Bote

What's happening at the Bote? Does anyone know if it's open or not? I read the latest newsletter which said the previous owners had taken it back and were reopening, including the Weds foam parties. Apparently no foam party last night so is it shut again?

Bote

I was out last weekend and found out from the girl in Brady's that the Bote had been taken over by the guys that run Havana cocktail bar. We went down there on Friday night and there was a good live band but few people. We thought we would give it a go again on Saturday but it was shut! It seems str...

Dishwasher repair

Can anyone recommend someone to repair a Zanussi dishwasher? It needs a new impeller. The last time something went wrong they took the whole machine away but I want someone just to come along with the spare part and fix it.
Any help/recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Satellite Dish Installation

I have a place on rocha brava and had a dish installed a few years ago but now it is cable and just plug in to the wall socket. Have known RJ since the beginning and will always recommend them Ron5000 - where do you get the cable feed from, is there a monthly charge for this and do you know if all ...

Re: Credit card scam at Faro airport petrol station

This could be a scam but it may have been a mistake. I doubt if the cashier would benefit personally as this garage is part of a chain of Portuguese large chain of petrol stations. I presume the cashier would pocket the cash not put in the till. As long as there aren't too many people like allensho...

Re: Credit card scam at Faro airport petrol station

That seems to be the case Stevie-C. We normally use Algarvedriver for car hire and on our last visit a german customer in front was getting very irate that the rep insisted on a credit card even though the customer was paying in cash. I presume it's a safeguard against damage to the car.

Sky/Satellite

I have read various threads on this subject. I have a spare Sky + box which I can bring out to Portugal. I currently have Sky HD and Sky + at home - can I have another Sky + subscription and just ask them to send me another card? In Portugal I will just need the dish and cabling. Does anyone have an...
