Hi I’m writing to askif anyone can recommend a TV engineer in the Episkopi/Erimi/Kolossi/Pissouriareas. Our television hasbeen playing up since before Xmas; when watching it as normal (i.e. throughHDMI), it's OK for about 20-30 minutes, but then the screen goes blank with amessage indicating that the signal from the box has been lost.  We've had 2replacement boxes from our TV provider, bothof which they have assured us are in perfectly good working order. They havecalled out their contracted engineers (from Redmax) out to realign thesatellite dish & check all the relevant connections, all to absolutely noavail. (Oddly enough, wecan still mirror live/catch-up TV from our tablet using HDMI  without any problems). I have todayborrowed a spare TV from an electrical shop. If this substitute TV does notwork, then it would appear to prove beyond doubt that there is a problem withthe cables/connections/ box. (Obviously, if the substitute TV did work, thenour telly was faulty all along). We would reallylike an engineer to come round to our house, who’s prepared to be thoroughenough to examine and identify/eliminate every single cause of this issue –whether it be the TV, box, dish, leads, wall plugs or anything else. Anyrecommendations would be gratefully received. Very many thanks inanticipation of your help.

Hello. I saw Frank Skinner on BBC4 last week talking about George Formby and the ukulele. Apparently the ukulele is one of the easiest instruments to learn to play and has become the most popular musical instrument to learn in British schools. There are also amateur ukulele bands and clubs springing up and down the UK.I wondered, does anyone in Cyprus know how to play the ukulele, and if you do would you be interested in starting a new ukulele club here for beginners? This would be in the Larnaca area. We would need some help in teaching beginners how to start playing, but the whole thing would just be a bit of fun, nothing too heavy.

Hello, Does anyone know of a book club in Nicosia? If not, would anyone be interest in starting one? Nothing too serious, just nice books, a glass of wine and company! Please let me know if you are interested. Marianna

Am looking for any bass and keyboard players who may be interested in forming a new band - I'm in the Paphos area but could travel to Limassol if necessary. I'm a singer, although not full time and probably not thought of as a professional, but have had some gigs in this area and know of a good lead guitarist who is also interested. Would love to hear from anyone who thinks they would like to give it a try!

Hello all,before the normal type pool tables became popular in pubs in UK there was the Bar Billiard tables, a great game i think and only needs a quarter of the space a pool table needs as its only played from the front and is only about 3ft wide and six feet long, basicly the table has 9 holes in the playing surface (not in corners or sides), the balls are about the size of the UK red and yellow balls so are lighter and the game is played at a much more gentle pace, each hole has a point value and each hole is connected (under the slate) by a channel directly to a receiving area which shows the point value that the ball scored, there are 8 whites and 1 red, the red counts double when potted so is used as often as possible,there are 2x30 point holes, 2x20 point holes, 2x50 point holes, 1x100 point hole and 1x200 point hole,there are 2 tan coloured stand up pins which are placed in front of the 50 point holes and one black pin placed in front of the 200 point hole, if a tan pin is knocked over during a players visit to the table that player loses the point ammassed for that visit to the table and the other player continues, if the black pin gets knocked over the total of points ammassed from start of game is lost and the other player continues, normally the game is coin operated for 17-20 mins then a bar drops (hence the name Bar Billiards) and the balls do not return the game is very often  decided on the last ball which if only one is left has to be played of the side cushion for the 200 hole which has the black pin in front and when knocked over is total points loss...other types of games with other rules can be played,...well now you are bored but get the gist i want to tell you that after searching long time to get a table from abroad UK or other at a reasonable price (they are not produced any more) i got one here in Cyprus at a great price!!!! most of the accessories can still be scourced to produce tables except the clockwork timers to control coin acceptance and time limits, (i'm trying to design an electromagnetical one (anyone for help ?) ,my idea as its such a lovely game is to try and produce a few and get a league started after reintroducing the game...if you like the sound of it Google Bar Billiards and Bar Billiard game finals etc ,lets see of any comments or interest
