Re: Paphos Life Picnic Appeal

How wonderful. Wish I had been here for the exhibition itself. As Mark says, makes me want to donate further which I will certainly do it the target doesn't look like being achieved.

Re: Smart phones

I read about the perceived security risk with the Huwawei infrastructure equipment as referenced in this article some time ago. Infrastructure equipment is a very different thing to a smartphone, so in the meantime I will continue to use my Huwawei P10 Lite, probably the best value-for-money phone I...

Re: Motor insurance-Golf Societies.

Hi Barry For the record I use Atlantic insurance, but more importantly, despite Mr Twain's misguided opinion, it is definitely worth contacting the Paphos Golfers Association who are a great group of people (me included) and are probably just what you're looking for. https://www.cgf.org.cy/paphos-go...

Re: Viewpoint: UK will Exit EU with no deal

What I mean is you can discuss and debate all you like, but it won't change my view, especially with the kind of statements Hudswell is peddling. That's neither a discussion point or a debate. The Brexit result is in the past, so what's to discuss? Whether it's a good or bad thing? Who knows? Nobody...

Re: Viewpoint: UK will Exit EU with no deal

I don't normally comment on Brexit (despite being British, I wasn't allowed to vote, but that's another argument) or politics in general, but I don't think I've read such conspiracy-theory-fuelled garbage in my life. No, it doesn't sound familiar. You're effectively saying that the UK was the only t...

Re: Best Free Antivirus

Am I the only person who uses Microsoft Security Essentials (Win 7)? Windows 7? yes you probably are the one of the few. :) Problems free now at a small cost (Kaspersky), well worth it even for Win7. if supported of course. I've actually never had any problems, so I'm happy to stick with MSE.

Re: Nord VPN

I was feeling a little guilty as I did recommend it, so just as a test, I installed Nord on my wife's laptop, connected to the UK, installed Opera browser (just to be sure I had a clean cache), logged into bbc.co.uk and have managed to open the first two programs I tried (QI and A Very British Scand...

Is anyone using Nord VPN and watching the iPlayers through it.? And more importantly how easy is it to install ? Yes, I've been using it for a few years. No complaints - easy to install, easy to use, plenty of servers world-wide, dedicated app for Android (don't have i-anything so can't tell you ab...
