A reader note and help on next week's column topic

A friend had the following comment to my post on TIPS:
when i read this, it s just make me think of french tips =) which is just a manicure and a lady thing. im suprised how woman can think of mani from such a subject =)
Well, I did not know the word "french tips", so what she says makes sense:) Besides, I am like that as well: One of the topics I am thinking about for next week's Hurriyet/Roubini column is the 2001 crisis; after all, on Tuesday, it was the 10th anniversary of the crisis. But the first thing that came to my mind was not the number 10, but the number 29: For those not in the know, 29 is the number of years the eziks have not won the Turkish F.A. cup. So it is french minis for my friend, the eziks for me:).... And yes, I am still sore from Sunday:)

Speaking of the column, the other idea I am playing with is the effect of the Arab tremors on Turkey. Let me know if you like one idea over the other, or would like to suggest an idea of your own- any thoughts will be greatly appreciated....

Maybe you can write about unemployment, poverty, income inequality, i.e. things that people on the street care about.

Great idea- thanks. Maybe, I should do that when I write about CHP's economic policies, which are slowly but surely being announced...

Thanks!!!
