Hello...my name is Cem...I am Turkish...I am 36....I live in Istanbul....I also write quite frequently in the mymerhaba forum and thus have chosen to register with the username that I use over there.

Interests : Using the Internet, watching football and basketball on TV, playing pool, playing chess, going out to bars/clubs on a night out in town, although I don't do that more often than once a week anymore....getting old sucks !

Cheers,

Cem

hi Cem and welcome! good to see you've made your way over here to this forum. hopefully you find it a nice addition to the mymerhaba forum and you will become a regular poster in here as well. you probably find this forum is a lill' more informal and can be crazy at times, nonetheless you may still find that helpful information you are looking for, by just asking our very friendly forum members. as for painting the town red you may find that your average of once a week probably isn't all that bad given our social gatherings happen on a far less frequency [for now]. hope to see you come along to one of our gatherings as well to meet with the others. enjoy your time here at the forum!

(Well I'd like to make the gatherings more often! I'm always after people to go to clubs and see bands. Maybe this can be a new thread?)

Hi Cem....we have a similar opinion on Turkish men then!? Blimey, so many of my friends are scared of any man approaching them and walk with their heads down!

Well, as FD said, this site is informal (meaning rude and obsessed with sex) so it can be quite a laugh. Freedom of rude speech and making fun of each other are the standards here!

So...um..single eh? Looking for love? Can fit you up! Got a nice young chick on here!!

Hi Cem and welcome to the expat sanitarium. Shame you didnt join earlier. we just had meet ups every weekend for the last 4 weeks but dont know what is happening this weekend apart from the latin thing.
I have my wife over at the moment so I am a little busy at the moment untill she goes back.
But the 11th sounds good to me.
welcome and I am not sure what Charly is referring to by young chicks available on here?

Cheers, flying dutchman, charly and starman.

So....shall we say March 11, then ? As for the venue, I will say Madrid Bar, one of my favorite bars in Beyoglu. But I wouldn't mind another place. Anyway, we've got plenty of time to decide on the venue.

Cheers,

Cem

Madrid is OK for me. Downstairs though - the guy gives wicked measures...but please girls, go to the loo before you come! Unless you like wading.

OK then lets continue this in the social gatherings section.

Yes mum

Istanbulguy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just read you laying into Tallpony!
He really peeved you off eh?

Charly, well, yes, we had a 'war of words' over in the mymerhaba forum. I don't really want to write anymore about this particular person...of course I would have words to write about him if I now wanted to, but I don't think it would be appropriate to carry the argument over here.

Cheers,

Cem

Oh Cem! Now you have spoiled things!
I say, Don't let him get to you! He's probably completely great in the flesh.
