For one man karaoke wasn’t enough so he set up a U2 tribute band
U2, one of the most famous bands in the world, need no introduction. But who can say that they’ve heard of Paul Collyer?

Coping with the heat

2005-08-14

It’s hot outside but there are ways to make it more bearable

THE summer heat is well and truly upon us and the long, hot days can test the patience of most of us at times. There are few who are not affected by the heat in one way or another. How did we ever live without air conditioning at home, in the office and in cars? Yet we did. How quickly luxuries are taken for granted.

If you fancy being flung through the air at high speed, there is a ride in Ayia Napa for you

“ARE you ready?” a voice overhead asks me.

Diary

Some things are just plain wrong. Your husband emailing you about his girlfriend, Liz Hurley’s love affair with white jeans, and beige M&Ms. I add to this certain words in the English language (crevice, hunkers, gusset and moist) and government departments.

Good wine is just one more reason to visit the largest Greek island

Restaurant review

Zaffron
Ladies (and gents) who lunch
At last, a decent place for midday that is not in a hotel

IN Paphos, you could probably count on the fingers of one hand the places that serve a quality lunch at decent prices as the vast majority of good restaurants open only in the evening to satisfy the tourist trade.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
