Re: Wizz air

I always thought that Wizz was a Polish outfit, but it is actually a private Hungarian airline formed (phoenix-like) from the collapse of the state carrier Malev. A bit like Cyprus Airways becoming Cobalt. I know many people who have flown Wizz to Europe out of LTN and never heard a single complain...

Re: Wizz air

I flew Wizz Air from Larnaca to Sofia in March and they were absolutely OK. No frills, but no problems either. Food and drink was available, seats were OK, check-in procedure was fine, customer service was fine, flight was on time. I had no problem navigating the website, didn't end up with anything...

Re: Mountain bike gears

Could have sworn I posted this yesterday, but I had my bike serviced and generally overhauled after a winter of neglect by

Karamanis Bicycle
Griva Digeni 44, Yeroskipou, Cyprus

Only a small place, but they did a great job. Nice guy too.

Re: Sunshine radio 2018 News

You may find the broadcast is blocked during the game. I know BBC Radio Oxford is and that you can only listen to the football commentary if you're withing the local FM broadcast area. There's an app called iFollow via which you can watch or listen live (for a fee of course), but we're League One so...

Re: D-link router security system

I have a setup similar to your second paragraph where I have an Asus router connected to my Cyta router via D-Link powerline adaptors. I route all my wifi through the Asus rather than the Cyta router simply because it has a better range and I can locate it more centrally, and everything works perfec...

Re: Sailing Yacht 'A'

I actually saw Yacht "A" in Cartegena earlier this year moored just behind this one. I thought it was a Bond Villains convention!

Re: Is the tide finally turning?

Well, no not a good post really. You still to be under the misapprehension that two disparate sets of people can suddenly work together for the winning side, and all I'm saying is that what you think people should do and what people are likely to do are quite different. This is my opinion. Oh, and &...

@Amos, Jon

But human nature doesn't work like that. Surely you can't expect nearly 50% of the voters to suddenly change their mind?

Shock Absorbers

I need to replace the front shock absorbers on my car (Merc B150). Any recommendations for someone to supply and fit some decent after-market replacements other than Mercedes themselves? Not that they can't do it of course, but it's a hell of a price. Peyia/Kissonerga/Chrorokas side preferable but n...

Re: iPhone internet problem

I think you'll find that the "E" refers to the Mobile Data connection speed (Edge) rather than the mobile phone carrier signal and In terms of mobile data, Edge is about the lowest connection speed there is. If you are showing "MTN" then surely you are connected to their mobile n...
