Onasagoras
You can accuse Fidias of many shortcomings, lack of education, knowledge, eloquence, and a few other things, but you cannot say a word against his Cypriot DNA. The man has practically never shown up to a TV appearance on time. I even know of one case where he didn’t show up at all because he got bored.
He did eventually make it to Paroutis’ show, late, naturally, but delivered what may be the most unhinged excuse a journalist has ever heard from a guest: “I was at the bank counting the money from the wedding envelopes.” Oh God have mercy.
Now what exactly do you call that? Rude? Naive? Peak village energy? Either way, the wedding of the year is finally over, and we can all move on with our lives. As for the couple’s dance, it was romantic and slightly… daring. Very Dirty Dancing. A movie that, much like Fidias’ wedding, became an instant classic. All-time classic, as we say back in the village.
On Friday, livestock farmers will once again block the Rizoelia roundabout, warning that this time their protest will be far more “dynamic”... whatever that means. I’ll repeat what I wrote before: nobody wins public sympathy by tormenting drivers and ordinary people who did absolutely nothing wrong. At this point, maybe they should just call the Hunters’ Association president to make a few phone calls and sort things out for them.
Not one, not two, not three, but five, yes, five thirteen, as we say, candidates were forced to withdraw because they were facing criminal or other legal issues. Number one in our hearts remains the livestock farmer who, after saying he wanted to give his child to the minister to raise, was later spotted chasing and attacking a referee at a football match. Something tells me the new parliament is going to deliver plenty of action. Cameras standby and… action.
President Nikos Christodoulides, Annita Demetriou, and former president Nicos Anastasiades all found themselves in the same room last night for the MAN OF THE YEAR 2025 awards. By all accounts, the atmosphere was warm, with Giorgos Kapoutzidis, Ilias Psinakis, and Panagiotis Giannakis bringing both laughter and emotion to the evening. Apparently, there were quite a few one-liners that people will be repeating for days.
And finally, Donald Trump changed his mind yet again and, for now at least, will not move ahead with “Operation Freedom,” the plan involving escorting ships through the Strait of Hormuz. Rumor has it military officials strongly pushed back against the idea, considering it far too risky. The planet collectively took a small breath of relief at the fuel pumps. At least for today. Tomorrow? God willing.
