RE msg 2, MaggieAndBernie: (...) Not sure I could stay awake through that lot! (...)

=> I'm sure you shouldn't even *think* about going. Plenty of football and soap stuff for the empty headed on this board, eh..?

What makes you think, DC, that you are the judge and arbiter of who can post what on any thread?

Hey come on guys, these Sundays at Sidestreets in Kyrenia are fab for we starved culture vultures. They are informative, followed by great grub in good company, and the views from Onar village are some of the best in the area. And Luca who is giving the presentation is a charming young Italian fromVenice - now that is worth going for!

Wonder how many from Cyprus44 I will see there?

Oh, and by the way, my husband has a job staying awake, not because he is disinterested, but because he is too comfortable!!!!!!

Msg 3 DC I am not a football fan nor do I follow soaps! I was merely referring to the 'presentation & full sunday lunch' as mentioned in msg 1. If I have a full sunday lunch I am shortly afterwards to be found 'pushing out Zs' (that means sleeping to you non english!) Is this event anything to do with you Hans? if not I don't know why you have to be so aggresively defensive. Yes DD it was meant in jest and I meant no offence to the original poster - if I caused any I apologise. Blimey has a new law been passed here i.e. thou musn't have a sense of humour?
