Re: Nike - New England Strip.

:D To all the people who are having cardiac arrests at the St George flag, here's a bit of History for you. George was from Anatolia, a Greek-speaking town now part of modern day Turkey, and because of his tall stature and fair hair was probably of Darian origin. George's family were Christians, hi...

Re: Cyta - so easy

Interesting. Perhaps they had a flood of people like us ditching them for other providers after they introduced this last year. My wife switched to a Primetel pay monthly account and is very happy with it as she makes far more use of the phone. My own PrimeTel contract is due for renewal in a couple...

Re: NHS cover on visit to UK

I applied to the UK for an EHIC card last year but was told I wasn't eligible unlessI I had a UK address. Blame Brexit. However I have been told that the NHS will provide emergency care, but bearing in mind the curren t state of the NHS and the very long waits for anything concerning health treatme...

Why? It’s a card issued for residents of European countries. Available by appointment at Citizens Service Centres.

Re: Masks and mandatory tests following Covid 'outbreak'

Sorry Dominic, but that is just someone offering an opinion, based on no actual facts. No evidence is presented. There have been scant few scientific studies carried out. One of the few real studies that was carried out was in Norway and that found that masks did nothing to prevent the spread of co...

Re: Electric Cars - Caveat Emptor

Apparently they don't actually recall the cars they send out an internet patch, which I suspect means that the owners will have to comply with certain conditions. I can see a lot of them being missed. Sorry, that answer begs the question that something in the US needs modification but not elsewhere...

Re: Forget gas.. Energy storage is the answer

Storage is a massive issue. The studies by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory consistently show that, in the US for example, the amount of rejected energy is around two thirds. That’s a shed load of energy going to waste. You can play around with the charts on the attached link, the charts for C...

Paphos Airport Car Park Query

Whilst I’m waiting for an email response from Hermes, I wonder if anyone in the answer to this. If you have a car park reservation for car park P5 at Paphos - the fairly new one more or less opposite the exit barriers to the main car park in front of the terminal, how do you get to it whilst the roa...

Re: Elgin marbles

We had a fantastic trip (again) to Athens earlier this year. Lord Elgin’s name features regularly on the explanatory notes on the Parthenon on the Acropolis and in the Acropolis Museum - the articles are written in a way that few would doubt the feelings of those in Greece. The Caryiads on the Erech...

Using Mobile PAYG Balance to Donate to Charity

Top tip: If you are changing your mobile phone provider and have a PAYG balance left on your phone that you will lose when you move provider, rather than simply losing the balance you could instead consider donating the balance to a charity. For example, we had €40 balance left on a CYTA PAYG and ha...

Re: EV cars and parking

To all the members, if you see an EV car in a car park do not park next to it. Park your car away from them, as there has been many fires in EV cars and they burn 4 time hotter that a normal car fire. Cars have been set on fire from an EV car fire. Go on youtube and search for EV car fires and watc...
