Paphos Life

Tuning around my car radio whilst waiting in the supermarket car park, I discovered a station giving out English new. It was VivaFM on 103.4 MHz and as I listened on, I was impressed by the music and the small number of adverts. There was also not the incessant chatter found on the other English sta...

When I left the hospital this morning following a visit to my personal doctor, I was given the following information if anyone is interested: Evangelismos Private Hospital has acquired an analyser which conducts a laboratory test to detect / identify the covid-19 virus through the PCR (molecular tes...

UPDATE AT 17.30 hrs On the orders of the Minister for Health, ALL public and private hospitals can ONLY see emergency patients. All routine operations and examinations have been postponed until a further announcement is made from the Ministry of Health. Evangelismos Hospital remains OPEN for emergen...

I understand that on the other Paphos forum there is totally incorrect information on the closure of Evangelismos Hospital. Having tried to register to refute this information, the forum does not appear to understand that in the registration "spam bot" section 2 X 2 =4!! and hence I cannot...

I have just a feeling that when Akis gave up Fedex and took on UPS, the franchise was given to ACS. I am sure I have seen the Fedex sign on their store nest to Cycleband on the Polis road.

When we came here in 2004, we had numerous Cyprus Tree Frogs not only in our garden but also in the surrounding gardens. Despite being incredibly noisy at mating time, we delighted in seeing them. For the past few years now we have not heard a single frog let alone seen any. Is this just our local a...

This is so sad. I was advertising a really good collapsible wheelchair on this forum only a couple of weeks ago and because I had no replies and needed the space, I donated it to a local hospital!

A good friend of mine is desperately trying to help a family of Syrian refugees who lost everything in the conflict. They have seven children (!) and need a child walker, cot and any children's toys. My friend has pursuaded local supermarkets to donate food tokens and she is paying for their accommo...

My wife wanted a cordless vacuum cleaner last year and we decided on a Hoover bought here. Initially suction was reasonable but after three months despite cleaning out various filters, the motor only whined and gave no suction. Replaced under guarantee, the second one lasted less than three months w...

We had to have some complicated building repair work on the exterior of our house as well as wanting two bedrooms decorated. I found SAM in the local press and not knowing anything about him asked him to undertake one job. This was done within 48 hours but what impressed my wife and I were the follo...

It depends on the antibiotic. Most dentists prescribe the anti bacterial drug called Metronidazol or Flagyl.The combination of Flagyl and alcohol can cause serious side effects including hot flashes, blood pressure changes, and liver damage. If you need to take antibiotics and plan on drinking alcoh...

Sadly we had a very similar situation about 6 weeks ago when a beautiful, gentle beagle cross bitch was left on our front door step. Having fed her she would not move and looked pregnant, PAWS was full and could take no more dogs especially if they had not been vaccinated and neither could the dog s...

Maybe you all know of it, but a new to me, (?) an English radio station with no adverts, at the moment, and very easy listening is being strongly received in the Paphos District called "My Radio" on 94.4 MHz. Perhaps a strong contender for Sunshine. I do hope, however, Sunshine will rebran...
