Just a smart, but rather humble fellow, who's company we enjoyed both here in Los Angeles and again in Paris. He's able to look at relationships linked by portals from one frame of reference to another!
You could swear, all you fancy, in your Northern Territory drawl and he can answer you in perfect Turkish, Dutch, French or English and tie you up in knots! He has a special vision that can see behind the mirror, whereas you see through a little window!
The main difference, between the two of you, is when you
really insult someone to the nth, you could just be causing them pain for the fun of it or about to buy them a beer! However, you piss of Cem, and he tells you to "bugger off!", likely as not , there's no beer coming .......and if it's you.....you deserve a crack on the head too because you do .......and your wicked cynicism!
