Brussels

It’s that time of year, love them or loathe them they are an essential on the Christmas lunch table. Has anyone seen any fresh Brussels sprouts for sale, they have them in packets in the Garden of Eden but they look a bit old.

Thank you Kissos, looks like I need to make some further Enquires, the problem is that the so called officials all seem to give you a different answer!

Cyprus Pension

I have been paying Social Insurance since I began work but have just checked and I will not have made 15 years worth of contributions when I reach 65 so will therefore not be entitled to a Cypriot pension. Does anyone know what happens to the payment’s that I will have made over the previous 14 year...

Re: Dog proof garden …

Try Stavros at the top of Mesogi Road by the traffic lights, he has lots of different types of fencing there and many years ago I bought the green chain link fencing. If it's not in stock he will order it for you providing that it is still available on the Island.

Reclaiming IPT

Has anyone recently reclaimed IPT after getting their title deeds. I thought that you can reclaim a portion of the IPT paid by the builder. Any advice would be appreciated.

Many thanks

Not the Coptic gales from the calendar as they are a myth

Re: Nerve Blocks

I’m not sure what the procedure involves in your case but 25years ago I had facet denervation for incapacitating back pain, I’ve not had any major problems since, just the odd twinge.

Re: Brilliant white emulsion paint

Chemopel Super white is the best 'white' I have found, a lot of the other whites are a bit grey if you compare them. I get mine from One Stop diy.

If you chose Chemopel make sure you but Neotex, about €50 for 10 litres, the cheaper ones are not very good

Re: Wooden front door

It is the sun that ruins wooden doors, if your door is in the shade or recessed somehow the wood and finish will last, if not it means treating it every year.

Renewal of driving license for over 75

I have looked online and just need to check with anyone who has recently gone through the process, do I need to download and complete the TOM 7D as well as the TOM 153 medical form.

Many thanks Neil
