You find all the information you need to know on that site, events, phone numbers, etc. Also there is a contact number , so if you give them a quick call, then can send you a monthly newletter on all their events and book and film reveiws, etc. Plus all the info about the film festival! That is free, but to use any of their facilities at the centre, for example their library, there is a small anual memebrship fee.

hello Samjan (from where in London? I'm from Edmonton) it's www.caia.org.uk [ May 25, 2002, 04:01 AM: Message edited by: Kazza ]

Theyre both pretty gorgeous, they make a good couple! Doesn't matter that they are different species or anything...Love will conquer all!

Such events are very important for the international prestige of our country, if we keep ignoring it how do we expect anyone have interest in travelling to Armenia as a tourist for example. I think they should have sent Shooshan Petrossian with her song "Hayastan" and we would have beated everyone )) Nice site by the way: http://www.eurovision.tv/ I think that's more of a blassing than an insult! i think any of the arm singers would be embarrased to be seen in the eurovision!

It seems that a note with a national flag was left at the bombing site. London police will not divulge to the newsmedia or anyone else the nation to which the flag belongs. It s probably the Turkish or Azeri flag. Why are the Brits so afraid of anything having to do with Armenians being attacked? On the surface it is their reliance on Turkey in the Middle East in regards to a possible war against Iraq. Undeneath, it is the fact that the Brits are holding all the loot of the Armenians killed or exhiled from the Ottoman Empire, including the 87 years of interest and profits acrued from this loot. Self-interest comes first for them. They are sitting on the Armenian loot!!! Pardon? When did this bombing happen? As far as I know, there is a lot of political activity oin manchester and london surrounding the armenian cause, which is getting publicity but they always seem to get turned down all the time. I know that the CAIA is fighting hard all the time.

quote:Originally posted by Srbuhi:Dear Karine, Armenians love to represent famous people (esp. geniuses) as their countrymen. It is pleasant for their ill dignity. That's right. Especially if one of the fellow countrymen in question are doing well, then the community embraces them as an "armenian" (even if they are only a quater, like me. Just a small note: it's very difficult for the halves and even the quaters, because some people just refer to me as an "armenian" yet others just see it is a bit of distant ancestry. Sometimes even my mother thinks of me as full. Like for example, (because she's still old fashioned) "Gasp! don't tell anybody other than your close friends you are armenian! Do you know some people REALLY hate armenians? Be careful!" Ha ha ha! As if that's any kind of news to me, I have bin doing my reasearch, see? But a LOT of people I runinto and I just happen to tell them theyre all like "OOOhhhh" whether theyre turk or chinese or bengalese or anything...." I put it down to their own ignorance. Even now 'm still hurt by that backward attitude. I love my mum, she''s so soft-hearted but can sometimes be a bit naiive (that sounds like some not a million miles away from us...whooops!) This is still a very difficult subject for me but I find it's all to do with your attitude and pride. No matter what a person is if they don't accept ALL aspects of me then they can forget about me. And I am not going to hide myself from anybody! For example, I had all my armenian literature and things spread out and splayed on the table, and my "rabiz supa stars websites" ahhh! in a classroom half of turks, and they didn't batter or flick an eyelid. In fact some of them are close friends from before they know I am an armenian (as if they can miss it!) and we have some close friends of the family that just so happen to be turkish. I really like everyone in that class for example there's this boy called bergen whos fiance treats him bad) oooooo sorry I am always drifting off of the subject! but anyway what I was saying is about that is someone even partly armenian or intermarried into odar spit at them while they are still ordinary, but as soon as a bit of intelligence, talent, or weath or celebrity surfaces they are all over them. i think that it's all a bit two faced really. And what about (like what an ex-member Half Breed was saying? If youre still out there on the internet babe, a shout -out and a wave! Hope life is treating you well) what half breed was saying about Armenians as soon as they realise youre one of them treat you coldly. mabye it's self-insecurity issues.

quote:Originally posted by wh00t:"A is for Armenia: you're prettier than any Armenian prostitute I've ever had." That's disgusting. but mabye I misunderstand: did they mean it as a joke or an insult?

thank you for all your lovely replies. If I could marry a forum I would marry this one! Now I'm just being v.silly.... [ May 08, 2002, 10:29 AM: Message edited by: Kazza ]

It's good isn't it. i will write about it tommorrow, the lastest one was good in particular. June is getting nearer and nearer. June is a bomb month for three reasons; - My course will be over - It's my Birthday on the 11th, - And the Armenian Film festival will be shwing in London, I can't wait to go and see the colour of the pomegranates.

