THE NEWSPAPER OF THE CYPRIOT COMMUNITY IN BRITAIN
Athens and Nicosiaexpect the UN Secre-tary General to be
“objective” under theauspices of his goodservices in Cyprus, GreekForeign Minister DemetrisDroutsas said on Tuesday.
Speaking to reporters aftermeeting his Cypriot counter-part Marcos Kyprianouin Nicosia, Demetris Droutsassaid that “President Christofiashas shown a very constructiveand positive stance, he hasput forward a set of very goodproposals and unfortunatelythe Turkish Cypriot leader hasnot shown the same will”.President Christofias also saidthat “we want to be clear aboutthe basis of the negotiationsand continue in this frame-work”.
Demetris Droutsas urgedAnkara to “do her part”regarding the Cyprus problem,to show that she has good willto solve the problem and thatwhat she declares is not yetanother “communication trick”on her behalf.
Referring to the protests inthe occupied areas againstTurkish policy, Droutsas saidthat the riots clearly show thatthe situation in the Turkishoccupied north of the island isnot viable and that TurkishCypriots would have beenbetter off, had they beengiven the chance to enjoy allthe benefits of the EU.
Turkish Cypriot unionistsrecently organised two rallies
against the economic policyimposed to Turkish Cypriotsby Turkey.
The Greek FM expressedhis government’s firm supportfor a viable solution in Cyprus,adding that “the Cyprus issueis the biggest challenge theCyprus government faces, itis a top priority for Athens butalso a precondition for thenormalisation of the relationsbetween my country andTurkey”.
Droutsas and Kyprianoualso discussed developmentsin Egypt, with the Greek FM
stating that “we examinedpossible initiatives we couldundertake in the framework ofthe EU”.
On his part, Kyprianou saidthat the meeting was “usefuland constructive and we hadthe chance to focus on futuredevelopments that will be ofinterest to the two countries”.
Marcos Kyprianou also saidthat the cooperation andcoordination between Cyprusand Greece is always “firm”.
Cyprus, which joined the EUin 2004, has been dividedsince 1974, when Turkey
invaded and occupied itsnorthern third. The AcquisCommunautaire is suspend-ed in the occupied areas.
The leaders of the twocommunities in Cyprus, name-ly President of the RepublicDemetris Christofias andTurkish Cypriot leader Eroglu,are currently engaged inUN-led negotiations with anaim to reunify the island.
The two leaders held ameeting with the UNSG in NewYork last November and inGeneva beginning of Febru-ary.
Greek FM urges Ankara to showconstructive stance in negotiations
Cyprus Economic growth of
approx 2.0% rate in 2011
Cyprus` economicgrowth rate will rangebetween 1.5% and
2.0% GDP in 2011, IMF pre-liminary figures releasedTuesday show.
IMF new estimates areslightly higher than the 2010forecasts projecting a 1.5% to1.8% growth for 2011. TheCypriot Finance Ministryprojects economic growth of1.5% GDP for 2011, whereasEuropean Commission fore-casts project a 1.8% growthrate for 2011.
“We see a gradual econom-ic recovery is underway andexpect growth to be in a rangeof 1.5% to 2.0% this year,”head of the IMF delegationWes McGrew said, presentingthe IMF`s preliminary conclu-sions, after a series of contactswith Central Bank officials andbankers in Cyprus, pointingout that there are risks torecovery mainly from thesovereign debt crisis in the EUand the uncertainty in theEuropean financial markets. In terms of economic policy,
McGrew said that “the fore-most challenge is to reducethe high fiscal deficits of thepast two years and to restorepublic debt ratios to a declin-ing trend.”
“This is important for vari-ous reasons. Sound publicfinances are necessary to con-tinue to be successful to be-ing a financial centre and aninternational business sectorand these we believe are keyareas for growth in Cyprus forthe medium term”, he added.
Over the medium term,McGrew said Cyprus facespressures on expendituresbecause of rising pensionspayments both in the civilservice and the social securi-ty fund and will need to meetthis by reducing expenditureselsewhere as well as byreforms in the pensionsystems and so this processreally should start now.
He also said that “swiftmovement is important” con-cerning the implementation ofCyprus` fiscal consolidationplan.
Deportation for refugeesinvolved in welfare frayInterior Minister Neoclis
Sylikiotis on Tuesdayannounced that the gov-
ernment planned to deportthe adult Palestinians whotook part in the beating of apolice officer in Larnaca lastweek at the district welfareoffice.
Cyprus had the right underrefugee law to put a halt to thesubsidiary protection of arefugee, he argued. Theminors among those accusedof participating in the violentincident between Palestinianrefugees and a police officerwill be dealt with based on thelaw relating to minors, headded.
