Re: Where Am I going? ( Picture Quiz )

Rules are fine - I just can't make a word with what I get as the first letters of the pictures (or at least, 11 or the 12)
Your puzzles are excellent, BTW

Re: The first electric bus to operate in Cyprus received at Paphos

It's a shame you didn't read other parts of the article which set out the aims for this initiative which are surely commendable, not laughable. Phedonos said that the small bus would take up regular the routes in September, after the pilot runs are complete and will be of great use to the elderly th...

Re: Sunshine radio

I do something slightly different when I'm in the car - I have the TuneIn Radio app on my phone so I choose whatever station I fancy listening to and play it back on the car radio through Bluetooth.

Re: Best free Office download for windows 10

Libre Office for me too, but Open Office is also good. Can't help but think that a 5 user license for MS Office for under a tenner is definitely bending, but probably breaking, quite a few bits of the Microsoft Office license agreement!

Not at all surprised. Our favourite sausages are actually the "Snack" brand English Chipolatas which we buy in Paps.

Re: D Day

Oxfordboy No that's not what I'm saying, do not presume to put words into my mouth. What I do say is that something that happened in America should not result in violence in my country. A peaceful protest I am all for in any case of injustice. I'm presuming nothing. I was asking a question ("a...

Re: D Day

Slightly different from (allegedly) defacing a statue.

So are you saying that the global protests about the massive injustices and racism against black people should stop because of the tragic losses 75 years ago?

Re: Very poor tv reception tonight

I have the latest Triotech box which is called ' Zoomtak'. I think that it is also a Mag Box, but I have had no problem with TV reception on the 50 channels... Triotech automatically update their boxes Wirelessly as required. Dee I also have one and have no issues whatsoever, but it isn't a MAG box...

Re: Einhell Power Tools

I'm no expert in power tools and only have the essentials, but I do have an Einhell hedge trimmer which I've used several times and works perfectly. Bought from Home Market and I thought was excellent value for money.
