We can’t not congratulate AEK Larnaca, who became the first Cypriot team to beat an English side on their own turf, in the heart of London no less. Of course, it’s worth noting, and I’m sure Mr. Hartziotis will agree, that this victory owes a lot to imported players, just as organized crime is imported. Right, Minister?
On the European front, a new bill, pushed through by Christodoulides, slows down Turkey’s plans to grab funding from the EU SAFE program. Well done, Mr. President. Not that this will really tip the balance of power, but hey, if it works, it’s at least a win for pride. Some partners, though...we won’t name names...we don’t want to hurt feelings...don’t seem thrilled about Turkey being blocked. We’ll see how that plays out.
Meanwhile, the long arm of the law is trying to snatch up influencers who run channels on OnlyFans, where some rake in tens of thousands of euros in undeclared income. One person apparently pulled in a mind-boggling half a million euros in a year. Seriously? As my late grandmother would mutter, shaking her head, “What kind of world have we reached?” A friend of mine, still reading literature, wryly remarked that the classic line “In Moscow, my sisters, in Moscow” has been updated for the modern era: “On OnlyFans, my sisters, on OnlyFans.”
After attacks against women along Limassol’s beachfront...and the initial apathy of authorities...citizens took it upon themselves to patrol the area for safety. Citizens. Patrolling. Meanwhile, I assume the police were busy with union matters, Mr. Hartziotis? Eventually, the police did get motivated and decided to take action. That said, there was a little gripe that the publicity around the case “spoiled” their chance to catch the perpetrator in the act while he was, you know, in the middle of committing assault or murder. Perfectly logical. Police Academy: Cyprus Edition.
And then there’s Donald Trump, not Donald Duck, in case you were wondering, who demolished a historic wing of the White House (a building dating back to 1792) to build a ballroom costing $250 million. A ballroom, folks. As they say, the world’s burning, and…let’s focus on the dance floor. Just imagine if our Nikos decided to tear down a wing of the Presidential Palace...say...the western wing, which was mentioned in a recent press release, to build a dance hall. Let’s not give him any ideas.
