  1. Worthless subscription then ! I’ve been using NordVPN for 5 years. I’ve only been blocked a couple of times by the BBC and Nord sorted it out within hours. Best you get an expensive deal.
  2. Those where the days. Nurses visiting the compound at the weekends. ( Having to cut the SID 3 to 1 ) Sqn Cmdr and his entourage visiting for the Disco. Pilot who was a prince inviting the Sqn to his seaside palace for BBQ.. I bought a villa in Italy on the proceeds of my Still activities.
  3. The short ride to KK takes about 3 hours.
  4. Small Jiffy bag. Mobile phone and SIM card. Battery separate. Sent Last saturday arrived this morning unopened.
  5. My son posted a small Jiffy bag containing a cheap phone and SIM card. Posted though the Post Office Track/Sign on 13th. 5 to 7 days. First they said no battery but then changed their minds. I’ll let you know if it arrives a
  6. I remember those early days. You could trawl round the monthly market towns where the pubs had a licence to serve in the afternoons.
  7. Well written piece BP. Six of one and half a dozen of the other. A sorry tale. Green Line still there and Famagusta and Nicosia Airport in ruins. I used to travel too both sides and I much preferred Kyrenia port to Limassol port.
  8. Ah, come on, tell us who you think the ‘guilty party’ is.
  9. Yes, but you’re looking at the North not South.
  10. Plus the Turks might have something to say about ham radios. They got the best side of the Island. One of my War stories. I was on duty in Operations at RAF Akrotiri on the night of the Turkish invasion. Scary times.
  11. Beware of buying in Northern Cyprus. I dabbled a few years ago but decided against it. Land and houses may be actually owned by Greek Cypriots who fled south in 1974 after the Turkish invasion. Thinks might have changed since then. I settled in Southern Italy. ( Basilicata). Houses and land are still good value. Large beer €2? Pizza €6.
  12. Thanks for that. I was just about to have sent out varies cards and a SIM card. I can manage without the cards. So will just have the SIM card sent.
  13. Thanks for that. I live near a sleepy town in the far south. I will ask a friend if he can call in and sort it out.
  14. Thanks again. Not possible I’m afraid. Villa all locked up. I have a Italian ID Card but not sufficient I think. I’ll wait for the 15th Dec to see if there is any update. There are other stipulations as well. At Rome I have to get private transport to my home ( 5 hours ) and then have to self isolate for 10 days.
