Others have had the same problem and it will accept 22/09/2020 even thou...

Re: North Cyprus to reopen beach

Erdogan has used a stick to awaken the seemingly dead GC government into life. Maybe, just maybe, it might work. Don't understand what you are trying to say? Cyprus has been under Turkeys stick for fifty years, other then asking the UN to tell Turkey they are in breach, of UN resolutions, what else...

If I'd seen your post earlier I could have referred you to someone who kindly loaned one for my friend after her replacement knee op. The person is located not far from you actually!

Re: MEU3 query

If it's been more than 6 months since making the application you should phone the office in Nicosia to make sure they have it & if they had, has it been approved and posted to you.

Re: Maximum co payment

I unfortunately have reached the €150 mark for this year, and since that day in early September have not had to pay for anything; consultants, diagnostics, prescriptions, etc.. So I need to get fully fit by 31 Dec 2020. :D :lol:

Re: UK Still in Category B! (Oct 6th)

No tree last forever. Like us they will die, but before they collapse & fall causing damage, they are euthanised (cut down)!

Re: Large bush fire to the east of Tala..

Indeed the choppers were backwards & forwards over Kissonerga many times with what look like tiny buckets to douse the fires. I saw the start of the first fire, followed minutes later by the second, much larger blaze! These fires in recent day must surely have been the work of an arsonist.

But you would not use a credit card to get 'moneyback'. It would be treated the same as you withdrawing cash at an ATM. Expensive!

Re: New Radio Station

All new radio stations start up with very little advertising, but as the station grows, so will the advertising (usually). It costs money to run a station and adverts help pay the bills.

Re: Coronavirus: tourism industry, in letter to president, pleads for easing of restrictions
