Dispute at the pub board meeting....Do pedal cyclists have to wear a helmet by law

Thanks Dominic that sounds like good advice,,can you elaberate?

As we enter our twilight years,our demise comes into mind more often and whats going to happen to that humble wealth we have worked hard for all the years we have existed on this planet. Should as some bar room lawyers advise put all we proudly own,even the kitchen sink into a trust where we still h...

Incredible,,,there are couples living here i know who are barely getting by on their UK state pension only.

What on earth will they do?Will they all have to go back to the UK as they will not survive with a 25% reduction.

Our Cypriot will is done.Or is it that simple? If i pop my clogs first,as stated in our will everything goes to the wife,the house,the bank account,even our horseless carraiges all of which are in joint names. If the wife should have a meeting with the grim reaper first,visa versa all goes to yours ...

Mmmmmm,9,708,716 people voted them in,how many of those would vote for them again

Assuming that you mean 1000 euors per month, I would have thought that they would not get residency on that amount. If they are as you say middle aged, and so not retired they will not have an S1 certificate. One of the requirements of immigration would be for them to have private medical insurance...

I would class them as social/moderate drinkers.

Some friends of ours own a property here in Paphos and are considering a permenant move from the UK .
The question they are asking me,and others of course is could they have a comfortable living here with an income of 1,000 euros per week.
They are middle aged with no dependants,.

Does any know where you can get a " back stretcher " simply the device,you lie on it or what ever and it stretchers your spinal column..any help would be greatly appreciated .

I may may wrong but all this is now this turning into talk of WW111.Mmmmm,i doubt myself that Putin would want to fight wars on TWO fronts.

Hi, I received my S1 certificate from the UK and took it to the citizens service centre, signed their form and have now received a white card in the post.

My personal problem is that as soon as my head hits the pillow around 10.30 i,m out like a light.( so far so good ) but i wake up around 2am to 3,30am and can never go back to sleep. Its been suggested that at my old age you dont need a...

Americas first amendment,.........freedom of speech.

I believe you have. What I suspect you have in front of you is a Cyprus medical card. The S1 form is an A4 paper sheet you will have received from the UK. josef,oh dear you are right i stand to be corrected.So the S1 A4 sheet i have never had it ,not heard of it,not needed it ( so far ) and how do ...

Sorry josef,but as i type this i have my cherised S1 white card in front of me and at the bottom left hand side it clearly states that IT DOES expire on the 31st November.Mmmmm,or have i got something wrong.
