Re: Nike - New England Strip.

I find football the most sycophantic of all sports . If the groundsman guinea pig dies the players will wear black armbands for a month .

Cyta - so easy

I have just topped up my so easy phone through the Cyta website with 10 euros . Recent changes meant this would expire in six months but the confirmation I received showed it was valid until 2/03/2025 , have they changed their policy again . Thanks

Viklari

I know Viklari is closed for the winter but I am curious to know whether the road that was closed has been finished and that you do not necessarily need a four wheel to visit the restaurant ?

Re: Flu/Covid

The figures quoted by the NHS are not necessarily reliable , I am aware that an individual who was run over by a bus and killed was put down as a covid death as the virus was discovered when they took a sample of their blood.

It was a progressive school and was flexible enough to allow half of my form opt out of languages and we took GCE’s in accountancy , economics and commercial knowledge , it made such a difference when I left school as I knew ...

Re: Viklari or Last castle

Went to Viklari a few weeks ago and the original route is still closed . The alternative route is a bit more ‘ hairy ‘ than the original route but it was amazing the number of red plates on the route ! Apparently business is 50% down at the Viklari due to the road closure and the roadworks should ha...

Viklari or Last castle

Does anyone know if the road to the above restaurant is open ? I know there is an alternative route which Dominic highlighted some time ago but I have heard that the road works on the original route has been completed . Thank you .

Re: Excavations reveal 'significant cultural treasures' off Peyia

I have always been curious about this island and it’s settlements but one obvious question is where did they get their drinking water from ?