Eleven Palestinians at Lar-naca district court on Tuesday
faced charges of causing adisturbance, attacking anofficer, causing actual bodilyharm, causing unrest, and ille-gal assembly. The casebegins on February 22. Thefive adults will remain in de-tention, while a sixth adult andfive minors, all of whom areschool pupils were releasedon bail.
The ministers of justice, in-terior and labour met on Tues-day with the head of the Pales-tinian Authority in Cyprus aswell as representatives of var-ious Palestinian organisations.“We believe that all who arehosted in Cyprus should firstrespect the laws and the statebut also the hospitality,” saidSylikiotis after the meeting.
Permanent Secretary of theMinistry of Foreign Affairs Am-bassador Nicholas Emiliou con-
tinues his contacts in Washington.An official statement said that during
the second day of his visit, Emiliou metTed Carpenter, Vice President forDefense and Foreign Policy Studies atthe Cato Institute. The Cypriot diplomatbriefed the “Helsinki Commission”, mem-bers of which are senators, members ofcongress and officials from the State,Defence and Commerce Departments.
Emiliou’s briefing concentrated on theongoing negotiations to solve the Cyprusissue and violations of human rightsresulting from the Turkish invasion andoccupation of the island’s northern third.Permanent Secretary Emiliou also met
Howard Berman, Ranking Member of theForeign Affairs Committee, JeanneShaheen, chairwoman of the Subcom-mittee on European Affairs and held ajoint meeting of the Hellenic Caucushosted by Congressman Gus Bilirakis
and Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney. He also had a meeting with Dr. ElizabethSherwood-Randall, Assistant to thePresident and Senior Director for Europe,at the National Security Council withwhom he discussed a wide range ofissues concerning bilateral relations.

On Tuesday 8th February
2011 Chair of the Cypri-
ot Women’s League and
the Cypriot Community Centre,
Susie Constantinides, widely
known among the community in
Britain and in Cyprus, was
honoured with an MBE by Prince
Charles at Buckingham Palace,
for her exceptional and hard
working contributions to the
Cypriot community and for many
other various work.
In the evening an event was
also held to honour Susie’ M.B.E
at the Cypriot Community
Centre, Earlham Grove, N22 5HJ.
The event was well attended by
the Cypriot community in Lon-
don and many other distinguished
guests within the community.
The evening was opened by the
manager of the Cypriot Commu-
nity Centre Christodoulous
Stylianou, he said:
“ I would like to welcome you
all to the Cypriot Community
Centre to celebrate Susie’s hon-
our as an MBE. She received her
honour this morning from the
Queen at Buckingham Palace.
We take this opportunity to
also express our warmest con-
gratulations to the other two
Cypriots, Nitsa Sergides the Head
Teacher of Grafton Primary
School and Andrew Georgios
Andreou, Executive Assistant,
Universities and Skills Group,
Department for Business, Inno-
vation and Skills for the awards
by the Queen for their services in
their own field.
“All us here tonight, we extend
a special welcome to Susie’s first
cousins and their wives from
Tseri, Cyprus – Sofoklis, Koula,
Basos and Eleni, representing the
family in Tseri, Susie’s god-daugh-
ter Katherine, Mimi’s god-daugh-
ter, Anna and Koumbarous and
very old friends Andrew and Lou,
school friend Margaret and her
husband David.
“We extend a special welcome
to the wife of Member of Parlia-
ment Andy Love, our Local Cllrs
as well. The President of the
National Federation of Cypriots
in UK Peter Droussiotis, and the
rest of his colleagues at the
Federation, the Chair and others
friends from The Cyprus Turkish
Association for Democracy.The
majority of us here tonight
represent more or less all the
Cypriot Organisations of Cypriot
in Britain Greek and Turkish
Media, Kyriacos Tsoupras of
KYPE and Bambos Charalam-
bous of Parikiaki.
“Susie’s grandfather on her
mother’s side was from Chios and
was a Captain in the Greek Navy.
His ship was torpedoed by the
Germans in the 1st World War
and he died soon after. As they
had a house in Alexandria, Egypt,
her grandmother, who was from
Scala, Larnaca, took the children
to Alexandria and Susie’s mother
Artemis grew up in a cosmopoli-
tan community. Artemis was
well-educated, speaking, reading
and writing Greek, French, Ital-
ian, English and Arabic. Susie’s
father’s family are all from Tseri,
Nicosia. Her father, Charalambos
was also well-educated. He spoke
and wrote fluent English, spoke
Turkish and was well-respected
as a policeman. They married in
1935 and, in 1938, in order for
Charalambos to follow a new
career in engineering; they came
to England with baby Mimi, who
was born in 1937. They lived in
the house in Hornsey where Susie
still lives.
