Paphos Life

Yep. For me and Him Indoors ANW in Tremithousa were the most genuine and honest people you could happen upon. Their way of doing business was also genuine and honest . . . . . . both buying and selling. In our experience Simon Emery was certainly very good at selling cars. When we left Paphos we got...

Thank you Bozzy for taking the time and effort to let us all know.

He certainly came across as a guy who loved Paphos and surrounding areas with a true passion.

So sorry to hear this news. X

Was that like the stuff my Dad used to put on his hair Trev? Bryl cream? I used to call it Brillo Cream when I was a bairn.

I cannot believe where this memory came from but, . . . . . . . .are your friends looking for 'antimacassars????' I mean, where did that word even come from?

Lots on Amazon.

I flew back from Thailand to the UK once and it was total anarchy. There was a huge food fight at one point. Garuda Airlines - they were spectacularly bad. They cancelled one flight and put all the passengers on another flight, with no thought for who was sitting where. So people all over the plane...

Yep, I thought that too Shane.

I just dont have a sense of humour where snakes are concerned!

Nope Dominic. . . . . . .for me . . . . . This thread, right from the title, was ALL about a snake in the living room!

The exclamation mark was the clue for me.

Our last dog was named Beardie. When we rescued him off the street his outstanding feature was a white lower jaw the rest being black. I was lucky enough to meet Beardie and he was a beautiful gentle giant. X My last 'beloved ' dog WAS a Beardie named Sprocket (Fraggle Rock). He was well behaved, b...

It appears being late to the party is the order of the day then ;-) :lol: :lol: :lol: Methinks you're being a bit of an upstart Jules!!! I soooooo remember visiting the General when we lived in Paphos. Having little conversations in my head. . . . . . . . "Why are there ten people going into t...

It is just simply beautiful.

I look at the investment in a different light. I have a 5.5 Kw system and paid about 6.5K for it. I now look on the money spent as written off. My bi-monthly bills are about €64, I now don't have the worry of massive bills coming in which used to happen in the past. If I recoup the outlay all well ...

Any news on Caesar folks?

I remember recommending Eye Contact to Trev and Hilary many many years ago whilst we lived in Cyprus. It's got to be said - we found them completely by accident. At the time, I had heard of Multifocal contact lenses. To me, that was a complete no brainer and I had to find someone who would give me t...

Yep Dominic. Good clean dirt never hurt nobody.

And Smudger, I agree wholeheartedly with your comments too.
