Re: Safe Covid vaccine they say but are they sure?

By the time each vaccine arrives in Cyprus it will be tried and tested and people who want to have the vaccination will be more than happy with whichever is on offer as each one will have been approved by the medical world.

Re: mag420

Upgraded our Magbox 250 to a 420 last month and also bought a new HDMI cable.

Re: Blood results

Mr Blobby - from your screenshot it looks as if the doctor requested four urine tests as the entry is under the heading 'Diagnoses. However, you should get two emails from GESY as one will be the claim from the Doctor and the second from the Laboratory carrying out the test. It is unlikely that eith...

Could it not be that the reason for a low death toll is BECAUSE of the restrictions, not in spite of them?
Taking it one step further, if people had complied with the restrictions then we wouldn't be in this situation.

Re: Shipping Tool Form

You have to describe exactly what is in the parcel ie toys, clothes, book, etc. Not looked at this particular method but usually you have to enter the total value of the items. If there is something in the parcel that is not listed and subsequently opened and checked by Customs there may be a fine o...

Nasa Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover due to land on Mars 18 February

Getting excited as Perseverance Rover is due to land on Mars on 18 February.

I booked my Boarding Pass for this flight in May 2019 and the NASA's Mars 2020 Mission Perseverance Rover was launched from Cape Canaveral on 30 July 2020.

Re: Extra charge to receive money from a UK bank account?

Just been doing some more checking:

Currency Fair has its HQ in Dublin so they are also an EU country and would not be affected.

However, Currency Solutions which is another popular method of transferring funds is in London.
