My wife saw Rain & Tears at the Italian club in Khartoum in Sudan in 1966. How about that for a piece of useless information .

Interesting your comments regarding the Amazon fire stick , I have friends who have a holiday home in Spain and they were saying how good the firestick was . I assume it’s more than just plugging it in ?

I struggled last year with my state of the ark mag box which I believe is 8 years old. My TV supplier is recommending the 520 model but they are trialing the 522 model.

Went there in 1969 for the first time it was totally unspoilt , no cars as already mentioned and I was picked up by a fishing boat and taken to my hotel which was an old monastery set on the beach .

Terry

Hi Max , I enjoy your postings and would be delighted if you start posting on this subject again .
