Paphos Life

I don't know what all the fuss is regarding giving passports in exchange for investment. You can get such a passport in the following EU countries: Austria, Belgium, Portugal, Malta, Spain, Latvia, United Kingdom, Cyprus, Greece, and Bulgaria. They are also available from Jersey and Monaco. Although...

I also live in Emba, have my post delivered to my house, and have had no problems receiving post from within Cyprus and from the UK. Do you have it delivered to your house or a PO box?

The real miracle is people believing this nonsense. She happened to find some remains. That's all.

Exactly. My reading of the original facebook post and the Cyprus Mail article leads me to believe there is more to this than meets the eye. It would be inadvisable to make assumptions at the moment.

Excellent place. Good food, fair price, and nice people.

The Americans are always spouting nonsense along the lines of "guns don't kill people, people do". As has already been said above, that doesn't seem to work in Cyprus and Switzerland where nearly all men have a military service rifle at home, and don't have the massacres. When the American...

Perhaps Israel ought to try negotiating with the Palestinians for a change, rather than killing them (including women and children), bulldozing their houses, and building settlements on their land.
But of course we all know they won't.

If you want to get away from the tourist offerings and try really good food, try these: Name: Koutourou Location: Just off the roundabout with the fountain down towards the Bishopric from the Town Hall.

As with everywhere else, the first stop should be seeking advice from the Mukhtar. Before you ask, yes Paphos does have one. Mukhtars have considerable power should they choose to use it, and a word from them seems to resolve most things.

Could be anyone in Peyia Alan.

I agree. The Anastasiades administration have sorted out the mess left by the previous administration, and dealt with some of the corruption in high circles. However, it doesn't look like the reunification talks were well handled. Personally I think that a group of yia yias from both communities cou...

Nobody will ever build a bridge over the channel. Think about it, the distance is just over 20 miles. The longest bridge over water in the world only spans an 8 mile stretch (although another 14 miles is over land). It would cost a fortune, shut down in bad weather, and would be at risk of giant shi...

One point on UK NI contributions. When this is deducted from your salary, assuming you are on PAYE, it is put together with all the other employees' NI and tax deductions and sent to the inland revenue. It is just another tax and is not linked to the NHS in any way. On a different tak, I suspect tho...

This news article is "fake news" to use the current phrase. 1. UK ex-pats in the EU can use the NHS. See the regulation stated above. 2. Asylum seekers with an outstanding application for refuge in the UK are entitled to use NHS services without charge. 2. Illegal immigrants don't use the ...

It's still broadcasting on the internet as I type.

I understand that, following the medical, his proctologist confirmed Trump's brain was in full working order.

As an interim you could always watch Cypriot TV. All you need is TV aerial on the roof. In fact I use an indoor aerial next to the TV and get excellent sound and picture (it depends where you are, of course). There are over a dozen channels on the terrestrial service, all free of charge. Of course, ...

Not so green as he's cabbage-looking.

It's brass monkeys out there.

All fur coat and no knickers.

She's no better than she should be.

Happy new year from me as well.
