Re: Royalty

I won't comment on the Spanish situation as I know nothing about it. However, given that the Epstein affair is still ongoing in the courts, it is too soon to say. As an aside, why was Bill Wyman never arrested? Didn't Mandy Smith admit to having under-age sex with him? As for prince Andrew,his disa...

Re: Royalty

You have got to be kidding. You speak of history, but perhaps you should study it a bit more? This is small beer compared to some of the shenanigans royalty has got up to over the ages. I agree with you Dominic, Royalty got away with so much nasty evil stuff,that I would need a week or two to post ...

Cyta service is second to none, ring them up with a problem with your internet, and they will talk you through it with patience , and understanding over and over until the problem is solved, cant recommend them enough.

Re: Parliament votes tougher fines for drivers

Ahhh, the SBA is a totally different board game. You mainly find SBA speed traps by the tunnel and I always slow down to 80KPH going through there as the sign says and also stick to the speed limits in SB areas. I think it was five speed traps I went through doing 116 going to and from Limmasol on ...

Re: Parliament votes tougher fines for drivers

I set mine at 116 KPH and been through lots of speed traps and never been stopped. It's as Kansas said, the police allow up to 120 according to my Cypriot relations that's why you see most Cypriots going over the speed limit, especially commercial vehicles. Many countries do that, go the UAE the sp...

How would you know?, unless someone told you.

The max speed is 100, where do you get 120

I have been given a ticket for doing 110, all this 120 before you get a ticket is an urban myth.

Re: Inexpensive seller of nuts and seeds?

There is a nut factory here in larnaca Amalia, they will sell to you, but it has to be a large amount, we went once, but we ended up eating double our usual amount, just trying to get through them before the expiry date was up, and if I remember, although we got a discount, it wasnt that much.

Re: Church bells to toll for five minutes as prayers held at Hagia Sophia

WHL I dont think so, have you read, Constantinople, The Last Great Siege of 1453, very interesting book by Roger Crawley. The fall of Constantinople was down to the Schism between the Greek Orthodox and Catholic Churches. The Pope offered help (with conditions of course) but this was refused becaus...

Re: Church bells to toll for five minutes as prayers held at Hagia Sophia

The Greek Orthodox Church hierarchy alone lost Agia Sophia and Constantinople to the East in 1453. In fact it was mainly Italians who defended the city while the Archbishops knelt in Agia Sophia praying for deliverance rather than agree to a compromise with the Pope. Jim I think that is a tad simpl...

Eudogan has no need for more mosques, during his leadership he has built thousands of new mosques in Turkey and abroad, what this has to do with is his dream of turning turkey into an Islamic republic modeled on Iran, By turning Ayia Sophia into a mosque it is just another chipping away and undoing ...

I called my gym and they didn´t even know whether you´d have to. It´s a bit unpractical when doing a workout /showering/swimming.
You got to be on a wind up surely :lol:
