Paphos Life

Our Honda Jazz was subject to an airbag recall. We had the driver airbag replaced around 8 years ago, (when the mayor had all the roads up in the old town) and had a text from Honda saying it was due for the passenger airbags. May,2025, went into Honda and they they did not have the parts and there ...

Did mine today. Wonder if emgee has done his or is he waiting till the last minute. Tried to tax our new ecar but it is already taxed till 2045.

Happy New Year to all members. Thanks Dominic for running the forum for another year. Can't believe it is 9 years since Jim retired from running CL.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas. We're having a quiet one, with just one neighbour coming in for Christmas Day dinner. Rachel comes out on Sat/ early Sunday morning for a week so no doubt she'll keep us busy. She's doing the iron man in Copengagen in the summer and has already begun her trai...

Just read that easyjet are opening 2 new routes from Liverpool, Paphos and Lisbon, from August. Will give us, from North Wales, a bit more choice. One year our daughter flew into Larnaca on easyjet because it was a lot cheaper than Manchester to Paphos. https://theguideliverpool.com/easyjet-has-anno...

Felt another short tremor at 11:30am, Thursday. Was sat on a dining room chair and this time it was like a very short rocking motion.

Have felt 2 so far here in Anarita. Glasses rattled in cupboard and windows shook. Thankfully no new cracks on inside and outside of house o on our tiles.

Going to see Dr Nicholas, formally of We Care but now at the Iasis tomorrow for our flu jab. Last year he recommended a one month interval between our flu and Covid jabs.

I'm sure your pension providors will be glad to know you are still alive.

RIP Max. Enjoyed reading all of his posts. He was very knowlegable about solar energy and did a lot of work in the office at Greenair. Gave me advice when we installed solar in the UK. Will miss his posts.

Before we bought, in 2004, whilst on holiday, we were taken round Paphos by a rep from a certain developer who advertises on buses. We were told, whilst driving up to Woolworth's roundabout (Debenhams and now Era) that all of the land on the right belonged to them and a new, modern city was going to...

Wind power needs to be expanded.I ride a bike so am aware how many windy days there are and you would be surprised. The turbines at Kouklia turn the majority of days during autumn, winter and spring. I think it needs expanding, alongside much more use of solar and batteries.

As I said, I am not a mathematician or statistician and my figures are probably very crude. We still have 9 years to go on our Net Metering contract and as long as EAC honour it, we would not need a battery. However, when the time comes, and we go onto Net Billing, a battery seems to be the way forw...

In the UK we have Net Billing, similar to the system EAC have introduced. However, with a wide range of suppliers and smart meters being readily available,we can choose time based tariffs whch give us a good return for our surplus energy. We currently get £0.31 per Kwh for export between 4pm and 7pm...

Not an Anker one, but a stores own make, just like all the technology products they sell.

Even at the new charges per Kwh, we are still on a winner with our PV panels. Ours paid for themselves within 6 years. We have an e car ordered, a VW ID3, and Greenair have fitted a Huwaii charger for us, which draws electric for charging from all 3 phases, so we will be using up some of our surplus...

I realised that Dominic. Tried to delete the post but failed so edited instead. Getting a bit paranoid about scams since our AMEX card was used for transactions we didn't authorise. However, AMEX were on the ball and stopped money being taken from our account.

A couple of years ago I bought a power bank from a certain very large store in Paphos Mall. Have only used it a couple of times and charged it probably once or twice. Bought mainly to charge my back radar light and my garmin watch if I go on a long bike ride. Today noticed it had expanded considerab...

Just going to have a look at the Paphos Life forum. However, needed to log in. Logged in, password saved by google and a pop up appeared from Microsoft wanting to verify it was me, and wanting to know my Microsoft PIN. Crossed the pop up twice, without putting my pin in, and then the pop up did not ...
