Re: Upgrade offer from Cobalt

I just signed up for this card and the main cardholder pays Eu150 and each additional family card is Eu75. You get priority check in, 40kg bag allowance on every flight and 10% discount on all tickets. 3 upgrades per year. It’s a good deal in my opinion and I just booked to fly from Dublin to Abu Dh...

Re: Paphos seeks to tackle visual pollution

Be nice if the “Golden Arches” and a certain three letter chicken outlet could be removed. They are a real eyesore and unfortunately visible for miles

Re: Old RAF Planes

You can get quite close to the Shackletons on the road near the Sewerage plant but there are two quite aggressive dogs in a nearby farm. Don;t ask me how I know this ;-}

Re: Advice please. New laptop needed. What is best Apple Macbook or Apple MacBook Air, or a new Microsoft Laptop?

My main laptop is a 2011 Macbook Air and its still going strong. In that Timeframe Windows laptops have changed the User interface FOUR times Win7, Win8, Win8.1 and Win 10. Each upgrade requires more Horespower in terms of CPU and Ram and they really want you to buy a new Laptop with each upgrade. I...

Re: Diving company recommendation?

I can also recommend Cydive, I have used them regularly over the last 20 years and have always had a good experience. The Zenobia is one of the great dive sites but an Advanced Open Water Qualification is a must.

Re: Aerial pictures of Paphos 1988

We bought off plan in 1983 out near where capital coast is now and there was nothing out there at all at the time. I will have to dig out the old photos of the site and the "uninterrupted " sea views. We were told at the time that nothing would be built between the road and the sea as it w...

Re: Offroading Fun

A must have for offroading here in the UAE is a Kinetic Snatch rope. It allows the towing vehicle to snatch the stuck vehicle out of the sand or whatever hole it might be in. Ordinary tow ropes just snap under the strain. https://www.amazon.com/KINETIC-RECOVERY-Snatch-MILITARY-GRADE-BLACK/dp/B004W3P...
