Following recent topics, you now have to be logged in to read this forum.
Please think about how you are making Uzumlu appear to neutrals - if I was one I doubt I'd want to go near the place.
-
wouldnt it make sense to remove the entire offending article so people dont get the wrong impression of the lovely village.
-
Scunner thats a bit of an exaggeration!
LOL!
Lets be honest whilst I really enjoy CBF it is only an internet forum, not to be confused with real life. A "cyber" row between a few fellow online forum geeks hardly constitutes armageddon!
Maybe this is how the Roman Empire ended, rows on computer forums!
Uzumlus a smashing wee place where believe it or not most people dont even know about CBF and get on great.
-
It might be that not many Uzumlu residents come on the forum but the forum get thousands of hits per month (week even) and many of those will be from people who have never heard of Uzumlu. It's those people - possibly the next house purchaser or rental contract who you will be putting off.
We've proved time and again how infulential CBF can be so don't underestimate the damage that can be caused.
-
going by that logic they wouldnt buy anywhere in the whole Fethiye area as there have been rows etc about everywhere at times!
Plus if someone didnt buy in a particular area because they read about a row on an internet forum they shouldnt be allowed out unaccompanied never mind considering buying property!
As I say CBF is a great forum but lets get things in perspective
-
Believe what you want saorise but whatever you think it doesn't alter the fact that new members and browsers will not be getting a very good impression of Uzumlu through this forum due to the posts over the last few months.
-
...or Ovacik, Fethiye, Calis, etc etc...
-
I think we are discussing Uzumlu though.
-
LOL!
round in circles
-
Scunner and Stoop, apologies and you are right. Inhouse fighting should be kept inhouse. But it's a shame it's there at all. I would say to all reading this Sariouse is also right. Uzumlu is a lovely little village (but getting bigger) We really do have to try and 'get on' because we are a small community, most of us came out 'for the quiet, relaxing, peaceful' life so lets stop slagging each other, the other person or whatever. After all, doom and gloom, have you thought how many people will turn up at your hole in the ground to say 'goodbye'? I.E. How many people will miss you? [?]

Maybe so, but if the only things I had read about Uzumlu were the few topics on here in the last couple of days, it sounds like hell on Earth. Luckily I know better than that, but to a newbie it may be different.
-
well as an Uzumlu fan I am more concerned with rumour that theres no Prem football on Fox digiturk this season and ya have to take digiturk sports package to get it. Anyone know if its true?
(didnt get reply on tv forum so trying my luck here!)
-
We'll let you know on Saturday
-
thanks mate
-
Is the Uzumlu section really THAT bad, on the whole? Wont making the Uzumlu a members only section make prosective buyers suspicious? Which defeats the object of making it members only. Can't the people who contributed to this row be PM'd about it and leave it at that.
True, I think the Cement Factory has helped to boost negative posts and some in-fighting in the area. But I think that if the Cement factory had have been proposed in (say) the Hisaronu area, there would have been a bit of a blow up there. It causes strong feelings, people have spent a lot of money for their dream homes and are justifiably worried about the outcome of all this. Different people react in different ways to this sort of thing. Some people try as hard as they can to help, some think the problem will sort itself out. When you care strongly about something and try to do something about it it's like putting your head above the parapet. There will always be someone prepared to shoot at you.

There is good and bad everywhere, I was in Belfast on Thursday and someone tried to rip me off. I bought goods and the bloke on the till informed me it came to £3.16. I gave him a tenner and he said "dead on, thanks". How dare he, it certainly was not 'dead on', it was £6.84 too much.
-
ripped off here in my hometown Scunner, never!
we are sooo honest here!
wish you had said you were comming would have like to buy you a few beers
-
I never say when I'm going anywhere. I did find time to have lunch in one of my all time top 10 restaurants in the World (and I'm not joking here) - Mixed grill at Blinkers in the City Centre :D You don't have to be posh to be good ;)
-
p.s. I trust you realise my wee joke, when he said 'dead on' he meant good, not that £10 was exactly correct :D

you know our Belfast ways Mr S!
-
Anyway, best we get back on topic, this is about Uzumlushire :)
-
"Maybe so, but if the only things I had read about Uzumlu were the few topics on here in the last couple of days, it sounds like hell on Earth. Luckily I know better than that, but to a newbie it may be different"
But it was a newbie that instigated this problem!
-
Agreed, but wasn't it a newbie's impression of Uzumlu? Raw impressions are often interesting, the rest of us are biased about our place of choice ;)
I can't put in place a rule that stops newbies having opinions, where would that leave us?
-
I still don't think it right to call someone you don't know 'a horrible woman'! Would you not get upset if you were called 'a horrible man'? Be honest! PS ... Sorry, I am not supposed to argue with you .... forgot!
-
I would think Uzumlu is like any place in the world where there are a bunch of retirees - too many people with too much time on their hands and nothing much to do. C'est la vie!

I'm sure you realise the rule that states you aren't allowed to argue with me was a joke :D
I would not get upset if someone called me a 'horrible man'. I would of course prefer to hear it from the person themselves, rather than them peddling around town to anyone bored enough to listen.
I take your various points, but it was a personal view on an unnamed individual, based on a factual set of circumstances, and it was that individual who broadcast the fact that it was her being spoken about!
If I was in a bar and overheard someone telling people they murdered someone, I doubt that I am guilty of much if I told others factually what I had heard "from the horse's mouth". If that person then says "That was me who said that" on a public forum, there is no point in accusing me of calling them a murderer!

