It can be a mistake not regularly checking ones’ bank statements as I found out last year. I was very busy at the time and never got round to it. When I did, it came as a shock to find that I had been charged for Internet services that I hadn’t used. After contacting the call centre at the Three store and also one of the companies concerned I wrote to the head office. I didn’t find the service very helpful especially when they were asking me to repeat information that I’d already given and suggesting actions that I’d already taken: Case on-going.

“Three UK” informed me that the charges had originated from a company called “mgage” and after failing to get a refund from “Three UK” I contacted the company to clarify the matter.
California now wants independence! This is the most populated state in the U.S.A. and contributes a lot to the Federal budget, which has caused resentment. But would the state be better off as a separate country? And what if the other states became independent – surely this is a recipe for war. Is there any sense in this? Why not have an independent Los Angeles County or even an independent Los Angeles. What about independent homes? – Gardens with ten foot walls with turrets and machine guns, and patrolling dogs and search lights! And don’t forget the sentry to check the passport of the postman and other visitors. There’s an old saying which I believe is still relevant – united we stand, divided we fall. The best way to stem this “infection” is to invest in the poorer regions to make them more productive and not so reliant on other states.

GEROSKIPOU MUNICIPAL BEACH
A FRIGHT:
I went alone on this trip and booked into an apartment in a holiday complex. It was a nice spacious flat with two large single beds. After coming back from a bar one night I had a snack and coffee then went to bed and listened to the radio on my headphones. I switched the lights off and it was almost pitch black. I’d pushed the beds together and a lot of my stuff was on the other bed. Little did I know that when I was out or when I was in the kitchen, a cat had climbed through the bathroom window and climbed on the bed and was curled up just two feet away from me! It wasn’t long before I was drifting away. I turned over and my right hand landed on the cat! I pulled away immediately as it felt odd. It didn’t make sense; it felt like a fur hat. I don’t have a fur hat and if I had it wouldn’t be warm! Was it my imagination? I cautiously put my hand back to where it was and felt it. It felt just the same. I sprang up on my hands and shouted “what the hell’s that!” I recognized in the dim light to my relief that it was a cat. Having established what the ‘thing’ was I turned over and tried to get to sleep. But when I was drifting off it started ‘meowing’ and clawing on the blankets! It was probably hungry; this was a wild cat and there are lots of them in Cyprus. I got up and fed it some ham slices and gave it some water then opened the door. It went out and I shut the door – and the bathroom window!

Frothing foaming bacon has landed on earth! A once docile food has suddenly become aggressive. Instead of calmly sizzling away in the frying pan as it has been doing for time immemorial it now starts to foam like a rabid dog! It starts off okay but after a minute or so the froth is so thick that it’s impossible to see when it’s cooked. Which planet is it from? Which galaxy is it from? Is it safe? Having nervously consumed it one evening I was relieved to find that I was still alive the next day. But what’s causing it? I tried a different oil and I tried different brands but it was still the same. Then I purchase some loose bacon and was delighted to find it behaving normally; It only affects the vacuum packs. A quick search on the web revealed that I was not the only one affected by this hideous substance. Apparently it’s been known for some time but has only affected these parts recently. (Cumbria)
