Re: Jim Cross

As you know, I don't post much these days but I was so saddened to hear of Jim's passing. I first met Jim on Cyprus Property Owners and I followed him to CL. He helped me get our first rental in Coral Bay in 2003 and over the years became firm friends. I was proud of the fact I went through the life...

Re: Cyprus is under winter season's respiratory infections epidemic, hospitals already full

I've been really ill with it since the beginning of November and it's completely knocked the stuffing out of me. I've gone through two sets of antibiotics and I'm still struggling to brreathe; the accompanying cough nearly turns you inside out. It's rife in the UK and our daughter arrived home from ...

Re: Paphos harbour carfree waterside promenade

I'm a bit confused, have they completely closed the promenade to traffic or as written in Dee's post made it 2 way traffic?

Re: More Requirements for Temporary Residence

Yes I should have clarified that but some of the wealthiest countries in the world do require visas. The information I provided is correct with regards to visa requirements On the Cyprus Civil Registration and Migration website it shows of the 238 countries listed only 33 don't require a Bank Guaran...

Re: More Requirements for Temporary Residence

The vast, vast majority of tourists will be staying for two weeks or less. Yes but TCNs have to get visas and even if our niece came to Cyprus for 1;week we would still have to get an €850 Bank Guarantee. If we.brought 4 over we would have to lay out €4,400 weras before it cost around €840 plus air...

Re: More Requirements for Temporary Residence

We invited our niece to come and stay with us and being a TCN we had to get her a Bank Guarantee which cost €850 plus a return ticket. It has cost her well over €300 for a visa plus expenses for DHL. She also had to show she had €5,000 in the bank which in this financial climate is not easy for a y...

Re: Router help.

Thanks but.I already have a Switch connected to the Router that is full and even have two Switches connected to that Switch that are in different parts of the house. I just need an extra ethernet port by the router and that's why I want to swop the routers. I have WiFi mesh which is excellent by the...

Router help.

I have changed my network provider and the router they provided only has three ethernet ports. The old router has four ports which I need for different equipment that doesn't run on WiFi.
How do I replace the 3 port router with the old 4 port router on the new system.
Many thanks in advance.

Jim B I would never support name calling, it's totally unjustified. However, I seem to recall that it is you that denounces anyone who disagrees with their views. It is of deep concern to myself, and many others, that terrorists live amongst us in the UK. Indeed, two of my granddaughters were at th...

Disaster? Yes! Unmitigated disaster? I doubt it very much!
I thought "unmitigated" was used correctly but I'll bow to your better judgement.
I read in Websters it means Absolute.

Re: Shamima Begum: arch villain or unwitting patsy?

I do not understand why anybody bothers to responds to Jim B - he ALWAYS bends the narrative to suit his argument, always did the same with Brexit Posts then with the UK Vaccine rollout and every topic he has cared to complain about or champion since. I have not always agreed with HIC, WHL or other...

I think you'll find Suella Braverman as AG has been involved in the Begum case but that's by the bye. Everything I've posted about the Supreme Courts decision is factual, it has NOT declared the girl stateless. Fact. Now that might not suit your narrative but it's true. As said from first post my co...