“When war was declared in
September 1939, Charalambos
was sent to Corby, Northants to
work on armaments. In the
evening he was a soldier in the
Home Guard. His inventions were
so imaginative, that he was sent
many times to London to the War
Office to share these with them.
Because of Artemis’s fluency in
languages, the BBC requested her
to join them but, as Mimi was still
little, they were evacuated up to
Kettering, Northants to join Char-
alambos, which is where Susie was
born in 1940. The war years were
spent there.
“In 1945, the family moved
back to Hornsey where both Mi-
mi and Susie attended North Har-
ringay Infants and Junior School.
As a young woman and later as a
mature student Susie studied at
the universities of London, Sor-
bonne, Middlesex, North London,
studying history and languages.
The first project she identified was
the need for a fourth advice bu-
reau in Haringey and one which
would have Greek and Turkish
speaking advice officers and this
was proposed for Turnpike Lane.
“Sadly, in 1970, Mimi and
Susie’s Mother had a stroke and,
within two days, their Father died
of a heart attack. “It was at this
stage that I got to know Susie.
However, I got to know her a lot
better when we worked together
during and after the coup in
Cyprus in 1974 and subsequent
invasion by Turkey. On the first
day of the invasion and following
weeks, Susie realised that refugees
would probably mainly head for
Haringey which then had the
largest concentration of Cypriots
outside Cyprus. She initiated a
meeting and co-ordinated a com-
mittee of the Leader of the Coun-
cil, the Chief Executive, the Coun-
cillors who were Chairs and Chief
Officers of the main Committees,
e.g. Social Services, Education,
the then MPs for Tottenham and
Hornsey, Norman Atkinson and
Hugh Rossi and Cypriot commu-
nity leaders. “Susie was the heart
and soul of the committee and
worked day and night to create
services and help the refugees, ex-
amples of which are as follows-.
*A temporary Advice Bureau
was set up in a Haringey Council
property in Wood Green, manned
by Susie and the three Managers
of the advice bureaux of Hornsey,
Wood Green and Tottenham.
*Susie worked with the Edu-
cation Department to accept 600
refugee children into the schools
immediately and worked with
Central Government.
*She pursued Accommodation
and Employment for the refugees
and worked closely with the
Cypriot community organisations.
“As Cypriot Liaison Officer,
Susie represented both the Cypri-
ot Community and Haringey
Council and worked closely with
both.Simultaneously, there was
work to be done liaising with the
Home Office and this was carried
out with colleagues from Cam-
den, Hackney and Islington. In
1976, when requesting that Cypri-
ot refugees should not be sent
back to Cyprus, the Home Office
agreed that they would accept a
report from Susie as to the con-
ditions and plight of the refugees
in Cyprus. She went to Cyprus
with camera in hand and her
report was accepted. Therefore,
the refugees were not sent back.
“In 1980, Susie diplomatically
convinced the Home Office to
grant the refugees “Indefinite
Leave to Stay. Over the years,
Susie contributed to legislation by
injecting equality at Select Com-
mittees. She particularly took part
in discussions before the Nation-
ality Act to ensure that women
were treated equally. On behalf
of Haringey Council, she was
also part of the committee which
introduced “ethnic categories”
into the National Census.
“She also set up many services
and created posts both within
Education and Social Services to
meet needs for the Cypriot com-
munity which, hitherto, had not
been recognised or met. As we
do, Susie also believes in the im-
portance of working with the com-
munity organisations to work for
the common good. The idea of
bringing together 9 Greek-Cypri-
ot and 3 Turkish-Cypriot organi-
sations – representing culture, ed-
ucation, youth and women, to
form the Association of Cypriot
Organisations in Haringey was
mutually discussed by Mimi and
Susie. As a result of this Steering
Committee’s work, which was co-
ordinated by Susie, Haringey
Council acknowledged the need
for a Cypriot Community Centre
that would help Cypriot organi-
sations and the residents of
Haringey. This was achieved in
the late 70s when this old school
building was found and later, in
1982, when the inauguration of
the Cypriot Community Centre
became a reality.
“Since its inception, the Cypri-
ot Community Centre has pro-
vided services not just for Cypri-
ots of all backgrounds, but also
for all residents of Haringey as
well as for many neighbouring
Councils. As the Manager/Co-or-
dinator of the Centre, I have
worked closely with both Mimi
and Susie for 30 years. Mimi was
our excellent Treasurer and, at
one point, Chair. Susie was our
Consultant whilst she was an Of-
ficer of Haringey Council and has,
for many years, been our Chair
since her retirement from the
Council.