Why can't i get over the fact that the man I adored for nearly a year is in love with (And I don't know if she returns it, or if they are dating) one of my friends.) Why does he, no matter how hard I try, think I am just dim, or a bimbo, with half a brain. He doesn't know I exist, never picks up the phone when (I used to! Have learnt my lesson now!) I used to text him and call him. He sticks next to her every minuite of the day, never leaves her side, always offering her lifts to here there, everywhere. Would do anything for her, wouldn't even let dust hall on her hair. He is the kindest, sweetest man I have ever known, his best comes out with everyone else yet at times he can really treat he bad. Why can't his love be mine? Doesn't he knoe that I would be there for him? He doesn't no. No matter what happens. So all I ask is that I can be happy for them and leave them to get on with it. But I have to see them every day, and then when I see how nice he is the old feelings come back. This is just torture for me, they are going away to uni together the following September, and I can't wait till they go and leave me in peace.

quote:Originally posted by Bakersfieldian:I'm sorry if I go on a bit long or tell too much but I am still in shock from last night. A bit about me; I'm a mid 30's single, work at home father (I raise my 4 year old son by myself full time and love it!!!) who set a pesonal rule of no dating for minimum 1 year. The focus of my life are my son and my business. I feel extremely blessed with both. Last night I went on a date for the first time since........ OK, a very, very long time. She was an Armenian girl from the Valley. Cute, a beautiful smile, and sounded real nice over the phone. We went to dinner which appeared OK. Next she wanted to go to a bar. This was a total mistake! After a few drinks, she turned evil! Her language turned into a constant barrage of different and repeated versions of the F word. I will say it is interesting to see how many ways you can use that term. Noun, verb, adjective, pronoun, etc.. Either way, I was not amused. There was a friend of mine at the bar who was in the US Navy for 12 years. He said she must have been taking language lessons from the Marines because he never heard even a sailor speak with such vulagity. Combine that with her extreme volume, it was site for which I lack words to describe. The night ended with me driving her home (despite her behavior, I didn't ditch her. Probably a mistake). The whole way there she kept demanding I get a couple of 6 packs so we could party at her house. I didn't. Instead I just drove up to her apartment building where she proceeded to take 30+ minutes to find her keys. Meanwhile, Mexicans are walking by and staring in the car at me and the loud, foul mouthed, Armenian drunk. This is the closest I have come to actually walking around to the other side of the car and dragging a woman out by the hair (at least that was going through my mind. I was running out of options.) After telling her numerous times I could not (I had to go pick up my son from my fathers house)and would not go up stairs with her, she finally just slobbered a kiss on my cheek and got out of the car. Woohoo!!!! I finally got away!!! My question is.......... What has happened to Armenian girls??? Is this behavior common now??? any other input you might have is welcome. O Please, please don't think they are all like that all because of that one girl. That would be a real, real, shame. Although some of them act like bimbos there are a lot of lovely, family orientated Arm Girls out there so don't worry! I don't think it's a case or aremenian girls in particular, but some PEOPLE. Lots of people react to drink in strange ways, for example, some people start crying, some people are addicted to drink and they still have exactly the same behaviour, facial expressions, some people talk too much. But I can beleive she turned into a different person for the worst, becuase drink can completley change some people. Islam says, "Alchohol is the root of evil" i think they have a valid point. Poor guy, I can well imagine you weren't amused! All I can say to you is you were lucky you found out so soon that she is alchoholic. Because that is what she is if her behaviour turned so dramatically. Good thing you went to a bar at the first date because she could have been drinking before a date and you would not know what the matter is with her.

