GESY login problem

I've not had any reason to sign onto my GESY account for a few months but I'm now getting an error when I try to access it. The opening screen remembers our sign-on details but when I click Login I get a screen with Oracle Access Manager and system error.

Has anyone else encountered this?

Re: Chaos with SafePass on first day of implementation

We went to the coffee shop in Slevenitis (used to be Carrefore). We were asked to show our passes before we entered. The lady was apologetic that this had to be done but very polite. No problem at all.....

Memory Foam Mattress + electric blanket

I know it's far too hot to talk about electric blankets, but we're in the process of buying a new mattress. We've never had a memory foam mattress so would be interested in hearing the pros and cons about them. For example, are they hot in the summer? We love our electric blanket but we've been told...

Re: Memory Foam Mattress

We also need a new mattress. We popped into Steptoes a couple of days ago. They said they will be getting new stock in from the end of July.

Re: Operations on Gesy and costs

I had a biopsy to rule out giant cell arteritis at the Hippocratic Clinic which is also GESY. I paid €6 to the surgeon and it cost us €120 to 'rent' the operating room for 15 minutes.

Polymyalgia Rheumatica

Interested to know if there's anyone on Paphos Life who suffers from Polymyalgia Rheumatica and is trying to taper off Prednisolone?

If so, would love to hear from you, and ask how you do it when we can only get 5mg tablets here in Cyprus.

Thanks

Dominic,
Like you, we have seen and admired the church from afar for a number of years. After watching your recent movie of the drive to the church, would you recommend we attempt it in a saloon car, or not?

Short hotel stays - government scheme

We noticed with great interest the government scheme for subsidised stays in Cyprus hotels (Cyprus Mail online today). However, when we looked at the list of participating hotels in the Protaras area there were none we recognised. Could anyone recommend a good hotel in the Protaras / Paralimni area ...

Metal Shepherds Crooks for Lanterns

We're looking for a couple of metal shepherds crooks for hanging solar lamps on. Used to see them in many of the DIY shops and Garden centres but not any more.

If anyone has see them for sale would appreciate knowing, or maybe a recommendation for a metal workshop that could make them.

Thank you