“Another of Susie’s projects
was the setting up of the Cypriot
Elderly & Disabled Group, based
at the Cypriot Centre, which, over
the years, has been developed by
John Constantinou, Service
Manager and his staff, into the
excellent day care service that it
is today. Susie continues to work
with the CEDG. Soon after her
retirement from Haringey Coun-
cil, Susie was elected Chair of
Cypriot Women’s League, one of
the oldest Cypriot organisations
in the UK, established in 1952 by
Maritsa Tsioupra and other
colleagues. Susie has led the
organisation in campaigning for
women’s equality, family and
community stability, educational
and social issues, etc. in both the
UK and in Europe. For many
years, Susie has also been an Ex-
ecutive Member of the National
Federation of Cypriots in the UK,
working cohesively with the oth-
er Members who represent both
the political parties and commu-
nity organisations in order to
achieve a just solution for Cyprus.
“The Cypriot Community Cen-
tre has been functioning success-
fully for 30 years and its services
and work are well known within
the Cypriot community, Haringey
and neighbouring Councils, to
local MPs, Ministers as well as to
the Cyprus High Commission and
to the People of Cyprus. Susie
has been a central figure in this
success. Susie’s loving parents and
her sister Mimi were a wonderful
influence on Susie. Their parents
instilled love for their origins and
also their adopted country, giving
stability and balance to both of
them. Susie also enjoys a close
and loving relationship with her
cousins.
“Susie and I have enjoyed a
very close working and family re-
lationship for all these years. We
also believe in working together
and not in isolation to achieve the
best outcomes for the common
good. Susie is extremely well-
known, respected and liked in the
Cypriot community and in
Cyprus. She is one of the kindest
and most generous people I know.
She is known as someone who al-
ways has a smile and kind word
for everyone, never complains,
has a positive and optimistic out-
look on life. She also has bound-
less patience.
“Although she has passed the
age of retirement!, she is still
working as a vibrant, energetic
and committed full-time volun-
teer and is the best example of
someone whose first thought,
courage and desire to help others
is truly exceptional. Susie,
together, we proudly acknowledge
your achievement as an MBE.”
In turn a short speech read by the
Aliki Paschali, on behalf of the
High Commissioner Alexandros
N. Zenon, who had other com-
mitments, where she honoured
Susie services within the commu-
nity.
In her short speech Susie was
overwhelmed by the love and
support of the people present and
thanked everyone for making the
effort in being there to celebrate
her achievement.
“I would like to thank you all
for being here with me today and
sharing this momentous day, you
are like my big family and I feel
privileged to be receiving this
award” She said full of emotion.
After the speeches, Plaques
were awarded to Susie by the
Cypriot Community Centre, The
Cypriots Women’s League and
AKEL in Britain. The evening
ended with everyone enjoying a
delightful buffet with excellent
music provided by Elias
Maronides and Mimis Nicolaides.

Hitchcock SatireComes to London Stage
Peter Fabian is asking for help to locate his Greek Cypriot father, whom he has never met. He
doesn’t know his father’s name nor whether or not he is still alive.
Peter was born in 1960 in Germany, where he lives today. His mother Lydia Common, now seriously
ill, revealed to Peter that his father is a Greek Cypriot, whom she had met in London in 1959. She was
an au pair for a theatrical family called McCloud, based in Hampstead Heath and consequently in
Lissenden Gardens. His father worked in a club-restaurant.

The ‘Other’ in Contemporary Greek FictionOn Friday 11th February a sizeable
group of Greeks and Othersgathered in the Great Hall of the
Hellenic Centre for a discussion (inEnglish) on how ethnic, cultural, religiousor gendered ‘otherness’ is handled incontemporary Greek fiction.
The panel was an illustrious mix ofwriters, critics and academics, comprisingMikela Chartoulari (literary editor atGreece’s Ta Nea), Angela Dimitrakaki(University of Edinburgh), the Athens-based author Theodoros Grigoriadisand Dimitra Kolliakou (Université Paris,Diderot-Paris 7). Our chair was Dr EleniYiannakakis (University of Oxford). Allare prolific authors of fiction (in Greek);all are personally and professionallyabsorbed by the idea of ‘the other.’
Dr Yiannakakis opened by asking:“Why talk about ‘otherness’ at all?” Thequestion is pertinent for Greeks livingoutside Greece, as three of the fivepanellists currently do, and they admittedto feeling culturally ‘other’ some if not allof the time. Possibly the most famouswork of literature in Greek, The Odyssey,is all about one man’s pain and longingto get home (nostalgia), and thefrightening others he encounters alongthe way. When Dr Yiannakakis posed the
question: “Is Greek society changing?”the response was “Yes”, albeit with asense of “Not fast enough, though!”
