The chief of police has ordered an investigation into the incident that took place on Palm Sunday at a church in Peristerona where the Bishop of Morphou held a liturgy despite a government decree banning religious congregations. Police ordered the 10 who were present, to leave. Three didn't and were...

The Pancyprian Volunteerism Coordinative Council (ΠΣΣΕ) launched on Monday a new helpline for people who belong to the vulnerable groups of the population as well as those who have developed a social vulnerability. In an announcement, the Council said that the line aims to socially strengthen the vu...

Clearly they did stay balanced on the track. A narrow-gauge railway has a track gauge narrower than standard 1435 mm (4 ft 8 1⁄2 in). Most narrow-gauge railways are between 600 mm (1 ft 11 5⁄8 in) and 1067 mm (3 ft 6 in), so at 762 mm (2 ft 6 in) the CGR was somewhere in the middle of the range. The...

That's a very good question Devil.

Ah, shame, that was my only bit of excitement when going shopping once in a while, to check out the non-food items while my OH shopped so we could buy items keep ourselves occupied with jobs at home. However, I can see the reasoning behind it. According to my sister-in-law her local B & Q in th...

Paps in Chlorakas yesterday! I wasn't aware that selling these was banned.

No hyperlink as that is illegal. Have a look here gamingzion.com/cyprus/lotto/lotto-sites/

I'm guessing the Pafos Police have a good idea where they expect to find those that transgress. That could explain the regular low number of inspections. If anyone in the police read this forum, perhaps they could shed a little light on this.

Trev, I'm not so sure they would, as clearly there's not too much grey matter there!

This is not a clip you see too often on YouTube, but two very young talented singers

Just shows how things on here can easily be misunderstood.

Garden Centres are OPEN for business. I wonder if the police will regard visiting there as an abuse of the system? They shouldn't, otherwise the government should have told them to close! The UK government however, did close down Garden Centres, deeming them non essential.

Great pics Max, but my moon was most definitely BLUE
