unlike Russians / Ukrainians / Belarusians - unless accompanied by their husband or civil partner.

Poor ol' Wiz and his conspiracy theories and 'counter-viewpoints' ...   The FACT is that Greece - whether a 'puppet' of the CIA - or not ... I highly doubt that the CIA / Mossad controlled all aspects of Greek politics  - simply can't deal with the FACT that Greece - meddled militarily - in Cyprus and ended up screwing up the island - leaving 'Greeks' killing each other and then Sampson's thugs turned on the TCs ...  resulting in .... Turkey arriving.

I shall pass his 'Radar dome' on the Troodos mountains, today - and will post a photo - plus my car insurance / road tax for the RoC - post a photo - clearly showing me in ....Cyprus  :chuckle:



It is v. early here and the flipping Peacock announced the sunrise some time ago

Last night, we ( Paris and I ) went to a Slovak restaurant in Pera-Pedi - 3km from where I'm staying - in Kollani - it's called Neromylos and has been open at least 20 years - They make fine Goulash with Deer meat (Venison) ... We came late - so just had a Slovak Pilsner - on draught and Cyprus ( Turkish ) coffees ...  Skieto  -  I paid on my Paypal Mastercard .. it was £8,97 (UK)

Poor ol' Wiz....  busted, for making it all up .... AGAIN




Makarious was indeed spirited away from Cyprus - by the Brits...  I'm sure 'we' had something on him to persuade him to agree to the 1960 independence terms.. power-sharing and retaining the status of the UK bases. ... but won't it have been 'easier' for the callous Brits to let him die ?   Another Wiz 'theory' busted.... 

It is now 0625 and EVERYONE is up - apart from me ... Paris has a Vietnamese 'helper' and she has enlisted the help of another guy from her country to built a wall ...they were working in 37C, wearing coolie hats - she was making cement - when I arrived, yesterday !

Paris is disabled - but it never ceases to amaze me how in the 'north' Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Africans are the people doing shitty jobs and in the 'south' it's  Sri Lankans and more latterly, Vietnamese ..

Ironically, for all their 'screaming' - I believe the Greek Cypriots Orthodox Church is THE most happy to have few 'Muslims' in everyday society.  They, more than any other section of society - have influenced GCs to vote 'no' to compromise and hold back Cyprus

Moby

Finally you start doing, what I had requested from you in the first place, a travel report!

Of course I will never have any objection if you provide "Legal" ways to other people on how to bring or meet their "women".

When STE advised me on how to bring my (now) wife for 10 years, via the Directive 2004/38/EU, openly acknowledged and thank him  but you are an ungrateful sod and you never said thanks or appreciated my advice about the directive, which I acquired, thanks to Ste and gave it to you during our private telephone call!. I am sure you will come out, again, with plenty of excuses ... to prove that you are a devious and ungrateful sod.... Never mind  (:)

In my previous post on No 8 & 9, I have given you plenty of information and apportioned the blame to the New Junta. Here some more Info.

When the Junta of the 21 April 1967 came to power, the ex king Konstandinos II,  appointed PM
K. Kollias and it was him who negotiated the recall back to Greece of the 5000 Greek Army (ΕΛΔΥΚ),which was stationed in Cyprus, under the agreement and treaty of the 1960. In his examination in the Parliament Committee, he admitted that he did it under pressure from the US Minister Syrous Van and Kissinger and orders of G. Papadopoulos.

When the first invasion took place (Attilas I) the remained Greeks and Cypriots resisted and the Turks only managed to occupy 3 km land from the beach, but when the New Junta of Ioanidis failed and replaced by K. Karamanlis the Turks continue with the second invasion (Attilas II) and took over half of the Cyprus Island.

The withdrawal of the Greek Division from Cyprus ELDYK (5.000), by the decision of the dictator Papadopoulos, resulted in the weakening of the defense capabilities of Cyprus and thus decreased any chances of success from any aggressive action by Turkey, impacted negatively on the morale for Greek / Cypriots. In December 1967, the departments of the Greek Division began to gradually withdraw and completed in January 1968, so commence the plan of the USA and UK to divide the Island.

