Amazon Fire stick

Hi. Has anyone had experience of using Amazon Fire TV stick in Portugal please? Could be useful on television in the bedrooms where we do not have IPTV. Thanks.

Re: Security key cutting

This sounds like the chap Les told us about, near the Financas. Drove round but did not find it. I will give it another go with your instruction. Thanks Geoff.

Re: Lagoa Roundabout

Yes, a nice touch. Don't know who paid for it. Looks really nice after the wreck of a building before.

Re: wifi rental

Most providers sell pre pay internet dongles which you keep and just top when needed. We used Kangaru (now Noz) for a few years before a permanent WiFi connection. Vodafone and others do the same. Once bought it is always there for future visits.They work really well and almost as fast as a landline...

Re: Where to go on hliday

We are off to Qatar next week. Having been before it feels safer than places like central London. Only problem is having to depend on our daughter to get a bottle of Gordon's in!

Re: Security key cutting

Think they would be a bit disappointed if they did get in. Would have to get past electric coded gates and main door. Only a storage room key for towels, bed linen, our clothes, a couple of tool boxes and an emergency bottle of Gordons gin ready for any late arrival. Why such a key for an internal d...

Re: Security key cutting

Hi gunner. We are in the UK at present and are not sure when we will be in Carvoeiro next. Will keep you in mind. Thanks. Hi Roy. Certainly not sunny in Lincoln today. It's turned awful here too; has not stopped raining since the early hours of the morning and forecast all afternoon! Thanks for the ...

Security key cutting

Anyone know where there is a good locksmith in Lagoa or Portimao please. I need a mortice security key cutting and the guy in the kiosk at Intermarche cannot do it. I tried our local locksmith in the UK but he is unable to obtain the blank; must be peculiar to Portugal. Don't really want to change t...

Re: Lagoa Roundabout

Even with the road works traffic is flowing better in Lagoa. Doubt the benefit at the Fatacil junction but yes at the International School. A few years now since the last frenzy of roundabouts; silly ones like the odd shapes at Estombar and near Parchal. They are not useful at all. Interesting to se...

Re: Bulk carrier 'Dauntless' ?

Appears it left Annaba, Algeria on 21 December with destination Portimao, ETA 30 December. Appears now to be at anchor a few of miles off so what it is doing is anyone's guess! Seems somewhat odd for such a vessel. Interested now to see where she goes.
