Today’s storm has deposited 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) of rain so far and still does not look as if it is stopping.

A neighbour’s drive has similarly collapsed because the foundations are being washed away. Apparently the Oram’s villa has been washed onto a piece of land not owned by Mr A and the area around the Gönyeli dam is meters under water. They are evacuating people as I write.

K, how about these UK statistics?[img]http://www.northcyprusfreepress.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/electorate-1.jpg[/img]
- in Cyprus Today – 24/4/2010
K, having analysed the stats they show that 20,433 more people in 2010 registered to vote than did in 2005. In order to evaluate these stats you would need extra information, e.g. the number of adults eligible to vote in 2005 and 2010. Another fact is that in 2010, 40 000 people more than in 2005 voted for Eroglu.Obviously someone with a bias would prefer to read something into these figures. What’s your favourite conspiracy theory, K? The man in the grassy knoll was released from area 51 in order to use kinetic abilities to place 20 000 x’s on north Cyprus voting papers?
- EU president Barroso on the joint statement made by The Two Presidents
YS, so YOU don’t recognise the TRNC because it… doesn’t exist? How can you not recognise something unless it exists. You have to recognise it in order to not recognise it… and so on. How comes all these countries are negotiating with the TRNC? They are even giving it money, the EU €259m. How can they give this money to something that doesn’t exist? How will the auditors explain this away?The TRNC exists by virtue of the fact that it hasn’t gone away. Its self-declaration is gaining strength because its enemies have not been able to make it disappear. That’s the way that non-existent things become recognised. The TRNC is to Turkish Cypriots what Israel is to Jews.
- EU president Barroso on the joint statement made by The Two Presidents
YS, old bean, begging your pardon but what is it that YOU don’t recognise? - Wishful thinking or outright deception?
G’R, the article is mainly about politicians and their websites and not the integrity of the Turkish press. Robin does not refer to the Turkish press although he does mention Cyprus Today which is a Cypriot newspaper. You are right of course to always check articles as NCFP have done and that is why they are questioning these statements coming out just before the election. I remember the GC media carrying messages from president Papadopolous in April 2004 just before the referendum:“Mr Annan singled out the Cypriot leader for criticism in his comments, saying Mr Papadopoulos had not accurately explained the contents of the plan to his people in a key television address.” (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/3773841.stm)
Seems like you need your head examined if you rely on Greek Cypriot presidents.

Why is it that so many builders fail to recognise that the
pre requisite of a roof is that it be water tight.

Malcolm I know buckets and towels everwhere!!!!!!
At least we are prepared for snow though!
you’ve got rain, we’ve got blizzards, rain, floods and some landslides, think of those poor people in madeira last week, i wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy, would you!
I am getting very concerned, my neighbour is building something that looks like an ark!!!
Still emptying buckets and wringing out towels – is it ever
going to stop.

Oh Malcolm you are a one – I’m the other one.
I’m still laughing about the Orams villa!!
oh, behave Polly!
Damn this global worming.. My parents 25year-old house on the South floated as well just before this christmas. This is the first time since it was builded such a thing occurred. The Government gave us 10.000 euros but we are thinking on suing them. We filed a complain and asked for measures to be taken even though the area had infrastructure. 2 months later they came and builded new wells from one side of the street across the other and connected them to the sewer.. Todays rain did not affected us, (thank god..)
I’m still trying to imagine the size of those global worms….
Ian Depends on whether theyre tape, cotton or thread worms.
bum bum – I think thats where they make for!!
You may think i am crazy but its true people! its not the sun! there is a giant worm that is messing up the weather!

Kyriacos, If you get up really early you might catch that naughty
worm – the early bird catches the worm.
Thanks for the picture – when mother nature shows her power, it makes us feel so insignificant
indeed
This is turning into a “Water Log” switch the sun back on please.

Might as well wring all we can out of this subject!
