Our adventures in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus continue....

Want to hear a funny?

We have friends, Richard and Nancy, who own a couple of villas up in Arapkoy. These have not yet been lived in so Richard is busy doing one up for themselves. We had quoted him for air conditioning and he had asked if we knew a builder who could help out with some things. We took Chris & Bob up there to introduce them.

For some time Richard has been using a couple of guys from Pakistan as sort of labourers to do jobs for him. He told us that he asked them to go up on the roof of one villa and replace two roof tiles, but to get the pigeons out first. When he came back to them they said they had done the job. When he asked if there were many pigeons, they said about 20 in total and as they eat pigeon as part of their diet they had put them in the utility room for safe keeping. You would not believe how many feathers and how much crap you could find in a room in a short time.

I guess these two, whom Richard calls Hinge & Bracket, may not be working for him much longer, or at least only until after they have cleaned the room out.
