Hi Keni , Yes Cyprus is great .....we loved our years in France but Cyprus suits us better. How is things with you ? xx

Quote In the interests of improving my French, is there a pun in "Fransuor Arnue" that I missed. No pun intended , just random silly spelling by me.

THE government yesterday announced it's proposal to create a new additional tax for swimming pool owners. Seen as an effort by the government to assist in the reduction of the deficit the proposal has been given a cautious welcome by the opposition.   The proposal is to create a tiered tax system based on the size of the pool and is specifically targeted at "private swimming pools". Early predictions of the likely cost range between €650 per annum for smaller pools up to a maximum of €1400 per annum for larger pools.   Trade and Industry Minister Fransuor Arnue warned MP's that this could also create uncertainty and anger amongst a relatively small but vocal group of property owners. "Whilst owners have been sheltered from widespread tax increases we have a duty to ensure that the deficit is reduced as quickly as possible" said Arnue.   The opposition welcomes the move but suggests proposed amendments to what has been provisionally named as the Swimming Pool Income Tax. "further amendments are needed to ensure that we are maximising the S.P.I.T" said opposition spokesman. "The size to tax ratio should be carefully studied as there may be room to increase the tax from a low introductory rate for the first year" he added.   The government furnished MP's with a list of common pool sizes and the proposed annual tax rate although it stressed that at this time this was purely a guide. The guide is also published on swimming pools. If the proposal is accepted it could be implemented as early as January 2013 according to government sources.

Thanks for the detailed explenation Martin . 1m dish ....pah I have a 3m dish that is no use now in Cyprus since the move to 1N no one can get BBC and lots of other channels.Doh.

I might have this all wrong , but as a lot of channels have moved onto satellite 1N already and people in France can receive them ok . Then surely channels on the new satellites which have virtually the same footprint will also be receivable in France ?

My first post on the new format. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LM8JhvfoqdA

Ha ha Martin , I do not beleave yo can get 1N in CY no matter what size your dish , I think the cut off pont is Italy I have a 4M dish at the moment ....I might be using it as a giant wok soon.[Www]

[quote user="Jako"]These channels were moved from the astra2d to the astra1n satellite without even a glitch.... [/quote] That might be true for you , but for where I am it means more channels lost for good.[:(] Sorry for the freeview mix up in my op ......must have been a senior moment.

From freeview site. "In the early hours of Tuesday 14th February some technical work is taking place on the full suite of ITV, STV, UTV and Channel 4 channels. There may be a short interruption to these services during this time. Once the work is complete these channels will be restored automatically. Following this, if you have problems tuning to these channels a retune or first time install on your box should bring them back."

I think this song will get a few air plays this month. [Www] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzariFDBYwo&feature=related Paul McCartney - My Valentine

As you come out with a load of crap as usual pachapapa" So you were privy to a pre-release in southern cyprus...bully for you!" I was only pointing out an article dated 30th Oct 2011 by a UK paper.

It has taken the BBC a long time to find this "leaked" information . It was announced way back at the end of October last year.[:-))] "Europe’s inspectors will henceforth establish an occupation office in Athens" http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/comment/ambroseevans_pritchard/8858604/The-two-halves-of-the-eurozone-are-locked-in-a-broken-marriage.html

I know the 5 group have been on 1N for a while , but they did leave one live for a while on 2D in the 10.773 section , this is the one they switched off this week ,completing the move to 1N. Actually I did get a screen grab while it was live , as Martin said among the BBC channels. click here

Its all part of the move to satellite IN , where I am it means I have now probably lost CH5 for good ......no great loss to me, but happy the op got it back with a re-tune.

Don't remind me Wooly , and is it true that nearly a thousand US troops are on the way to Israel ?
