Re: Rain is on the way, along with drop in temperature

Our dog Daisy hates thunder, twin cabs, shotguns etc. we tried various medications which had some effect eventually. Last month our vet recommended a “calm collar” and so far, so good. It needs to be changed monthly.

Re: Urgent Document to UK

Received at Larnaca lunchtime on Monday 24th. Item delivered mid-morning Tuesday 25th. Pretty impressive and thus highly recommended.

Re: Urgent Document to UK

Thanks for your input. I went to ACS in Polis to send the document. €25.80 … ouch. But no document then no teacher’s pension.

Re: Bluetooth headphones connection to TV

It seems the common problem is with the latency of the devices. Even the highly recommended TaoTronics Bluetooth stereo wireless transmitter has latency issues so that watching television programmes and films is not viable.

Arising from your “throne”

This may be old news for some of the more senior members of the forum, but I have found it life changing. In the last couple of years I have felt slightly uneasy about getting up from our rather low pedestal lavatories. Perhaps I no longer have the strength to do this without thinking. We investigat...

Bluetooth headphones connection to TV

I was bought a lovely pair of Bluetooth headphones for my birthday and they pair simply and seamlessly with my iPad. However I cannot pair them with the television as the TV set does not have Bluetooth. I have read that you can buy a “Bluetooth transmitter” to plug into the television so that the he...

Re: Doctor visit and Safe Pass

I was at Blue Cross on Friday for an appointment with my gastroenterologist. I offered my Safe Pass to the lady on the door, who said it was no longer required. I had previously telephoned to ask whether I needed a rapid test and was told I didn’t need it for an outpatient appointment.

Traffic confusion in Paphos

Having recently had a couple of awful visits to Paphos with roadworks, blocked roads and the like, I was wondering whether it is possible to drive down the Mesogi Road from the Tsada direction, and get to Costas’ Tyre and back without doing a grand tour of Paphos?

Re: Feral cats again!

Our two rescue cats regularly display rats they have killed on our terrace. Not nice but better than rats in the garden.

Re: Central Paphos and Old Town

How many miles of roadworks are there with no one working on them? No wonder it is taking for ever to complete. I find driving in Paphos to be an absolute nightmare, and all those little concrete bollards. It’s like something out of a science fiction film.

Re: Infomir Mag boxes

Fascinating stuff from my IPTV provider, who does not allow Formuler boxes because https://www.broadbandtvnews.com/2019/01/28/infomir-wins-copyright-protection-decision-in-germany/ So a new Mag box will be required. Only decision is whether to go with 520 series or 540 series. Thanks to all who have...

Re: Infomir Mag boxes

I have been using the same provider for years and am delighted with the service. His IPTV is only available on Mag boxes, hence my original question. I don't think that's the case. Formuler boxes' "My tv online" includes reception via mac address exactly the same as mag boxes Could you ex...
