In my experience (domestic and work-wise) you cannot beat a Henry, by Numatic International. I'd be very surprised if these are NOT sold in Cyprus. And price-wise, they are well within your budget! Very powerful, quality tools and SS pipe, long reach, cheap hepaflow bags. They are what the cleaning ...

Crikey, Jacs- I think you need a Segway!

Many thanks Tina! That is very reassuring info for me..

I used to buy large jars of honey from the Sunset Taverna in Agios Georgos (sadly, now closed) to bring back to UK. Wifey loved it.

It was from Tremithousa and is probably available from the kiosks along the road from Coral Bay out to AG, as well as in Tremi of course. Jacs?

Do you have this luxury service available over there in Cyprus? If so, and you use such a handy resource, I'd like some advice, please. Here in UK, I'm thinking of giving Tesco a free one month trial for free next day home delivery ordered on Mon-Thu. But one aspect worries me, that of frozen food i...

I would love to see a recipe for the Latchi fishermens Fish Soup, Max!

Hopefully, the large fish in the Ganges are caught in the higher reaches of this major river, after it has flowed down from the snow-capped Himalaya mountain range. I noticed that Nisha seemed to growing a bit larger in each episode. Not surprising, considering the amount of curries and desserts she...

Agreed! Just watched it and found it very thought provoking. Made me happy about the miniscule amount of general waste that I dispose of in our black wheelie bin every month or two.

Thanks, Devil- AL

A few days ago, a member gave us a headsup about a series on BBC TWO focused on cooking from the sub continent. I cannot now find the post in order to reply to it... However, it's on BBC TWO catchup (via the BBC iPlayer) and is called "Recipes that made me" by Nisha Katona. So far, I've th...

Perhaps they should carry such an exercise weekly especially around the various preferred fly tipping spots ...especially at the hairpin bend you find at the top of every ravine up in them thar hills! Pull over and take a look down. You won't believe the amount of junk deposited on Mother Nature's ...

Going by the photo of the offending product, it looks to me that the Live and Neutral pins are arse about face to where they should be? Scary...

This looks reall yummy! Though I don't think I'd be able to resist the temptation of transforming it into a kind of Quiche Lorraine dish...

Shortcrust pastry base, diced bacon and tomatoes in the cheese filling. Perhaps even finely sliced red or green chillies on top...

Just browsed the NordVPN ad banner here on PL. If you are considering a VPN (or changing your existing one), NOW is the time to strike! They have a 3 year special offer that costs just $99 (€86) paid in one lump. The 30 day money back guarantee still applies, and this price represents a 77% saving. ...

I would say both, Max

We've been through this topic a few months ago, but something has cropped up that I wish to share with fellow UK-based male members. Growing tired of the cheapo Tesco twin-blade razors (not a close shave, and quick to blunt), I searched their site for something more superior. I think I struck gold! ...

Surely the old MEU1 (yellow slip from Cyprus Immigation) is a pre-2004 requirement, before Cyprus joined the EU? After that, EU 'Freedom of Movement' rules would have applied, with no bureaucratic forms to fill in locally. So how does anyone work out that a UK citizen who has lived in Cyprus for the...

Shooting for Red Grouse resumed on the (glorious) 12th August in Scotland, so there must be some sort of seasonal hunting link here, I would have thought?

Thanks all, for your concerns! All is fine here, honestly. I spend a good 2 hours daily reading all your marvelous posts, but don't actually reply lately, unless I think I've summat useful to contribute. (Trying to keep my average daily post count on PL to less than 4 per day, by popular request!) I...

Don't worry about that rat in your garden, Aphrodite. That 2M long black snake that also lives in your garden will soon be eating the rat for breakfast!

A wonderful and very thought-provoking blog, thanks, Dom...

Sad to learn that (due to theft and internet outage) it might be the last one for a while, m8. My commiserations..

Cheers- AL