After reading excerpts from a cross-section of their novels–giving the audiencea taste of what is out there in thecontemporary Greek canon–our panelsettled down to the debate. The first topicfor discussion was whether ‘the other’features more prominently in Greekliterature now than at other times inhistory. There was broad agreement that‘otherness’ is not more prevalent now,although the opposite seems to be true:the reason for this, as Angela Dimitrakakipointed out, is that ‘the other’ is now “in”–critics love to talk about it.
There was heated debate over whetherwriters are being forced to accommodate‘the other’ as a gesture of polit ical
commitment. Theodoros Grigoriadis saidwryly that he hoped not, otherwise we’dbe saddled with socialist-realism. MikelaChartoulari defended the author’s rightto choose what they represent; but saidthat it depended on context. Dimitrakakihighlighted the need for defining “newparameters” in discussions of ‘otherness.’
So why don’t we see more modern andcontemporary Greek fiction in ourbookshops? The rot is both inside andoutside Greece, according to our experts.With a literary establishment that isvehemently conservative, publishers areunwilling to promote progressive workswhich consequently evade translation andthe attention of international publishinghouses. Grigoriadis thinks the Greekpublic has bad reading habits (but oh,how many authors have said that of theircountrymen!). Whether or not that is true,bringing Greek novelists to the world’sattention will be an exhausting, if not arewarding, process. Websites like theexcellent www.WordsWithoutBorders.org(where you can read an excerpt fromDimitrakaki’s controversial novel) will playtheir part, as will the cultural ambassadorswe heard on Friday. I can’t wait to seewhat happens next.

Being an Islandwhich has continued to attracta wealth of tourists over theyears, a variety of coacheshave graced the roads ofJersey, offering tours andexcursion as and whenrequired throughout thecoaching season which,typically, would run from Mayuntil September.
The mid-nineteenth centurysaw several horse-drawnexcursion ‘cars’ begin tooperate, offering daily tripsaround the Island. Touroperator Paragon was the firstto introduce a motorisedservice in the 1920s and theywere followed by Tantivy whostill operate today, havingamalgamated several coachoperators over the years.Within a decade, there weremany char-a-banc operatorsin Jersey, operating practicallyevery type of chassis availableat that time. Several hotelsowned their own coaches fora time with mailbaotpassengers being met uponarrival and transported to theiraccommodation. In July 1940,
the Occupation of Jersey byGerman forces put an end tocoaches being used for civilianpurposes and they were putto use conveying Germantroops to attend various eventsaround the Island instead.
Many were eventually takento the Continent to be brokenup and used as scrap, leadingsadly to a temporary depletionof the local fleets. However,after the Occupation, coachoperators began to buy up any
chassis that became availablewith the first new coaches toarrive in Jersey being twoBedford Vistas. The four mostprevalent types were Vista,Vega, Commer Commandoand the Commer Avengeralthough several otherchassis-types remained inservice for some time.

HOUSE-SWAPPERSFORGETFUL OVER
INSURANCE
House-swapping as analternative to the traditionalfamily holiday looks set to takeoff this year, according to newresearch from Lloyds TSBInsurance.
A recent study suggests that1.6 mil l ion Britons havearranged a house swap in2011, twice the numberestimated for 2010.
However, Lloyd’s suggeststhat proper planning isneeded, particularly in the areaof potential damage toproperty or possessions by theincomers.
Almost two-thirds of house-swappers questioned had runthe risk of invalidating theirhome insurance policy byfailing to tell their insurer aboutthe exchange.
Furthermore, nearly aquarter of house-swapper
respondents returned to adamaged property, withLloyds TSB Insuranceestimating the 2011 cost ofswapper-damage at over £100million.
Homeowners are thereforeurged to notify their insurerbefore embarking on a house-swap, and to register with areputable house-swap websiteto reduce the risk of anyunwelcome exchanges

Justin Bieber promotes CharityChart topping singles, television appearances, a Vanity Fair coverand an upcoming movie about his life called Never Say Never. Now,this award winning breakthrough artist has taken time out of his verybusy schedule to front a campaign. Bieber has starred in a second public service announcement forPETA (encouraging people to adopt animals from shelters insteadof buying them from breeders or pet stores). Every year, six to eightmillion abandoned dogs and cats enter animal shelters and sadly,half have to be put down because of a lack of homes.Justin’s announcement reads “Animals Can Make U Smile”.
