Re: First time I could contribute to the Municipality's water problem..

The buggers respond to being swatted and if their mates arrive then you can be in trouble. I know someone who had a severe reaction to multiple sting...

Re: Possible rain on Monday
We had rain here north of Ayia Napa on August 10 last year and because it was the same date also on Aug 10 2008. Sad I know but I remember the dates because of picking up family from Larnaca airport.

Re: Huge Explosion In Beirut
To get back to could you feel the explosion here in Cyprus, then as some others have reported 100% yes.

Re: DRIVING IN SANDALS
I had a very close friend who was killed in a road accident when the driver of the hired minibus he was in could not press the brake pedal to the floor as one of his flip-flops had slid underneath.
