oh yes... paiktis, i've got a question to ask you.

is there still a popular "Megali Idea" in Greece? As in, do many people think that Greece should include Constantinople, Smyrna, Cyprus, and all that? If yes, how popular is it?

I refrain from answering that question because I have returned home a little bit drunk.

I'll answer it though when I'm sober

well Greece is wealthy compared to all of its neighboors

that's because

a) it has smart people
b) it has good friends including the US and Europe

a wealrthy country has little to do with megali idea


we live good so why compromise it?


however Turkey is really provockative. She wants to redrwan the Aegean borders.

That obviously is a source of tension.

with tension comes nationalism against turkey

with nationalism comes megali idea (after all it's its child)

so there are two schools of thought in Greece


1) support the european course of Turkey
2) Turkey will never be law abiding and willing to be peaceful hence a military confrontation is the only way to deal with it.


which school takes the front sit it depends on many factors.


still in everyday life, noone cares about turks.

if the conversation gets to them though, yeah you can hear some things about kicking their butts if they keep harassing.

all in all the megali idea is a thing of the past though

as long as turkey doesn;t make it a thing of the present....

Turkey has beenoffered time and time again to go to the Hague international tribunal if she has a problem with forntiers as they are now.


she keeps refusing


turkey's goal is to intimidate Greece into succumbing.

Greece role is to keick Turkey in the ass time and time again


international law clearly justifies Greece. What does Turkey want?

Better stay faithful to international law or she will be crying over Constantinople


genocide of greeks., kurds and armenians do I need to say more?


if turkey was a democracy we couyld have a good neighboorhood.

bur since it is a military regime there will be tensions

Yes. Irish girls seem to have a tendency to be quite cute. The junior organ scholar at Emma is Irish and very cute - but taken. And to be honest, I think she could get quite nippy after a while. But yes, very cute.

Incidentally, you can take Gaelic exams in Scotland. If you take it as a foreign language they spell it Gaelic. If you take it as a native language, they spell it Gaidlaig.

not only cute, not only cute. they have a meditarenean aspect. an hellenic aspect.

did we colonize Ireland in the past too?

they are hot, and passionate and uncompromising and fiery like hellenes.

if i was not with an italian girl i would have gone for her.

she looked like a europeam meditereaniean girl.

so passionate and cute at the same time. like an hellene girl.

There is an ancient legend in Ireland; it says that the first irish inhabitants came from northern Spain (Galicia). So the spanish guys should have priority with irish girls

Natan:

"Technically speaking, it's always written in hebrew characters..."

I thought some of the modern jiddisch literature used latin characters ?

"Yakh libe tzu redn yiddish, ober es iz nisht mein mame-loshn."

I love to hear it, but I can't speak it. Yet I understand about 80-90 % of it.

"kh'rede yiddish mit mein zede, er iz fun Lodz. Es iz a mikhaye far im tzu redn yiddish mit mir."

mikhaye = pleasure or problem ?

"oon er hot zain gefilte-fish mit tzuker oon nit mit kein pfefer gekokht."

I didn't know jiddisch also has the dreaded double negation. Does it have triple and quadruple negations too ?

And don't tell me you tried that "recipe"!

Well your English is damn good for someone who is crap at languages. The only way to tell you are not English is the accent, the English itself is faultless, better than the majority of native speakers, and you can't really ask for more than that.

I do know a very small smattering of German, just one or two essential (or otherwise) phrases.

For example, I know "Ich bin gegen Ei allergisch" (assuming I got that right) - which is a vital phrase for me - and also "Ich habe drei Kaninchen", which is a pointless phrase for pretty much everyone.

I know what it meant but its a poor translation of - "Welcome the Wales" or "You cross the Wales", just curious as to what you "meant".
