Re: Paphos Smart Parking
JB - you don’t need a Cyprus mobile. You need a Cyprus sim to use the SMS payment, surely, as the money is charged to your phone bill, which presumably passes it onto Paphos Municipality. If you use the app and your debit/credit card, then the sim country shouldn't matter. Not sure about that AMS, ...

Re: Recycle Bins
What is going on with all the recycle bins, they have all been taken away? Cannot believe that we haven’t been put in the picture as to what is going on. It’s not only the recycle bins but some ordinary waste bins have disappeared too. If you mean the ones by stadium car park, we noticed they had m...

Re: Paphos Smart Parking
Why mess about with apps. Just SMS to 9191 and put in the number of the space as the message, job done. Maybe because many people don't have a Cyprus Mobile perhaps? Caledonian- it may not be important to some but I don’t believe parking is charged pro rata when using SMS v using an app. If regular...

Re: Parking app and UK phones
Mike, you need to come for a coffee and a lesson. It’s a doddle. You don’t need to know where you are. Park in a bay, open the app and press the blue parking icon, on the next screen you just type the 4 digit number painte on the floor of the parking bay and press Start Parking. If there’s no number...

Why mess about with apps. Just SMS to 9191 and put in the number of the space as the message, job done. Can’t possibly see how they can tell if the space is covered, or identify a vehicle unless they have underground sensors and npr cameras for each space. The parking officers on the scooters can t...

Re: Travel Medication
I can't answer your specific question about the general hospital travel clinic but I know from speaking to my GP that you cannot get Malarone malaria tablets in Cyprus (or the generic version) and they're the ones I like to take since you don't need to take them for as long and they haven't given m...

Travel Medication
Do anybody have any experience of using the Vaccination centre at Paphos General Hospital for travel vaccinations? I’m interested to know what type of malaria tablets they typically dispense. Was in there earlier this week but on my long list of questions I missed that one.

Re: Pet proof fly screens
Call Franks Blinds on 97 790978. I know he offers these as an option on fly screens but I can’t comment on their effectiveness as ours are the standard material.

Re: COVID RESTRICTIONS
The position is quite clear, the requirement to present a negative Covid-19 test result in order to visit a hospital or nursing home was lifted recently - as reported in the Cyprus Mail and other media outlets on 19 March: https://cyprus-mail.com/2024/03/19/no-more-covid-tests-to-visit-hospitals/ Ian

Re: Nike - New England Strip.

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...

Re: NHS cover on visit to UK
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...
