Indeed, as you say Warwick, passport is a 'given' I'll agree - but copies of passports is something that was never mentioned when we were given the appointment. Anyway, we will be taking our γραφειοκρατία folder, which we take to all public bodies in Greece - containing every certificate we have, pl...

When we got our appointment a few days ago, he didn't mention the tax documents - just 4 passport photos each, blue permits for both of us, paravolo and house contract. That's all - not even current passport.

Meanwhile, 28210 25811 and 25812 continue to be 'engaged' or remain unanswered. There has to be a solution, but I haven't found it. Ah well, plenty of time until June 30th! Bob. I called them yesterday... ...and I called them... ...and I called them. It took two hours of repeated calling, variously...

...ah, but there are some people who you can always tell - nothing they are ever going to say is actually going to enlighten you.

I just add them to the "Foe" list, then you don't see their posts ever again.

I guess I will never understand this whole subject. Am I better or worse off for this? That depends on how far down the rabbit hole you want to go. At the bottom of the rabbit hole, money is now (since the end of the gold standard in 1971) a fictional social construct - and while it used to be a go...

This is the only website I've found for conversion. It can be a little finicky to work, but it does work eventually - sometimes you have to enter the data and hit the buttons twice - other times it will clear the data you've entered, so make sure you copy it before pressing any buttons. http://www.t...

Our neighbours arrived from Bristol into Chania last Sunday. They filled in the Passenger Locator Form prior to departure, and on arriving at Chania... ...nothing happened - everything was completely normal apart from showing the PLF QR code. No checks, no delays. The travel advice at https://travel...

I began to think about this - VOIP uses UDP, so no buffering etc - then I thought "It's too hot to think, let's use Google!" This https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/2778700 led to this https://community.cisco.com/t5/other-collaboration-subjects/repeating-voice/td-p/196261 whether the ...

Jeff - Earth is pretty amazing - I'm currently doing a course on meteorology from Penn State University - Earth will be a fabulous resource for it - thank you! "Windy" was also recommended to me by people in the sailing world - and they really need to know their weather as accurately as po...

I have used many of the above suggestions in the past (Weather underground, Meteo, Accuweather (which I ended up calling InAccuweather)), but I stopped using them because they have been sometimes wildly inaccurate - of course, that might have changed by now. Recently, I've been using Meteoblue for b...

There is a handy button on every user profile called "Add Foe". Just click on the username in any post to see their profile page. If you don't want to see someone's posts you can press that button, and you will not see their posts - but you will see a link to press if they have posted in a...

Post Offices are still working and still allowing people to pay bills there, as of yesterday at least. Personally, I am praying for the day when Post Offices follow the Bank's example and stop allowing people to pay bills there. In normal times, our PO is rammed with people paying bills - these days...

... The real reason I made this post is that a private coach company was used to ferry the ex-pats from Brize Norton, where they landed, to a hospital in the Wirral, where they will be quarantined for 14 days. The name of the company was emblazoned across the front and sides of the coaches. That na...
