Although there is a political divide between the North and South of Cyprus, No.... to my knowledge, we do not have a terrioist situation here... In almost 8 years of living here, I have certainly never had reason to worry in that respect.
By the way, came across this article from the Daily Telegraph today....
Yes, there is a meetup this month on 30th April as usual at the Evento Cafe in Larnaca.
As a Blues Brother fan I am all for your idea of a meetup at one of your gigs in Protaras or Napa (both venues are great for me). I have heard some complimentary feedback about your appearance at The Local in Dhryenia so would love to take the opportunity to catch one of your shows....
Well, as a first step....
Come on peeps, go take a look at Saxman's thread and let's have some input on what your thoughts are on his suggestion for a meetup...
Sax, could you email me details of any dates and venue you have for future shows please.... just in case I can manage to pop in and catch you and ircam one evening.....

There is a factory in Northern Minnesota which makes the Tickle Me Elmo toys. The toy laughs when you tickle it under the arms.
Well, Lena is hired at The Tickle Me Elmo factory and she reports for her first day promptly at 8:00 am.
The next day at 8:45 am there is a knock at the Personnel Manager's door. The Foreman throws open the door and begins to rant about the new employee. He complains that she is incredibly slow and the whole line is backing up, putting the entire production line behind schedule.
The Personnel Manager decides he should see this for himself, so the 2 men march down to the factory floor. When they get there the line is so backed up that there are Tickle Me Elmo's all over the factory floor and they're really beginning to pile up.
At the end of the line stands Lena surrounded by mountains of Tickle Me Elmo's. She has a roll of plush Red fabric and a huge bag of small marbles.
The 2 men watch in amazement as she cuts a little piece of fabric, wraps it around two marbles and begins to carefully sew the little package between Elmo's legs.
The Personnel Manager bursts into laughter. After several minutes of hysterics he pulls himself together and approaches Lena .
'I'm sorry,' he says to her, barely able to keep a straight face, 'but I think you misunderstood the instructions I gave you yesterday...'
John decided to go skiing with his buddy, Keith. So they loaded up John's minivan and headed north.
After driving for a few hours, they got caught in a terrible blizzard. So they pulled into a nearby farm and asked the attractive lady who answered the door if they could spend the night.
'I realize it's terrible weather out there and I have this huge house all to myself, but I'm recently widowed,' she explained. 'I'm afraid the neighbours will talk if I let you stay in my house.'
'Don't worry,' John said. 'We'll be happy to sleep in the barn. And if the weather breaks, we'll be gone at first light.' The lady agreed, and the two men found their way to the barn and settled in for the night.
Come morning, the weather had cleared, and they got on their way. They enjoyed a great weekend of skii ng. But about nine months later, John got an unexpected letter from an attorney. It took him a few minutes to figure it out, but he finally determined that it was from the attorney of that attractive widow he had met on the ski weekend.
He dropped in on his friend Keith and asked, 'Keith, do you remember that good-looking widow from the farm we stayed at on our ski holiday up north about 9 months ago?'
'Yes, I do.' Said Keith.
'Did you, er, happen to get up in the middle of the night, go up to the house and pay her a visit?'
'Well, um, yes!,' Keith said, a little embarrassed about being found out, 'I have to admit that I did.'
'And did you happen to give her my name instead of telling her your name?'
Keith's face turned beet red and he said, 'Yeah, look, I'm sorry, buddy. I'm afraid I did.' 'Why do you ask?'
'She just died and left me everything.'
(And you thought the ending would be different, didn't you?... you know you smiled...now keep that smile for the rest of the day!)
As a guitar-crazy-blues-crazy fan, I am devastated by the news of Gary's death... I adored him as one of the greatest guitar icons of our time, and was fortunate enough to see him in concert in London twice....
Rest in Peace Gary.....
"Need Your Love So Bad" (from his CD "Blues For Greeny")
This news is a very sad start to my day.... devastating!
I am crazy about the blues, guitar music, and absolutely worshipped Gary Moore as one of the greatest guitar icons. I had the privilege of seeing Gary in concert twice, and playing his CD's always gives me a lift....
Rest in Peace Gary!

Don't know how authentic this is, but thought it worth sharing....
Apparently this is a standard procedure all paramedics follow at the scene of an accident when they come across your cell phone.
We all carry our mobile phones with names & numbers stored in its memory but nobody other than ourselves knows which of these numbers belong to our closest family or friends.
If we were to be involved in an accident or were taken ill the people attending us would have our mobile phone but wouldn't know who to call. Yes there are hundreds of numbers stored but which one is the contact person in case of an emergency? Hence this 'ICE' (In Case of Emergency) Campaign.
The concept of 'ICE' is catching on quickly. It is a method of contact during emergency situations. As cell (mobile) phones are carried by the majority of the population all you need to do is store the number of a contact person or persons who should be contacted during emergency under the name 'ICE' ( In Case Of Emergency).
The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when he went to the scenes of accidents there were always mobile phones with patients but they didn't know which number to call. He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there was a nationally recognized name for this purpose. In an emergency situation Emergency Service personnel and hospital Staff would be able to quickly contact the right person by simply dialing the number you have stored as 'ICE.'
For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1 ICE2 and ICE3 etc. A great idea that will make a difference!
Let's spread the concept of ICE by storing an ICE number in our Mobile phones today!
Please forward this. It won't take too many 'forwards' before everybody will know about this. It really could save your life or put a loved one's mind at rest.
Has your avocado tree ever bourne any fruits? Reason I ask is that I have a skinny tree about 3 metres tall which I think is the result of an avocado seed I planted about 2 years ago. My gardener keeps threatening to get rid of it because it is so boring to look at, but I refuse because I'm excited at the thought that one day a little avocado might appear.... I live in hope......
