Ewwwwww and Ewwwwww again! I know! I thought he was meant to campaign against sex tourism as well! I have this hideous vision of him in shorts, and sandals with socks, puffing out his belly and flicking the remains of his hair behind his ears...

I had a Greek friend who was very pretty - her parents own a nice hotel on Crete too; €14 a night for a double room, half an hour's bus ride from the touristy areas, so it's nice and quiet but not isolated. Might have to take some time out to go visit, come to think of it... Well, that's good! Did she have an unspeakably cool name? Athina Baladino, if I recall correctly - the surname was something very similar to that, at any rate. It's through her that I learnt my select few Greek phrases! The two I best remember are (copy and paste into MS Word, then change the font to 'symbol'): Geia sou ("wi-a so-o"; 'hello') Phgaine na deiV an ercomai ("pi-we-ne na di-is an er-(h)o-mai"; basically 'bugger off'). I also recall that if you wanted to challenge someone to fight you (think along the lines of 'fucking come on then!'), you use 'se prokalw na palepseis' - I think I'll be keeping that one unused if I visit though She was another fine example of a foreign friend speaking better English than many of my English friends (The Dutch, the Greek, the Latvians...)

Right lovely people I'm off home to do wifely duties which involves nagging and denying sex. See you all on the morrow

Oooh, pretty and named after the Goddess of Wisdom! Cool! yeah it's not hugely different to ancient Greek - that means almost literally "I call you forward for a beating" (or I summon you for a beating) Yes, tis generally the way... oh well...

The rather motivational track " you can do it (put your back into it)" which explains both my inaccuracy and her displeasure.
