Re: British TV reception this afternoon

Was speaking to my neighbour again this morning.
Turns out it's not a MAG box they have it's one of those streaming boxes, probably best described as a Kodi box.

Anyone have any knowledge?

Re: British TV reception this afternoon

She was complaining her MAG box wasn't working, I'd said it probably just needed updating by Premier Electrical due the length of time it's been lying unuse...

Re: Heart in mouth

A couple of years before the incident I posted above, two colleagues were also killed by a drunk driver who took the wrong turning. The two boys were in an armoured, reinforced, firearms vehicle and ended up trapped and burned to death.

Horrible.

Re: Heart in mouth

Hope not, a friend of mines sister was killed in exactly those circumstances. Also, I was on the M8 heading out of Glasgow about 2:30am having worked a twelve hour shift, the road was dead when I realised that there was a car traveling at high speed towards me on the same side of the road. There was...

Transfer of vehicle ownership

Hi looking for some advice.

I was looking to buy a car in Cyprus.

I have found one belonging to a friend of a friend and agreed on a price etc.

Can anyone advise on the simplest way to transfer ownership, the current owner and I are both in the UK.

Re: Speed Cameras

No points as far as I can see on the form, but I picked up two points and a hundred euro fine when I parked on the opposite side of the road, in a parking bay with money put in the meter. Wow, I didnt realise you could get a fine for that, I will have to stop doing that pronto :( Yep, I didn't know...

Thanks, he's one of the places I've been looking at, but I won't be out until early September.

Re: Garden Umbrella

If it's not damaged and just dirty you can take the cover off and wash on the machine.

I did ours last year and it came up fine.

Re: Restaurant Recommendations

Can't speak for Polis area I'm afraid, the Moorings on Posidonous Avenue (the main road along the seaside) in Paphos has a large enclosed play area and the food is relatively good. There are also a couple of beach bar type places between Coral Bay and the Sea Caves which have play areas, I've only e...
