Re: Sensational Guitar Playing

Prince was absolutely stunning doing this. Not quite on a par with Hendrix at 3:30am Isle of Wight though.

My eldest brother had a birthday party whilst living in London and Neil came along and played for a while. A lovely guy sadly missed.

Re: UK passport renewal online

I have just renewed my sons passport online with the UK passport agency and was surprised that you no longer need to send a hard copy photograph but just take one yourself and attach electronically to the renewal application. Makes life easier and wondered how long this has been the case. 8-) It ha...

Re: Is Piers Morgan right or will he end up in the Tower

I am a Royalist but think , who really cares about this particular couple? I think that is a general shrinking of the core members of the dynasty and their public roles. After all, we now have the next three Monarchs in place and anyone on the perimeter of the family is superfluous.

Re: Not looking good

I do not think it will escalate any further. They have both fired weapons and now the POTUS is talking about further sanctions to bring Iran back into line.

Re: Not looking good

I used to live in pre-revolutionary Iran and had access via my Father to some really high ranking people. The Americans fostered a policy of democratisation on the Shah and that led to the rumblings of the Ayatollah Khomeini from Paris. America is not well liked in the region generally, in my view a...

What is the MEU1 ?

I am trying to claim dual nationality under M123 but do not seem to elicit a response from the Ministry, mind you, Christmas did intervene. I will check up with my lawyer when in Paphos next week.

Temporary Residency or Dual Nationality

Hi, We have purchased a home in Neo Chorio and for the first year we expect to be using the 90 day rule. However, I wondered if there was any advice regarding temporary residency and securing it. I also have the potential ability to claim Dual nationality via birth in Nicosia prior to 1960, however,...

Re: Erdogan....Turkey

Erdogan is trying to distract attention away from his falling popularity at home by indulging in grandiose foreign policy moves. the new Mayor of Istanbul is the real threat to Erdogan. What astonishes me is the complete lack of a robust challenge from both the EU and the UK, particularly as a Guara...