As about the British and USA involvement.... I can write you several pages, if you wish.

When I first visited Cyprus, at Xmas 2003, I went up to the dome with a relative from Nicosia and played snow war..... and then went back to Paphos and swim in the warm sea.

Only post photos, as a travel report because I know you are in Cyprus....... :nod: ;D

Finally

It is pretty obvious that a small country like Greece and Cyprus cannot resist foreign interventions, in Greece first the British... since 1829, then short time Germany and back to British.

After 1944 the PM Churchill instigated the civil war and reinstated the exiled King George. In 1947 the USA got involved, as GB could not afford the cost for the fight and ever since the "SYSTEM", all Greek politicians of any colour were always subordinate to the USA power, which was not difficult to achieve as all of them think about themselves and co-operate. Now we have a Supposedly left (socialist) Government who has sold everything to the Germans...... Greece has become a failed state and only a REAL popular revolution (like the French one) can save its Sovereignty and existence.

Wiz, that was a lot of words - and as usual - omitted much of any factual substance.

1/ I did not seek - nor ask for your 'advice' re the EU Directive that allowed us to bring in our Wives..  After you ( unwanted) stuck you nose in my helping N from Minsk to have her name removed from a 'scammer directory' by a jilted Scot - I realised you couldn't understand NO - when offering 'assistance' that was neither asked for - nor required.   You made matters worse - in that case, too

2/ This is 'my' chosen thread and I started it as some sort of guide to single folks - pointing out why CY is an interesting place for FSU folk and westerners, alike..... due to it's British and many other historic influences.    It is only because I lived her before - for a LONG time - that I held off suggesting CY to SC..   Who loves the place...  I'm not writing to indulge you....'sorry'

3/ Fact is...Greece - kicked of the Enosis 'shyte' and ended up with Cypriots dying and the Greeks running away ..when the chips were down.

4/ I note you 'forgot' to apologise for suggesting I was not being truthful - as to my location ...   let alone your ( you are not alone in your daftness ) suggestions as to why I'm here and how ;)

Normal service resumed:

Woke up in a wooden lodge overlooking mountains and valleys and Wiz' 'immensely powerful Brit Radar dome'  - which - if it contains anything - is more likely passive LISTENING kit...

Paris informed me I was going to assist him in an IT project and announced we needed sustenance...   He took me to a local Taverna and I jokingly asked for an Ulster Fry ( similar to an English Breakfast ) and we got this:



Halloumi Cheese, ( sides of Tomatoes and Olives) Ham, Loukanika Sausages, Fried eggs..


http://www.visitcyprus.com/index.php/en/discovercyprus/food-drink/local-produce/item/327-loukanika-pastourma




Full, we went off to install a clever little smart sensors system at a Winery in the Troodos Mountains....




In the evening we went to try to eat at the Slovak restaurant - but it was closed ? ((  - So we drove around various villages - as Paris didn't want to eat Cypriot cuisine ! ))....   This is EXACTLY what we did in a village that is now an 'AgriTourist' centre - with houses restored to high standard in a traditional manner.

Paris ate a Vegetarian Mousaka - an item he has asked for to be on the menu and I had Squid ( Kalamari ) and Chips with oodles of Tahini  and a Keo ....  Cypriot 'Pilsner'



SC had arrived safely back in Russia - the evening before - staying at the Domodedovo Guest house I use for stop-overs. ( 3200R incl 2 x transfers to and from the airport)  Andrey - the owner - finally got to meet SC and we rang her to check she was safely home ( our 6 month old Ford Focus - wouldn't start on her return and will be on an Evakuator to be repaired on Monday.. Ford Russia - initially played the shyte cust. service card - forgetting I have the personal contact number of the head of customer service !..I wanted to know she was 'sorted' )   - and to tease her - as the owner of the Taverna played and sang for his guests with his grandkids...  charming ...and it drove her nuts... as she already misses the island ;)

Cyprus was formed due to the African and E.Europe / W.Asia plate meeting and pushing upwards

The mountains rise straight from the sea - two ranges - north and south - make for spectacular scenery and the southern range - the Troodos - are taller and wider

In the winter snow can cover the tops and one needs winter tyres and can go skiing!

