Naturally if I get another ticket I'll have to give it to Atila - in order to curry favour.

I like to think of myself as the Victoria Wood to his Geoffrey Durham.

[david_carnell]

I'd always thought of you more as Cannon and Ball.

[*Bob*]

I don't think Cannon and Ball were doing each other though. Or were they?

I'll be needing some proper liquid cosh so they'd better be Roche 10s or I'll settle for some Largactyl or double strength Tuinol.

[lozzyloz]

Ask Alan. I think residents get a discount.

[Alan Dale]

Wait a minute *Bob* can't be racist.

He's got a coloured TV.

I never knew Turkish cypriots were a race.

[Brendan]

Well what exactly constitutes a "race"?

I know lots of Greek Cypriots (large amounts of them went to South Africa in the 60s and 70s) and they definitely consider themselves different from both mainland Greeks and the Turkish Cypriots and I am sure the same is probably true for the Turkish Cypriots.

[*Bob*]

I dunno, Brendan... It's all Greek to me.

[mockney piers]

Aphrodite was a Cypriot. Any relation?

[Brendan]

Well she had 2 mortal offspring (well so far anyway) Aeneas who was Trojan and Eryx who was Sicilian.

So her offspring are probably in Turkey and Brooklyn.

[Brendan]

And was Aphrodite really a Cypriot? I thought she was born out of the ocean, a child of Dione (?) the Greek version of the earth goddess who is almost universally prevalent in religions of Proto Indo European origin.

[mockney piers]

That's the problem with religions based upon secondary sources written so many years after the event.

Noone knows whether Dione was involved or not as the sources we have disagree. Some say that Uranus' knackers were cut off by his son Cronus and chucked in the ocean from whence Aphrodite arose (just off Cyprus, but we'll assume not in international waters).

Perhaps if the Mycenaens had been a tad more literate we'd have more clues.

But of course none of this can be true as we all know the world is only 4,000 years old!

Is it just me but sometimes I get the feeling that there are people on this forum that have been educated beyond their intelligence. Or, have you been on Wikipedia again?
