Do others have a credit card with their bank? I do and it works slightly different from the typical UK one because It works in a calendar month and automatically takes payment on the the first of the month for all transaction made the previous month. Whereas my UK cards when timed right can give me...

Another disadvantage with the router solution is that generally you don't actually install anything, rather and this is assuming your router supports vpn, and you have access to it is that you configure your router to point to a specific vpn server and set the user/password. Job done, but should you...

I thought you didn’t need to touch the router with a VPN. I understood if you downloaded it on to say an Amazon firestick it was done from there. Correct, you can either put it on your router or device permitting on the device. I have used smartdnsproxy vpn for some years now. I find if i installed...

Thanks for the confirmation Gerry. Still get my chili chicken fix when i need it... Btw had a fab meal at old goa saturday. There were 4 of us so had a greater selection of dishes. Some of them a little unusual for an indian restaurant, but enjoyed it immensely and came away having eaten far to much...

Replied, i think

Went here last night. Excellent meal and as has been mentioned some unusual dishes specific to them. We had Hundy and the strangest looking pasanda ever. Thouroughly enjoyed the food and are going back Saturday to try other specials... On a different tack the waiter told us that our favourite Jaipur...

Following this as we are contemplating driving back to blighty next feb or so. Initial thoughts are to head up the med coast visiting portugal maybe lagos or porto. Then back into spain for santiago, bilbao. Then either head up through france to calais, or take the ferry from bilbao.. Can't at the m...

Guess it means securing the site is easier. Doubt the web managers are considering absent foreign home owners. After all they will get their money eventaully plus possibly late payment fine.. Win win for them.

It may be because you are in the UK. With my UK vpn active i can't connect to this site, however if I turn my vpn off i connect immediately. Ive noticed this more frequently recently that an increasing number of spanish sites won't let you connect from a UK address. If you have vpn service available...

Become my default action now to start up Edge or whatever they call it now if a site doesn't work as expected with Brave/Chrome. Often that cures the problem. So much for open standards and RFCs To add to the annoyance i'm finding quite a few spanish sites won't let me browse, or apps connect if i h...

Been using Brave browser on my tablet, phone and windows pc for a while now. Based on chrome code but vastly improved including ad, tracker, and script filters. Can also be set to force https connection and block 3rd party cookies.

Give it a try https://brave.com/

Did you try rotating the blades with the fan switched on?
Re-reading my post perhaps it wasn't clear that the test should be done with the fan switched on.

Dunno if thay are all the same but my Fantasia ceiling fans have 3 capacitors, start and run for the different speeds.

Quote possibly it's the start capacitor rather than the motor. They can be replaced fairly easily. ...but I guess you've got to know someone who knows how do that. Any suggestions from your location up to Competa or down to the coast at Torre del Mar? I guess thats the catch . Sorry but don't perso...

If you look on your bill near the bottom just above the bar code you will see the " Emisora, Sufijo etc" codes/ numbers that you need to enter into the payment system to pay online. It's quite easy to do, honest. :wave: Cheers Gerry Or use your phone/tablet to read the qr code on the notification y...

Contacted by our Sayalonga village garage earlier today. Itv which ran out 24th Mar is booked for 28th May, so next week. Cross another outstanding item of the list.

Whether we fly or not this year is dependant on a vaccination becoming available. Hence 'maybe' No jab no fly. Nor would we fly the kids here. Already canned our grandkids visit in August, and our trips back, including Christmas.

Thought they got paid for clickthroughs not displaying. But then what do I know. I have the blocker primarily for sites like daily mail.

Brave does have the facility to easily turn on/off on a per site level

Been using Brave browser for a while now. Likewise no ads, popups, trackers or other assorted nasties. Not had one 'We detected that you are using an ad blocker' message since i started using it which i did have with a couple of other browsers i tried.

Maybe old news. The Salud Responde app now has a coronavirus section. Select your registration in the app and a new purple icon ha appeared. Contains information and a symptom checker that you can fill in and send off for a diagnosis.

Only in Spanish, like the rest of the app.
