  1. If ever there was a time for me to play one for me , I think it is now. Lol Always Look On The Bright Side of Life.    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHPOzQzk9Qo
  2. Further to the OP , the bank accounts will now stay frozen till next Tuesday ....watch this space.
  3. [quote user="honeybee"]Very interesting, Krusty. Are you in Cyprus? If so, what is the mood there? And is there money in the ATMs? Seems like fifty shades of Argentina[/quote] Yes I am still in CY , there is still cash in the ATMs and they appear to be refilling them . As can be expected most people are hopping mad and threatening to empty thier accounts when the banks reopen.
  4. This is interesting from Febuary . The Lying Dutchman. AP) -- For a second day in a row, the European Union's top financial official sought Tuesday to quash speculation that private bank depositors in Cyprus might be forced to take losses as part of a bailout deal — a suggestion that's fueled fears of large-scale withdrawals from the country's troubled banks http://finance.yahoo.com/news/official-eu-not-working-private-150614212.html
  5. [quote user="Frederick"] Now somebody convince me it wont happen anywhere else in  EU now its been introduced for Cyprus [/quote]   It is not official here in Cyprus yet , parliament have to approve it , meeting tomorrow.
  6. Bonjour people , thank you for thinking of me. As you would expect this is the number one topic this weekend. Most people would have been aware something was on the cards for a long time now , Cyprus applied for the bailout in the middle of last year , so people have had a long time to move their money out. I myself never moved my savings over here (it's in the IOM). We keep a small amount of cash in a Cyprus bank and this latest event will cost us about 200e. The money that is being taken out of people's accounts will be replaced by shares in two different Cyprus banks .

  9. [quote user="mogs"]Just watched the second episode of The Following, it's brilliant and Kevin  Bacon as usual plays a superb character so really recommend this.   How you getting along with it Clair? [/quote] I just came across a Kevin Bacon movie this week "Stir of Echoes" from 1999 and really enjoyed it .
  10. My thanks also to Clair. Just put it in chrome on a mac pc , bbc iplayer worked straight off.
  11. quote "Chiefluvvie Alternatively just use filmon.com for live viewing and recording of all major UK Channels (and loads from other countries) - all totally free with option to pay for HD service." The filmon record function is not free any longer , they stopped it about a week ago.
  12. Something we do not hear much , a Russian singer. Those who watch UK TV will know this tune from a recent advert. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oavMtUWDBTM&feature=youtube_gdata_player
  13. Speaking of chestnuts , I love the grin on this guys face. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_L_UIH5JaI&feature=youtube_gdata_player

  15. Chiefluvvie , sounds good . One question when using the humax with the iplayers is it possible to record ?
  16. I sold my French house in 2010 , I have a euro account in an IOM bank. The notaire transferred the funds on the day of signing and my sale was also at Christmas time , I think about the 23rd Dec. So yes notairs's can transfer funds on the day of sale and out of France.
  17. Over here in CY we have already lost some uk tv. But we are using the Internet (filmon) to get it back ....gluttons for punishment or what.
  18. Any photos folks ? I don't like living with snow , but it is nice to see people's snaps .
  19. I'm in a far away place now , but we have reports in our press that construction has stopped but on my estate of 300 houses there are 12 new ones going up .
  20. Goal posts have changed , so not tonight my dear. Astra 2F Update 28/11/2012 : No more updates yet on the "big migration" of UK TV channels from Astra 1N to Astra 2F. The first rumoured date of between 23-26 Nov did not bring anything. The next rumoured date is first week in December. Until then only the one single frequency, carrying two BBC HD channels, is the only UK TV frequency that is live on Astra 2F.
  21.  [quote user="Jako"]'informed' rumours claim astra2b transponders will move to 2f tonight. These are all Sky subscription channels, so they should go to the pan-European beam, but who knowns... [/quote] Well did 2b move overnight ? Or was it a case of 2b or not 2b .
  22. Can I smell smoke ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrpXArn3hII .
  23. The form for claiming under the new ruling is now on line , for you to print off and send. Check the quilifiying date , don't send it too early. http://www.direct.gov.uk/prod_consum_dg/groups/dg_digitalassets/@dg/@en/@over50/documents/digitalasset/dg_202418.pdf
  24. A couple of screen shots to show the list of French channels , there are loads more from other countries. [IMG]http://i1270.photobucket.com/albums/jj607/macbet1/2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1270.photobucket.com/albums/jj607/macbet1/1.jpg[/IMG]
