Re: Blind People

No, unlike you, I don't keep a record chapter and verse! I think that brief mention was made in the paper. But I heard it by word of mouth from someone who helped in one of the rescue dog charity centres. I also had dogs of my own then, so was well up in what was going on in the field of animal wel...

These dogs are supposed to live in the house, but this poor dog was kept outside, tied to a washing line and generally abused. The charitable concern who was hoping to use ...

Re: Tom Jones has still got it.

True story my mate and his wife were at a concert of his in vegas some years ago, I think it was at the MGM, at the MGM they had small tables in front of you for your drinks, in front of the stage halfway through the show, the biggest bra you ever saw, flew over my mates head and landed on their tab...

Re: Shells, corals and more, 3.5 million years BP in Cyprus

Cheers max, I will certainly take a bit more interest the next time im walking along a beach I haven't seen any shells on beaches in Cyprus - maybe too warm a sea now for shellfish?

Re: Amazon UK

VAT is not the problem, it is very late and maybe lost items ordered from both outlets, in these times relying on the awful postage systems here and the lack of mail flying in maybe best to avoid on line buying for now at least. Dont blame the Cyprus postal service here, for your delays, there's a ...

Re: Amazon UK

Have ordered several items from Amazon DE, but the delivery costs are much higher than Amazon UK. Has anyone ordered from the UK since Brexit, and if so, is import duty charged? Many thanks in advance. Although you are ordering from Amazon Germany, the goods might be coming in from outside the EU, ...
