New Radio Station

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...

Evangelismos official update

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...

Re: Fedex

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.

Where have all the frogs gone?

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...

Re: Wheelchair

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!

Re: Cordless vacuum cleaners ...

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...

Excellent Builder/Decorator

We had to have some complicated building repair work on the exterior of our house as well as wanting two bedrooms decorated.
