Just a quick update for all re internet connection. Libya appears to still have the connection blocked at the main backbone, so looks like no internet for anyone for the time being. As for journalists - am guessing they'll all have VSat links, which ... Read More

Mintoo - if you're still in Tripoli, then I'm sure that you have the best wishes of everyone on the forum, and whatever decision you take regarding either staying or going, remain safe and well. Just out of curiosity - how have you been able to ... Read More

Zlatan - you're just not right in the head lad!. Perhaps those supposed beatings you've had re-arranged your wiring a bit!. Maybe another re-wiring done properly this time would be the best outcome for idiots like yourself. You appear to suffer ... Read More

How the rumour mill rumbles - lol I've been told by normally reliable source that it's only Asian 6 month visas that have been stopped - they want to force them on to residency. UK 6 month visas supposedly still freely available. If anyone knows ... Read More

I'm presuming that you're getting multiple t/x's showing up on the same date/time?, or are they showing on dates/times when you haven't used the machine?. Have you had this problem with only the one bank card/account, or with multiple ... Read More

What machine have you used?. I've used the mobile Aman Bank ATM at the side of the Grand Hotel, with both Visa and Mastercards and not had any problems (up till now - lol). Read More

Hi Kes - if I knew that this was going to work in the desert (Amal site) - then I would sort out getting one - but people I'v spoken to say this 'reefee' box is the one to get. I know how WiMax works as I'm in IT - but never heard of 'reefee' or ... Read More
