Wow, Warwick, that’s fascinating! Yep Bob it is great to learn all this stuff and your expression sums it up perfectly! Yorkshire?

I know Warwick, I know...I was trying really hard to be objective! As a Greek friend of mine often likes to quote ‘ logic is a good Greek word, but many Greeks are missing the logic chip’ Glad to hear you passed through without difficulty Bob. Jean - surely algorithm is another Greek root word? Ok ,...

I have now read in Kriti24 that they are/have removed the roadworks and will resume after September (so I have heard from a local friend). Due to horrendous hold-ups with queues... “In order to inform all citizens, but mainly of drivers and passengers who suffered for many hours due to the works car...

To follow on Warwick ...happened in San Antonio TX too. One who went on to catch the virus, his last words “I think I’ve made a mistake, I thought this was a hoax, it’s not”

Hi IDm, I don’t have the leaflet to which alansmithnl was referring. It looked to me, from his area that he is in the Apokoronas, although, there are a few Armenoi villages... If he and you are in the Apokoronas district, I suggested to him that he contact his village rep.You can find them listed on...

Hi I have sent you a pm

Yes Kamisiana I have been quoting D-K effect and their paper ( I think from the mid eighties) oh, for almost four years now...There is a prime specimen who constantly spouts and fits into the category, in the states.

Maud, when you return to your Cretan home, I am sure that you will be met with the same warmth that usually greets you. I think at the beginning of our Greek lockdown, there was some upset with ‘foreigners’. (Perhaps is the what the email refers to?) These were people who arrived on the cusp of the ...
