Re: Mag box issues

Interesting your comments regarding the Amazon fire stick , I have friends who have a holiday home in Spain and they were saying how good the firestick was . I assume it’s more than just plugging it in ?

Re: Mag box issues

I struggled last year with my state of the ark mag box which I believe is 8 years old. My TV supplier is recommending the 520 model but they are trialing the 522 model. The price of the 520 box on eBay is around £90 and a £100 for the 522. I am assuming that the newer the box the more reliable the c...

Due to the lack of links in England I had to travel to Scotland to play . The game is very intense and can last thr...

Re: No Isolation

One thing that is very rarely mentioned is the virtual non existence of the flu virus here in the U.K. , is that because we have all been wearing masks ?

Re: Seaweed on sea front

I guess if you have to use a large amount of fresh water to remove the salt then it becomes uneconomic.

Re: Seaweed on sea front

Digressing a little I always thought that seaweed made a great compost for gardens etc but it appears that the seaweed they are removing cannot be used for this purpose and ends up as landfill.

Re: I need to establish...am I dead or alive?

In my twenties I worked for a U.K. insurance company in Nigeria and we received a letter from a client advising us “ I regret to announce that I had a fatal motor cycle accident and wish to claim on my life policy “ . The Nigerian staff were amused by this letter so I suggested we responded with our...

Blown double glazed window.

Wonder if anyone can help, I noticed that one one of the double glazed units in my apartment had blown and can anyone recommend where to get it replaced . The unit can be removed and is small enough to take to a repairer if necessary .

Thanks. Terry.

The only problem was checking in , I happened to be the first to check in and was asked why I had no paperwork for the pre departure test .

Re: Travelling from Cyprus to U.K. from 4th October

Thank you Photolady , I had trawled a number of times through the easyJet website and did not find that information . My concern was that easyJet sent me a message reminding me to take the pre departure test despite the fact I was travelling on the 4th .
Thanks again.
