Istanbul Meet, Early May?

[HVC]

Sorry, I was watching some films and my thinking got sidetracked.

Do you often fantasize about men ejaculating when you watch these movies?

I fantasize about people dying horribly.

I'm going to need extensive medical insurance if I listen to you guys

Spellus is just going to shriek when you punch him in the nuts.

Doesn't help if I'm injured in Turkey.

But, not to worry........I'll buy the Magyar some raki, he'll revert to his Hunnic roots and take Spellus out 

[Barrister]

Wish I could go with ya guys.  Have fun, and have a, err, whatever it is you'll be drinking, for me.

[Syt]

I'm going to fly out on the 30th April and stay for 8 days 

Wish I could join you, but last 5 and first 3-4 working days of any month are always out for me.

There's talk of an important project meeting during May, though, so I may have to cancel/postpone my vacation at least in part, anyways, to, oh, I have no clue.

Raki tastes like a far more pleasant form of Nyquil, so my years of abuse of the blue-green bottle will hopefully give me an advantage over Tamas.   

[Tamas]

I'll have to google Raki and Nyquil

BTW Spellus, I remember a teacher of mine who once toured some Turkish towns (somewhat inland IIRC) and he said people became very friendly with him once they learned he is Magyar. He claimed the whole ~200 years frontier war between us is considered there as turks and magyars vs. austrians. Which it was to some degree of course, since Transylvania was a turkish vassal...
Know anything about that? Need to know if I'll have to watch my back there like in Slovakia

Raki is a stronger and less good ersatz of Ouzo...

[Richard Hakluyt]

Raki is the Turkish variant of aniseed-flavoured spirit. So it's in the same category as pastis, anise, sambuca, ouzo etc etc

Don't think I've ever had any......yet.

Yep and you have not missed much...

IIRC it tasted a bit like absinthe, only 'spicier' somehow.
