............. and, therefore be closed down?



Or, is there a timing issue.



Could each Mod please give their own opinion.



I do not want members to criticise your opinions, as you do a very tough job and put in many hours doing it.



Obviously, this is a "touchy" subject and somewhat directed at AJ re the Apoel postings. I would appreciate other Mods answering as well. It may highlight why some Mods behave differently to the others. Therefore showing up some inconsistencies.



The reason I have put this in the public domain and not asked in secret, is that I believe IMHO, that members should know what is, and what is not expected of them.



Thank you.

There you are an irrelevant and hopefully irreverant answer. There is no big rule book on how to be a mod on Cyprus44 so there will be no set answer. I don't have one and nor would any other mod I guess. My personal tolerance of off topic posts is quite high, but there is no specific number so move on down the bus!

Why Elephants?

Could knock this on the head for serving no purpose, or just plain daft.

But I bet it could get sillier.

So which bin should I put Olive stones in?



Brown one for 'Food Waste'?

Green one for 'Garden Waste?

Black one for 'General Waste'?

Purple one for 'Non-Mulchable' Domestic Waste?









Or should I just chuck them out the car window?

Evening all. I'm sorry I haven't replied, it's just that I didn't log in for a couple of days.



What a joke!



I think it shows just what people really want. I include a few "Mods" as well!



"Two faced" springs to mind.



Anyway, that's the serious bit over with. Now a question:



You are one of ten foreman on a new TRNC development. Surprisingly, the site is finished, all utilities connected, all that's required is the house numbers need screwing on each property. There are 100 properties.



As you are foreman number 6, how many "sixes" do you need to collect from the maintenance department?



When the correct answer is given, I will request this topic is closed!
