Sadly, I would like to report to all that we are moving in Jan 04 for the remaining 30 months of my career, to a new post - Field Force Workshops, Dhekelia, Cyprus.
I wanted to give you guys/girls the news first - it seemed only right. Of course all is not written in stone, and even the 10 Commandments were broken!! . But this does look like it's a serious intention. Again, it's new friends and old memories to look forward to.
Looking at things from another angle - in the last 5 years I have been married to Kerrie, she has travelled to more places that I have in the last 19 years of my whole bloody career! She's gone from living in a two bedrm flast to living in Germany, Canada, and now Cyprus.
Well if it's any consolation, maybe they'll have hi-speed in Dhekelia, heh!?

According to this, Kodiak, you may be closer to broadband than you think:
"Cyprus recognises the importance of telecommunications and has invested heavily in the development of this sector. As a result, the island may claim, in this respect, to be among the most developed countries in the world.
Apart from conventional telecommunications services such as telephony, telex, telefax and telegraphy, the Cyprus Telecommunications Authority (CYTA) offers services such as the packet switched data network, mobile telephony (GSM and NMT900), voicemail, paging, maritime, TV transmission/reception, private leased circuits, audiotex, videoconferencing, access to the Internet and the X400 message handling system. Furthermore, the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) has recently begun operating on a full commercial basis. The national network utilises state-of-the-art technology such as digital switching and transmission systems and fibre optic cables. Services to be introduced soon include videotex, the Paneuropean Paging System, as well as broadband services."