Get real, of course CBF is true life. :D
-
It's them out there that aren't real. They couldn't possibly...
-
Hillbillies:D
-
Stay in with CBF. You're safer in here ;)
-
A bit of a philosophical reply Scunner (Para.4), but there are not many Cockney blondes in Uzumlu, so the person in question really had no choice but to assume she was the subject! I just hope the persons who made the remark realise just how much distress they have caused! It was a private conversation between a group of people in an empty bar(the couple must have arrived during the conversation)! "The factual set of circumstances" I do dispute as we only have Busby's account, don't we?
-
"Its them out there that aren't real! They couldn't possibly ...."
Well Scunner, funny you should say that .... it has been suggested today that Buzby can't be real! For example.... there is not a restaurant in Uzumlu that hasn't made him ill, broken his teeth, etc. etc. and he doesn't like the clientele of the Wine House ..... but he can't wait to come in November !!! Errrr ... Real or Unreal?? Oops, must be catching! Put the red wine away .... that's it .... its the Uzumlu Wine thats doing it!! Hic!

Listen Ms Biker Chick Blonde
I appreciate what you are saying, I have all the way through. Now can you appreciate my point, that the upset caused that you mention may be met equally by the upset caused to someone, somewhere by people talking about others, behind their back? Is one more acceptable than the other in your opinion?
I have previously discussed how difficult administrating CBF can be, especially in situations like these. We get slated for locking topics, we get slated for not locking topics (the same topic sometimes) - so you tell me, just this once, how you would have dealt with all this...
You're the administrator for this set of recent topics. Whatever you think, I'll do.
-
Remove the offending thread started by Buzby please Mr. Scunner and I will shut up! They dont called me the Rottweiller with Lipstick for nothing!!
-
My mum always warned me that three things were best avoided. Bikers, chicks, and blondes. OK I will delete it, you're the boss
-
There, a man of my word as always. Oh, I'm admin again now ;)
-
Mum was right! Thanks! Night night!
-
You always get your way Liz ! see you Saturday
-
Ok, now if everyone stops posting on THIS topic it will drop away, and maybe all the posting efforts of the last few days centred on Uzumlu could be channeled into showing how nice a place it is to be :)
Maybe not [:o]
-
Changed my mind ... not going to bed after all! Uzumlu is great... all the restaurants are good! People are friendly .... weather fantastic! Bus service not bad! Wine sometimes good! Barber cheap ... not that I need to go yet! Good social life! Interesting walks organised and other trips ... bit hot at mo though! Good Turkish lessons. Nice cold Efes ... too much sometimes! Lovely and rural ... goats, sheep, tortoises etc. etc. Not TOO many tourists...just enough to liven things up in summer! Beautiful views .... not too far from the beach! We sometimes get water! Well.. usually get water! Occasional earthquakes, but not toooo many! Just rocks the bed now and then ... at least I think it was an earthquake! Down side ... nasty moths!! PS Calvin... my name is not Liz!!
-
OK, I've kept quiet on this one so far - just watching it play out. But I feel I must address the balance in some way. I totally agree with Biker Chick. Much hurt must have been made with these threads and its time to let the bitching drop and let beautiful uzumlu speak for its self. We all have personal opinions and we can't get on with everyone, so speak as you find and if you can't say anything nice about someone, dont say anything at all. On a personal perspective - CG, if you are reading this, the Pookies think you are fab - lively, noisy, and off your trolley - but still fab ! Just sit back have another vodka slush puppy and it will all blow over...
Ok, I've said my piece. :)
-
Nice to see things calming down ,sorry Beth if i got your name wrong ,will look after the other half today and we will see you and Beautiful Uzumlu at sunrise tommorrow ,if any one on TCX173 who needs a lift give me a shout ,Room for two .Regards Calvin
-
Well said Pookie! We love you Cockney Girl! Have fun and forget nasty comments!
-
Having lived, on and off, in Uzumlu for the last 5 years, I'm sooooooo glad I haven't met any of you... what say you Chris...
-
whats all that about ,woollyback?????
-
Any of whom?
-
here we go again !!!! night all
-
OK, forget I asked that. Would hate to get locked, LOL. I'm outta here. Night, oh attractive sounding one...
-
Mr Scunner Sir, I think you ought to sort out Woollyback! He needs reprimanding! This is a nice forum!
-
I recon his punishment should be a waxing. Or, tweezering. Mwa-ha-ha!
-
I thought we were only allowed to say nice things on Uzumlu Forum Mr. Tuckey aka Woollyback ... and you have probably met a lot of us unless you never go out! Mr Scunner will shut our Uzumlu forum down to non-members again if you start being nasty! That's if you are REAL! Or are you just a troublemaker?
-
Hi There
Busby here. Working hard, 8 days a week and no play.
Just a couple of points we'd like to clarify.
1. Biker Chick Blonde, we are "real people"
2. We did not 'slag' any establishments off. It was our honest opinion of restaurants/bars in Uzumlu. Except for the Kirk Pinar which was well worth the 25 minute drive. Does anyone know if there is snow there in November?
Rottweiller & lipstick! Whatever next? Good job we know a good vet!
Ronnie & Millie

We consider that topic to be closed now, if you wish to carry on about it do it via email.
-
Well said Mr. Scunner ... enough childish comments I think! Subject should be closed!
-
Mr. Scunner .... please is Uzumlu Forum still for members only as I have to sign in each time for Uzumlu even though I am always logged on! Or am I being more blonde than usual??
