Definitely worth a 'shufty' and I have already passed on the link to several interested folk who may not ever look at Cyprus 44. (Yes, they really do exist!)



Thanks for that. Keep it coming!

Paul,



It actually says nothing in particular, it is just editorial padding, however I must praise you for repeatedly trying to raise the tone of this forum, as the 'next door's cat' & 'NN does xyz burger joint' are just so boring on this forum...well done mate

“Chosen trauma,” were the words the political psychiatrist Vamik Volkan used to described the way nations, as well as individuals, can seize upon a wrong done to them to the exclusion of any wrongs committed by themselves.



An interesting choice of words by Volkan.Clearly the GC's seem to have adopted this mentality.

Hi all,

Although i do slip into the odd football/rugby post from time to time i do find the politics of the island both fascinating and frustrating and love researching about the past.And hopefuly will continue to do so,

Paul.