In the mountains, one encounters few Russians - mostly Cypriots and the occasion Brit.

Land is cheap and one can build on 10 percent and only go up 2 stories

SC is torn between living in the north - on the north facing mountains - being close to the coast - or life in the Troodos - lots of space - growing her own veg - swimming in a salt-water pool ))

The Unsinkable Aircraft Carrier: Cyprus Dispute Explained

The Unsinkable Aircraft Carrier
Cyprus Dispute Explained


Moby I came across this video and I hope you will watch it
with open mind and tell us your opinion.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHlHnCwFp5c

Message from the producer of the video, WonderWhy

In this video I look at the controversial topic of the Cyprus dispute, an island split between the Republic of Cyprus and the unrecognised Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, physically separated by a United Nations peacekeeping force, that has been operating for more than half a century.

The island was temporarily divided between the Greek and Turkish communities in 1964 due to inter-ethnic violence, and the divide became more permanent in 1974 when Turkey invaded Cyprus, responding to a coup by the Cyprus National Guard (organised by the Greek military junta in Athens)

I also look at how Cyprus' strategic position in the world of geopolitics often exacerbated the already existing tension on the island, as NATO used Cyprus as a military base to keep Soviet influence at bay.

I tried to be as impartial as possible, let's try to keep the comment section civil!

Q: Are there any checks when you cross over to the south without Visa?

My T Cypriot  friend told me NO and he is married to a Belarusian woman!

 :thumbsup:

Don't you mean IF you try to cross to the 'free areas' - as referred to by the Rep of Cyprus govt ?

I wouldn't know as it would be foolish to try

Certainly, there are checks as one enters the area of Cyprus under control of the recognised govt - I have now crossed using every point - except the one of the two latest opened on 12th November - Dherynia

https://cyprus-mail.com/2018/11/12/new-crossings-to-open-on-monday/

The British run check points are run by Sovereign Base Area Cypriots of both ethnicities and are efficient - checking the boots of cars - the new check point at 'Lefka–Apliki' is in the middle of NO WHERE and I crossed with a Russian national on our way to collect someone from Paphos and I'm guessing he was the first Russian to cross from 'north - south' - giving the time it took to check

The quickest crossing point is normally the busiest at Metahan / Ayios Dometios - I've noticed Greek Cypriots in RoC cars often refuse to stop to be checked - as they regard the check point as being 'for Turks'

1/ Driving 'south' in a 'north' car requires one to have

1/ The owner'd permission

2/ The car's log book

3/ One obtains RoC Road fund licence - Free- if the above are 'good'

4/ One buys 'insurance' - third party cover for 25 Euro for a month


After we had crossed at the new crossing we passing the Kokkina / Ekinroy enclave - I commend this book to you: https://www.waterstones.com/book/the-battle-of-kokkina/nejla-clements/9781789014518?fbclid=IwAR3Wmc1C_dbTr0mT6l3hM7T89sSkaXZnVFyxFkXZi8QNqUbVWmyhboZmiAo


As we approached Polis - he 'north' hire car went into limp mode at 2000 local and the firm we hired it from refused to answer - so we took a taxi to Paphos international airport, then - luckily - caught the last shuttle to Nicosia  - and lucked in by getting a Black Sea Pontian Greek - who spoke Russian, Greek, AND Turkish -  having lived near the TR border in Greece for 15 years - after arriving from Tblisi as the USSR collapsed

He took us across to the north - removing his taxi sign from the roof for 45 Euro at 130 in the morning

The owner of the car hire firm was hiding and refused to meet me - as I had written demanding a replacement car and our expenses....  HE .. via his 'representative' told us we were responsible for 'repatriating' the car  :chuckle:

After a week of BS I got the bank to refund get my card payment back

Now we hire a 'south' ( Rep of Cyprus ) Car and pay for fully comprehensive insurance

Loads of single FSU W are being  sent back by the Republic of Cyprus if they don't have a return ticket - sufficient funds

Two male Russians came from the UK and Russia and did not have return tickets and were not even questioned ... SC was questioned and the passport control officer asked for my 'visa' ...  I pointed out I was an EU citizen and more info and SC passed through without further ado

The 'north's ' airport will give only 14 days  - but if arriving from the 'south' - the normal 90 days

Best to arrive with one's partner










I have never claimed to be a Blue Beret

Thanks for all that.... but can you please make clear which airport SC arrived?

