Re: Government mulling over making masks mandatory in some spaces

Especially when it's usual to have eight to ten round a bed, or at least it was, when I was in Paphos General.

Re: Suspected Frozen Shoulder

Thank you for your replies. I already take Co-codamol on a regular basis, so I hate to think what my shoulder would feel like if I didn't. Today I'm still in pain and unable to raise my left arm much. I will call my G.P.s surgery tomorrow, and ask for an emergency appointment. As I live alone, my da...

Suspected Frozen Shoulder

Has anyone on here ever suffered from a frozen shoulder? I have osteoarthritis anyway, but besides that, last night I had significant pain in my left shoulder. Today I cannot raise my arm to shoulder height, my arm feels weak, but no tingling, pins and needles. The pain is now worse in my neck and s...

Re: Uninstall PC App Store

I always shut down my laptop after use, never sleep. And no, I certainly don't use dodgy sites :lol: I haven't even tried to use souliman's advice yet, due to pre arranged outings and visits from friends and family, but I hope for a quiet slot this afternoon, to apply myself to getting rid of this b...

I would like to bet that you're not alone, Devil. There are probably thousands of unclaimed bank accounts in credit, floating about in the ether.

Re: education– or lack thereof

I had my first bank account at junior school.

Paid in so much a week, and had my bank book stamped accordingly. I thought that was the norm in the early 50s.

Sadly today, the local bank is long gone. Faceless people to deal with over the phone, that's if you can actually speak to someone.

Re: Electric Cars - Caveat Emptor

No, I, don't want to stay in an EV for 24hrs, in a traffic jam.

That's precisely why I would like those who have done test, so let us see the test taking place.

Re: Lovely and fresh

Initially you didn't state the method by which the people IN Ukraine would know of the post, hence my reply.

I fear that further discourse would not be helpful to this thread.

Merry Christmas.

It's not an opinion as such, rather that I would like to see the results of tests, with my own eyes, and so far, there are non to see. So it's all conjecture as I see it.

Like many ideas, they don't always work in practice.

Re: Polis Christmas Village - 2023

Wow things have certainly changed in Cyprus since we lived there. Our first Christmas was awful, you would never know that it was Christmas, we walked from Geroskipu to Paphos harbour on Christmas day, hardly saw a soul, no lights no decs, nothing, it was dead. So glad to see that things have change...

sadly, I don't think that the people of the Ukraine will have the time, nor the inclination, to login to PL.
