Who ever pointed out that Cyprus is missing a huge trick by not taking advantage of solar power has already solved this problem. WHY won't the government make a massive commitment to solar power - it seems such an easy solution or am i mad?

They printed my letter!

Water, water, everywhere!

Sir,

It struck me yesterday when I was walking the dog that we are literally surrounded by water… Not the sea, which needs considerable amounts of energy to turn into usable water but all the water stored in empty properties.

If you think about it for a moment…

Each empty property has 1,000 litres of water sitting in their cold storage tank and an additional 250 litres in their hot tank.

In addition, if they have a pool there is another ~50,000 litres sitting there doing nothing.

In my own street alone, a development of just nine properties, there are seven currently standing empty – two unsold and the others ‘holiday’ homes. Of those, four have pools. So, just in our street alone (a tiny portion of Pissouri) there is ~200,000 litres of water standing ‘unused’.

If you multiply that by all the unsold or otherwise unused properties on the island, the amount of water standing idle must run into millions and millions of litres.

Now, I’m not suggesting that it is practical to go around with a big tanker collecting the hot and cold water from each empty apartment, but in time of crisis, surely some basic legislation could be applied that prevented unused properties being ‘filled-up’ and unused pools being filled/maintained.

You say that as though it is a bad thing?

My opinion about the water shortage is the fact that all the water that would normally be in the dams is in fact in all the new swimming pools being built. Not to mention all the additional tanks holding all this water where people are not even here.

Good thinking Grumps. Why not tax them pools, that way we could raise revenue to research alternative sources of energy and to build those god damn desalination plants.

Communal pools and hotel pools could be exempt or have a large reduction, but when you are in cyprus, the sea is a very short journey, what a waste.

The sea is full of Jelly Fish and razorfish you wouldn't catch me in it!!!

Craig,why don't you jump into the sea & either get stung by jellyfish or get yourself slashed by razorfish then? We all know what a Hell-bound nutcase you really are!

Nadia, why don’t you get yourself off my thread and go and troll up another site, this one for instance?

[BC Numismatics]

Cyprusgrump,if you want to go & visit your idol,Pope Bentdick,then you can catch the plane bound for Rome.You're closer to Rome than I am.It would cost a few hundred Euros for a plane ticket from Larnaca to Rome.

You don't have to keep on telling us that you're a dick,because we already knew that months ago!

Bloody plonker!

Hahahahahaha!

I love this Nadia, you have your very own thread to mess up with banal banter and ridiculous insults but you have to choose another thread to mess up too. It just proves that you are a troll; it proves that you have no intention of contributing positively to this board and it proves he reason why you have been banned from other boards all over the Interweb.

Nadia, you are the one that is insane, it is you that breaks the board rules with foul language (and at the same time your own hypocritical riles) and it is you I have to say that suffers from some bizarre mental illness… I really feel sorry for you although it won’t stop me humiliating you with my every post I’m afraid.

Nadia, as I said before, you merely have delusions of adequacy.