North or South?

I understand that you like the Limassol Area, near to "Akrotiri"........ and I guess that is where you spent your time swimming in the sun!

What the hell you were doing at Rauf Denktaş village?

Is that's how you bring your friends (No VISA) to the south?  :chuckle:

Are you planning to stay the winter there or you have to comeback and sign.......?

 :)

She arrived at Larnaca - in the 'rump' Rep. of Cyprus - 'south'


I understand that you like the Limassol Area, near to "Akrotiri"........

You 'understand' nothing, correctly

and I guess that is where you spent your time swimming in the sun!

We were there today, to attend the funeral of a dear friend

Are you planning to stay the winter there or you have to comeback and sign.......?



Sign - what ?  Divorce documents - all done ...  Our plans depend on many things and don't involve letting you know ;)

Photo taken from cliffs above Korion( Curium)  Beach, Cyprus




Quote from: wiz

Last time i was there, August 2005, I did not see any fence but you said she was allowed in to visit...... and I disputed .... of course you missed the sarcasm..... and now you mixed Akrotiri with Agia Napa too!

Visit WHERE, Wiz?  What ARE you talking about?

Quote from: wiz
Looking again the photo of SC, it is clear that you were at least 2 miles away from the beach.....

The beach is right below, Wiz .. she's high up on a cliff - Don't you know Cyprus? 

Quote from: wiz
Definitely feel sorry for you as at your age.....it must be hard not getting it for whatever reason..... and I guess probably must be your problem which makes it double harder .  :(

Are 'we' back on sex, again, Wiz ?  Look, I'm much more of a gent than you and I'm not interested in your sex life - if you still have one ... But please do not worry on SC's or my account ;)   

You ARE a strange person - with far too much interest in the life  of someone who REALLY doesn't ask for or need your 'advice' , opinions on personal matters - esp when your are SO inaccurate... 

Quote from: wiz
Yes I know how to use the "Companies House and the Land Registry" web sites  ...... but can't be arsed to find if you sold it or not!

..and yet YOU asked ..... So, you ARE a waste of time and effort and overly nosey  !

Car designer?     .....  :ROFL:

Automotive engineer, car designer ....What IS it with internet saddos who feel the need to guess and fail ?

Moby

Today I come across this interesting Video about Cyprus
and wonder if it's the same reason your women there
or most probably something else?

Haven't you used the same service in the past?

just to avoid you wasting your time.

I don't watch the videos you post

As you haven't been to Cyprus in a decade or more - like Russia / Ukraine - nothing you post makes sense.

IF you EVER paid attention, you'd know I mentioned Black Knight in my Cyprus thread ..





Am I suppose to know the "Operational Name of your Assignment (s)" ie. "Black Knight" or remember what you have been doing few months ago ????

Black Knight is one of the crossing points into the area of CY currently not under govt control '  :coffeeread:

It is the name the Brits and English speaking locals use


Looks that The North side has gained a few more SQ metres and by doing so has established a De Facto the occupation, contrary to the International Norms.

..and had to give it back...   Your 'news' demonstrates the normal quality of 'info' that you post on here ...

They ( 'The north' ) - did nab more territory in Strovillia (GR) Akyar (TR) that was not returned ... THIS time, international pressure came to  bear

https://cyprus-mail.com/2019/02/22/sba-steps-into-strovilia-fuss/

The locals - mainly Greek speaking - had been deliberately avoid the SBA / 'TRNC' checks ....