X-Factor 3million ContractSimon cowell has revealed that the winner of the X-Factor showin America will get a record deal worth more than £3million.He has explained that the prize money is separate to the costsof recording and promotion, meaning that the winner will still getto keep the cash even if they don’t sell any records.TV bosses have hired Cheryl Cole to be alongside Simon,though it hasn’t been confirmed as to who else will be on the judging panel.Cowell has said: “It’s a pressure, because if the wrong person wins, I’m in trouble...but Ibelieve I can find a star.”The auditions kick off on the 27th of March in Los Angeles, with the show due to hit our TVscreens in autumn.

Swan Lake - Royal Opera HouseSwan Lake is one of the most famous and loved of allworks in the world of theatre and ballet. With the instantlyrecognisable music of Tchaikovsky, be dazzled by thewonderfully dark story of good set against evil. I’ve been to see it this week and I would highlyrecommend it! (The show is running for a few moremonths so I will be writing a review in my next column!)
I actually don’t do politics.I feel that when I class myselfwith one political side I some-how ‘exclude’ all other people,which goes against mypersonal beliefs. I do notbelieve in segregating myselfto one particular party orpolitical view, as that puts mein a box and excludes allother ideas. My fellow humanbeing is more important to methan any political view I mayhold. I find that when I am inCyprus their views are sounmoving, so solid that theycan never be flexible to otherideas or solutions.
The Cypriots speak in‘political tongue’ and every-thing in their world is politicsor football. If I wanted to sup-port a local team from Nicosia,say, then I will have to supportthat teams political views too,which is totally alien to me.Why should a bunch of menkicking around a ball repre-sent politics? It’s absurd, inmy opinion. I wil l neverunderstand those people whogo through life trying to inflicttheir political views on otherpeople and when they fail theyare disgusted in the otherperson. Instead they shouldaccept that all people have theright to think what they want.Unless there is an extremecase of racism or political view,such as Hitler then I can un-derstand that they should beignored and in most casessilenced, but when it is a littlebit greyer than that we shouldjust nod and say vivre ladifference. Is it so hard to do?
TALKING OF POLITICSFOR ONCE
It is surprising to read thatthe son of former hardlinerTurkish Cypriot leader RaufDenktash, Serdar Denktashhas joined a wave of TurkishCypriot resentment againstAnkara by setting up campoutside the Turkish ‘embassy’in north Nicosia. The idea ofsuch a protest is totallyunprecedented for Denktash,who, l ike his father,always supported greaterintegration with the ‘TurkishMotherland’.
Now though, Turkish Cypri-ot feeling of bitterness towardsthe newly appointed ‘Ambas-sador’ Mr. Akca, has movedthe younger Denktash intoaction. Mr. Akca was quotedas saying that ‘the TurkishCypriots are ungrateful for thehelp that the Turkish mainlandhas given them’ and that theTurkish Cypriots ‘should bepunished for overspending atAnkara’s expense’.Oh dear,no wonder the Turkish Cypri-ots are angry. They feel thatthey are being pushed out. Ifind it extremely brave that theTurkish Cypriots are demon-strating against the might ofAnkara, but I am also surprisedthat it took this long to do it!

I’M LOSING MY MIND
I ’m so tired that when Ipicked up my house phonethis morning I answered‘Greek City’. It was my son soit was at least someone whounderstood that I was gettingold! cannot believe how muchI am forgetting. I had a longconversation with someone,again at my home, and I couldnot for the life of me remem-ber who the hell she was! Imean that is bad.
I forget names and places,but now I’m forgetting evenmore. How does one dealwith this? I am so busy that Isay it is because I have too
much to do and cannot takeany more information onboard. But I do not think it isthat, I think it is the process ofgetting on in years and it assimple as that. I struggle toremember things that just haveto be done and I leave thingsand remember about them inthe middle of the night. I amso pleased that I am neither alawyer nor a brain surgeon,because these are not lifechanging or life threateningthings. I write things downonly to forget to read mynotes. I note things in my dairy,but again forget to look at it. Iask people to send me emailsto remind me of what theyhave ordered.
So what does everyone elsedo, there must be some of youin the same position and Iwould love to hear what youdo to remember things. So Ilook forward to hearing fromyou. So if I forget your name,forgive me I’m not being rudeI simply have not got storagespace any more in this littlebrain of mine.
I look forward to hearingyour stories as always abouta subject I have brought up inmy column. See you all nextweek.

Simon Pegg and NickFrost’s ambitious followup to their “Shawn of the
Dead” and “Hot Fuzz” takesthem to America in this en-dearing tribute to “Close En-counters of the Third Kind”and “E.T”.
They play Graeme Willy andClive Collins, two geeks whowhile on a trip to America for asci-fi convention they en-counter Paul (voiced by SethRogen), an alien as he tries toescape from a top secret mil-itary base. Federal agents arein pursuit thus the chasebegins; meanwhile the twogeeks try to help their newfriend find his mothership…Greg Mottola’s directionkeeps the action flowing in thisinventive and likable comedybut the script needs moregags to make this a truly fun-ny experience. Pegg and Frostwork well together as usual butit is the women here who havethe better parts.
