Not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere on the forum, but I think it's a great idea : AN IDEA first introduced some years ago in the United States is now being adopted by Albufeira’s Voluntary Fire and Ambulance Service in an effort to help save more lives. The idea is simple yet effective: al...

Ah, yes... ThunderBolts are back in the Algarve in more ways than one!

Digger, I'd certainly agree with Bruxinha and her Dad on this one - best to err on the side of caution! Even if your computer is not powered up, it is still at risk during an electrical storm while plugged into the mains or even the telephone jack. A UPS (an Uninterruptable Power Supply, not the cou...

No worries!

Hi, there. I know of a bedsit that will be available at that time - it's a 1st floor twin bedroom with an en-suite shower room, located between Lagoa and Porches - so acquiring transport of some kind would be advised. There's a pool and large pool bar with darts, pool table and so on... not sure abo...

That's the one! Nice one, MC. I remember where I've seen the logo, now - on the spare wheel cover of their 4x4 as it goes through town!

My LagartoRoxo moniker is the Portuguese translation of an English nickname I was awarded a few years back... literally, it means 'Purple Lizard'. The Lizard part is due mainly to my being a 'Pond Monitor' at middle school (feeding the fish and so on) and now, the amount of time I spend in front of ...

Hi, Fred.

I can almost visualise the logo for Maximes but for some reason can't remember what Maximes actually is - can you let me know a bit more information and I'll see what I can find out for you!

Thanks in advance...

Nice to hear that a number of you have enjoyed using GCENs services.

Having spoken with my friend who works there, I now have the contact information for the Lagos Office :

Rebecca Hooton : 918 324 392
(Office Tel : 289 355 105)

Don't forget to mention Carvoeiro.com when you call!

Avvie,

Although I've not used GCENs services myself, I am familiar with the company. I know one of the English staff there personally, and could probably put you in touch so you can put your questions to them. I believe they are soon to open (or have just opened) premises in Lagos.

Yeah, yeah... I saw your post - very good!

However, I can't act for toffee and I point blank refuse to be driven by anything with more brains than me. That's why I drive knackered old cars and don't ride horses...

Hang on... LR & NR?

Eeep - that makes NightRider and I sound like a couple! The Witch and the Wizardy-Lizard, perhaps?

Avvie,

No worries!

I'll make a start on prices just as soon as I can... but as a thought might wait 'til Gambrinus returns from Germany (on the 19th), as he might be able to swing a decent deal out of the online store doing the 'CVO.com Wear'.

This could be a fun project - cheers!

NightRider,

So as not to be found guilty of my own accusations by going off on a tangent... check your PMs!