Thanks. You've just helped me out with my project1 i'll use that page as part of my research. Plus that's another place to try for work!

quote:Originally posted by Harut:Kazza jan, even it is very simple (what you've posted) i don't understand a bit of it. i just started studying C++ in fact, today is my first day of college after a break. in about 20 mins i will attand my first C++ class for the first time. wish me a luck. You have probably had it by now, but a balated good luck, lol! I'll help teach you later if you want and explain it more..

quote:Originally posted by THOTH:Nellie, Kazza, et al - thanks for your support - but it is OK, really...I think I can live with one warning (though, to some degree I am at a loss...no matter...). But in Kazza's sake i think she should get 2 good points (anti-warnings or what not) since she altered her sig voluntarily...even though the vote clearly was in favor of it remianing as it was. This shows a great deal of concillitory attitude and behavior on her part and it shluld be rewarded (at the very least by recinding her warning) Oh it's okay Thoth. Give me some chocolate buttons, or bake me a cake. Seriously though, I think should have your warning taken back. Out of principle if nothing else.

quote:Originally posted by Azat:Harut jan, Can you take the program that Karapetyan listed above and print out "Azat is the man" 10 times? Oh by the way harut, for our third example we are going to improve the Windows XP kernal. Hope you do a good job on this one and learn from it. smilies/smile.gif The code: #include //NOTE: In brackets, the library. It is essential for the program to work or the computer will not know where to exectute the commands from. int main() //NOTE: Remember: no semi colon after brackets. Int main is the only exeption to the semi-colon rule. It is very essential for each program to have int main on the front other wise it won't work. { cout<<"Azat is the man"< cout<<"Azat is the man"< cout<<"Azat is the man"< cout<<"Azat is the man"< cout<<"Azat is the man"< cout<<"Azat is the man"< cout<<"Azat is the man"< cout<<"Azat is the man"< cout<<"Azat is the man"< cout<<"Azat is the man"< return 0; } //NOTE: there MUST ALWAYS be brackets at the beginning and end of each program, to mark the beginning and end. To Harut and Azat, I know this way does work, but it's still not right because a loop should be used to output "Azat is the man" 10 times. The endl on the end is right but it is just another way of ending the line. It is just very basic coding. I will dig out my C++ notes from last year and find the method of the loop! I need them anyway, so it's a good thing the post reminded me. [ March 12, 2002, 07:05 AM: Message edited by: Kazza ]

Lol! That picture!

LoL! Bellthecat! I don't know whether you'd like this or not, but the eyes on that picture look exactly like mine!!! Even the colour of them!! Except with eyelashes. Without the ninja mask of course. It's uncanny! Is the picture in the oven of a uterus?! lol funny. Where did you get the picture. [ March 12, 2002, 06:00 AM: Message edited by: Kazza ]

quote:Originally posted by nellie:I completely agree with Kazza. Moderators, please reconsider. Winston, especially, does not deserve the warning, from my perspective. As for Kazza, sure, she swore on the forum, but come on, everybody knew it was coming. Arthur has been insulting her in every way possible for the last couple of weeks. how come Arthur did not get a warning all this time? It is ok to degrade and insult somebody as long as you don't swear, huh??? nellie No! I think YOU are absolutley right in what you said! I try, I often don't get it right. I would say more in reply but I think I have said what I gave got to say in regard to this topic, and I think that's enough for now, about ME, but I still urge the moderators to take back Winston's warning. I know this might sound silly. but I just wan't everybody to get along. I never wanted an argument to come to this. Lol, it's okay to say I want everybody to be nice in hyeforum, but what about the aother armenian forums, (like diaspora.com, network54, etc?) They'd tear me apart!

It is Armenians like you that make me proud and not the people like Artur or Tigran. Awwww.... I am (some would say, FOR ONCE,) lost for words....