Sigourney Weaver addsclass while Kristen Wiig is ter-rific as Ruth, the unwilling pas-senger whom they acciden-tally kidnap. But it is BlytheDanner who nearly steals theshow as Paul’s love interest.
Day For Night (La
Nuit Americane)
This is one of my favouriteFrancois Truffaut’s films andis screening at selected cine-mas around the country andas part of a complete retro-spective of his work at the BFISouthbank.Truffaut also actsas a celebrated film directoras he begins shooting hislatest f i lm called “MeetPamela” in Nice.
He waits for his Americanstar to arrive (JacquelineBisset) while his leading actorwho plays Alphonse (JeanPierre Leaud) is havingamorous problems on the set.It is a terrific film which notonly exposes the mysterybehind filmmaking but is alsoa labour of love on his craft. Itis a hugely enjoyable film andshould be definitely experi-enced on the big screen.
Try and see “Silken Skin”,
which is also included in theseason, before you see thisand look out for the hilariousscene involving a cat which isalso repeated here.
Poor Wee Me
Simon Powell’s impressiveindependent feature is cur-rently screening at selectedcinemas around the countrywith a forthcoming one at theRiverside Studios in May. The action takes place inSalford and follows the storyof Gavin (Paul Hurstfield), ahard working middle agedman whose l i fe takes anunexpected turn when he issuddenly made redundant. Hisviolent nature forces his part-ner to leave him but makes animpression to a ruthless debtcollector Gabriel De Souza(Tim Booth) who offers him ajob. But Gavin is determinedto improve himself by teach-ing himself to read and by at-tending anger managementcounselling… The acting isvery strong with Hurstfieldevoking just the right balancebetween anger and vulnera-bility.
His pairing with AnthonyCrank as his sidekick Jimmyworks tremendously well whileBooth makes a suitably slimydebt collector. The mood ofthe film is certainly down beatand there are perhaps far toomany counselling sessions’scenes but it is definitely worthdiscovering. Try and catch itat the Riverside Studios in Mayif you can.
BY JEEVES
Landor Theatre
I t is always a pleasuregoing to the Landor Theatre;the pub is pleasant, the food is
good and the standard of theshows quite high, consideringthe average budget spent onthem. “By Jeeves” has hadeverything but the kitchen sinkthrown at it by an outside com-pany boasting eight produc-ers, a cast of 10 and a bandof four. Originally produced inthe 70’s and revived in the90’s, this is clearly anotherattempt to make a success ofa show written by AndrewLloyd Webber and Alan Ayck-bourn that was never the bighit that it promised to be.
The result is very good butfar from a hit. The problem isthe premise; Bertie Wooster(Kevin Trainor) is doing a showfor a local fund-raising eventand his banjo goes missing.His butler Jeeves (Paul M.Meston) arranges for a newbanjo to be delivered whileBertie must fill in until it arrives.This ever-so-thin material of ashow would be hard enoughat the best of times, but here itis taken so casually by the castthat it becomes a series ofturns around a fairly silly storyline. That said, there is a ter-rific performance by KevinTrainor) as Wooster that holdswhat is left of the narrative.Andrew Wright’s choreogra-phy is also superb andcertainly makes watchable theinevitable Lloyd Webberromantic song “Half aMoment” (aka Memories,Don’t Cry for Me et al) andalso very funny. The cast workhard, the band sounds greatand it is an enjoyable night out.
Plays until the 5th of March.Box office 020 7737 7276
COMPANY
Southwark Playhouse
Stephen Sondheim’sbe-loved 70’s musical isgiven an eloquent revival byJoe Fredericks for MokitaGritProductions in association withSouthwark Playhouse. Theflexible space of this newvenue is well used by Freder-icks who has assembled atalented ensemble of actors.
It is Bobby’s (Rupert Young)35th birthday and it is time foran early mid-life crisis espe-cially now that all his friendsare desperate to see him getmarried. But as Bobby movesfrom one married couple to thenext his decision to staysingle becomes perhaps evenstronger. It is all in Bobby’smind of course and GeorgeFurth’s clever book paints anaccurate picture about mod-ern marriage and relation-ships. Well modern is meantto be 70’s but Fredericks hastransported the action to nowwhere mobile phones andreferences about smoking inrestaurants sit uncomfortablyin the script. But the showbelongs to Sondheim’smagical music and lyrics andthe actors sing their little heartsout with enough energy andenthusiasm that is highlyinfectious. There are enoughSondheim’s favourites tosatisfy most tastes here but ahighlight is definitely CassidyJanson’s tremendous rendi-tion of the show stoppingnumber “Getting MarriedToday”. Janson’s is totallyfocused as the fragile Amy –she is funny as well as touch-ing as the bride with secondthoughts about her wedding.Another highlight is “YouCould Drive a Girl Crazy” sungbeautifully by Michelle Bishop,Katie Brayben and Poppy Roeas Bobby’s ex lovers. Ofcourse there is the ever pop-ular “Side by Side by Side”which gives choreographerSam Spencer-Lane theopportunity to stage someexciting routines.
