Re: Tv licence

No, but when I lived in the UK I would listen to the radio a lot, and do use their website as a news and sports result source.

Re: New Laptop

I like Dominic's suggestion about an SSD as you can now get them at very good prices on Amazon, but who would fit and set it up here if you did not buy it from them ? I would ask Computer SOS. If you don't ask, you won't know. Something gone odd here, my post is missing but here is a quote from it ...

Re: New Laptop

I'm not saying they aren't useful. I was pointing out to Dee that people make a living out of sorting out probelms people have with Apple as well.

Re: New Laptop

Hudswell, Thats what I would like. Much prefer the Apple operating system. I find Microsoft can be a pain, the number of people who can make a living sorting out problems which people seem to have with their Microsoft computers using windows software, must be an indication. Though I appreciate that...

Abandoned Villages - Trozena

If you've driven over the iron bridge which lies just beyond the abandoned village of Gerovasa, near the outskirts of Paphos Forest, then you will also have driven past the abandoned village of Trozena. Unless you are very observant, you won't have noticed it though, as it is barely visible from the...

Re: Electricity Charges and Pool pump

Green Air now have a solution that works with your existing pool pump. You have, say 4 panels, and they power the pump directly. Plus, as they are not connected to the grid, the installation process is a lot more simple. If you look on their directory entry you will find more information in the WHAT...

Perhaps if you all listed your extras you can compare notes and see what is being charged for?

That would indicate that you have logged out of facebook. Are you in an incognito window or something?

You shouldn't have to "log in" to it. You should just be able to go to it.

Re: An Event Reminder

Thanks Dominic will give it go. Does it remind you of events every time you boot up? That's what I'm looking for JB was thinking the same myself. It came with the package but will rely on microsoft security as they seem to have us by the ba**s I don't know. You can set it to remind you anything fro...

We only have the fan on at night in summer. Mind you, in Polemi it isn't humid like what you get in Paphos.

Dont be daft, the Peasants will happily, dig deeper for any more royal sprogs.
When it Comes to the Royal family, you two are as boring as you are predictable! And if you want to continue that particular argument it is in the pit.

Re: New Laptop

I've been working in I.T since the 80s, and I've used just about all the manufacturers in that time. My opinion as to who is best shifts over time. I used to swear by Toshibas, then I swore at them. Same for Compaq, Dell, Asus etc etc etc. As Princebytor says, the devil is in the detail. Normally yo...

Re: New Laptop

We bought a laptop in Cyprus and have had no problems. Price wasn't bad either. We shopped around. There are bargains out there if you look, and you get a warranty you can actually claim on. If you have a warranty repair on a UK bought bit of kit you are pretty much stuffed. However, if you are goin...

Re: Electricity Charges and Pool pump

The pump was apparently 13 years old so had had a good innings, did run dry as well as seal had gone and impeller broke plus there was a fire in the solar electricity box all very exciting at the time as was the noise from the pump room. New pump circa €2,800 on Amazon hence landlord not over eager...
