I spent yesterday afternoon on a plane somewhere between Berlin and London, surrounded by a crew of gay stewards. They served passengers ham and coleslaw sandwiches and entertained us with weird parodies of standard plane announcements.
Almost everyone, at some point in their lives, needs a pair of tweezers. They can come in handy for other things apart from plucking eyebrows or the odd stray chin hair!

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