However, Mike Robertson’scold lighting devoid of anycolour gives a clinical feel tothe set and prevents theaudience from warming up tothe characters particularly toBobby. But overall this is aworthy revival and is verymuch worth seeing.
Plays until the 12th March.Box office 020 7407 0234
There’s no denying it, be you sceptic or believer, theenvironment, climate change, global warming et al isan issue that will not go away. So when Tony Blair, as
the then prime minister, declared that it is more of a threat tocivilisation than terrorism, it pushed the debate much furtherup the political agenda. So right now whichever way you turnthere are an eclectic range of arts projects exploring these verymatters be drama, documentary or even art installation.Being a touch green on it all I was looking forward to atheatrical education that would finally turn me into arecycling junkie and an advocate of all things organic andcool...ing.
The evening started well. My carbon footprint was minimalas I walked across the river to the Southbank and drank a cupof Fairtrade coffee in a recyclable cup. The Lyttelton Theatrefoyer was, as ever, very warm and welcoming, live jazz andlots of intellectual discourse. However, my eye was drawnto a young man with a microphone interviewing an elderlycouple. He was asking for their views on all of the aboveand more and was keen to talk to them again once they hadseen Greenland, co-authored by Moira Buffini, MattCharman, Penelope Skinner and Jack Thorne, and directedby National Theatre newbie Bijan Shelbani.
The basic premise for the production is to ask the question“What on Earth Is Happening to Our Planet”? In truth,having been emotionally and psychologically battered fortwo hours (no interval) I wasn’t sure I really cared, evenallowing for the appearance of a gorgeous polar bear. Itelegantly lopes into a scene of garrulous geographers onthe Arctic, has a little look around and then wanders offequally elegantly in an ursine kind of way, all for noapparent reason. Yet it is these unexplained and almostsurreal moments that have as much meaning and impact asthe loud and colourful agit prop barraging that we aresometimes subjected to.
It is though quite a spectacle with Bunny Christie’s designsbringing a real sense of shock and awe to your visual andaural sensibilities. She displays a creative alacrity that is ascommendable as it is impressive responding as she must toa plethora of plots and sub-plots. One of the mainprotagonists Lisa, a suited and booted career girl has aPauline moment on the road to the top and is suddenlytransformed into an eco-warrior which almost trashes herrelationship with beau and kin. Just as we ponder thispredicament we are catapulted into the life of a young wouldbe Oxbridge scientist now turned activist yet anotherDamascene conversion.
My companion for the evening is, in her own words, “along time social activist”, and she recognised many of thegoings on, such as the intense lobbying, inappropriatesexual liaisons, a male scientist and a female MP end up inthe sack while working at the UN for a week, which soundslike there is enough drama here to keep you engaged.Unfortunately no sooner do we begin to take an interest inthem and their varying foibles, obsessions and indiscretionsthen we are hauled back into the world of polemic and areonce again bombarded with facts, most of which areimpossible to digest as they rain upon you in a flash flood ofnumbers.Wear a rain mac is my advice.
If the purpose of the ‘play’ is to make you think longer anddeeper about all things Green then it is a resoundingsuccess, witness the business round microphone man afterit was over. I myself was exhausted and longed to wander offwith the polar bear to hunt for fish and then lie on my backall day until the next feed. Last word belongs to mycompanion – “It was wild”.

Dubbing the Petrelis track‘my big fat Greekwedding escape’. The
massive hit Thelo Kai TaPathaino features beautiful
brides and his ‘girl-friend’ inthe pop video. ThanosPetrelis cast the naïve, un-lucky soul, who’s susceptibleto grabbing the ‘wrong girl’.
Will he ever learn from hismistakes? Despite Petrelis’woes, the song feels good. In103.3% Petrelis style, upbeatcatchy laiko and lively vocal,reinforces a hit under his beltwith superb hit-maker Foivos.
“It’s my fault I’m suffering, Ido the same mistakes all thetime but I never learn (fromthem)”. Why does he fall forthe wrong person? Petrelis,sorry ladies! In real life thesinger has marital bliss withSofia Moschopoulou and twochildren Agapi and Silia.
