Re: Trump's Wall!

And why do you ask, Termites Dream? Are you for or against the wall. Personally I am against it. It makes no sense. If you actually look at illegal immigrant figures, they are steadily decreasing year on year in the US. The wall is a smokescreen to keep people occupied and less interested in other m...

Re: Gold.....!!!!??

Is this like your white one Max? I have seen similar in sulphur mines surrounding pyrite, but that stuff disolves to the touch whereas this stuff withstood the scrubbing brush I just used on it. No green stuff though. There was a lot of this white stuff where I found it. Stop me if I am getting too ...

Re: This man is an idiot!

I think all men think with their John Thomas. Or at least have two brains. But the smarter men know that a fine wine is better than a bottle of Appletize.

Re: This man is an idiot!

And they are idiots too. :lol:

The saddest conversation I ever overheard was back in the UK in a gym changing room. Some men were sat there discussing their mail-order brides, and bemoaning the fact that they didn't think the women actually loved them.

Well what did they expect?

I don't think it feeds Evretou does it? I think it feeds Argaka. There is certainly a pipe between the two.

And just had a powercut as a result. Rather sweet. Had to resort to playing my old guitar until the power came back.

The weather matrix (with data still inexplicably from Weather Underground) tells a different story:

And it looks like there may be snow in Polemi tomorrow!

Re: Huge hailstorm!

We were at the dentist when it happened, but observed what looked like piles of snow on the back road into Polemi.

Played some pooh sticks on the new river. :)

Troodos in Winter - 2019

Yesterday (Saturday 5th Jan) we took our annual visit to the Troodos, for fun in the snow. It was really cold so if you are planning a visit wrap up warm, and don't forget a carrot for your snowman. Also, check first, because according to the latest news (Sunday 6th Jan @4PM), the roads are now clos...

Re: Troodos Winter Wonderland

Glad you liked it. There is more footage but snow kept landing on the lens so it got more distorted. I will try and salvage the bit where we went through Troodos Village though, as people will find that interesting. As I said on fb, I forgot to put my gloves on while I filmed this, and my hands near...
