I beg your pardon, paphos people??
You lot need to lighten up.
Take some chill pills.
Have another Keo. NO, don't do that. Clearly some of you have had enough already.
Honestly, look at yourselves.
Try looking at the topics in Day to Day life and see WHO starts the threads.
60% are started by the same individual. Mostly as a vague one liner. The latest Corbyn Glastonbury topic is A TYPICAL.
Then along comes the usual half dozen sheep to agree wholeheartedly with him.
How can anyone RATIONAL take any of this seriously?
The forum is supposed to be about day to day life in PAPHOS CYPRUS and topics that effect people living there.
However, the forum has been completely taken over by a small number of like minded individuals who are intent on getting over their own political views regarding the Tories, Teresa May and Brexit.
Why??
Because they are scared.
Scared about change, scared that they may be personally affected, scared that their nice little lives living on a sunny island in the med with low council tax, cheap beer and a cosy way of life might just be being threatened.
I think this definition is what I am getting at .......

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/XenophobiaGo back through this forum and see when it started to change. About a year ago. The brexit referendum. Lots of nastiness started by certain members and anyone with an opposing view was shot down.
Well that is fine because now you have the chat room all to yourselves.
Are you happy? I doubt it.
What you all need to bear in mind is one thing.
You firmly believe that you are expats living in a colonial world where "britain rules the sea", where, if the fuzzy wuzzies start causing trouble, the Queen (gawd bless er) will send a gun boat to sort them out.
Well I have news for you. Actually, you are all immigrants living in an EU country that Britain is about to leave.
Those of you who burned their boats wil find yourselves penniless and homeless, the illegals amongst you (and there are many) will be turfed out. The holiday makers will see there properties drop in value or even confiscated.
I have no idea what the other forum is Poppy or Tim but you starting this thread just about sums up what I have said.
You just cannot bear anyone to have a different viewpoint from yourselves so you have to start digging people out and ganging up on them.
Good try but I think that it may backfire.
You have driven a lot of nice people off of this forum.
Next time someone replies to a topic just think this to yourselves ...
"Is the reply a serious opposite argument to my well thought out topic
OR
Is someone winding me up because my topic was just plain stupid in the first place?"
Really, paphos people. You should all start getting out more. The sun is shinning, the Keo is cold. Enjoy it whilst you can. Take a walk, go for a swim, enjoy a conversation with your neighbours.
You never know, it may end soon.
