Is there anyway of receiving a notification if someone replies to something we post or if we reply to something someone else has posted????


Can anyone answer this question please

They are ignoring you Linda.

Commented Caroline in La Marina 2011-07-09 17:23:27 UTC

If you look at the other forums like Torrevieja forums and Anglo info, they do have a system whereby you will receive a reply to your posting, so I cant see why this forum cant do the same!

Commented Malika in La Marina 2011-07-09 19:20:01 UTC

Its a great idea, we will get on to it and add it to the site as soon as possible.

Commented Team ASL "A Spanish Life" in La Marina 2011-07-10 06:22:46 UTC

That would be an excellent addition to this forum Steve. I myself would like this added as soon as possible as you loose track of what you have posted, and then you may get replies and not realise this - especially if you actually post in the other areas. Thank's Steve

I really do look forward to also seeing a slot for sale and wanted items rather than have to put them on the wall.

Commented Malika in La Marina 2011-07-10 11:56:33 UTC

I have seen a for sale section on the "My Spanish Life" so I think that would be the best place to put your advert.

Commented Daves Homes in Rojales 2011-07-10 12:41:57 UTC

Thanks for that Dave. Yes I have found the section although I wouldn't have if you hadn't told me. I still find the site a bit baffling.

Commented Malika in La Marina 2011-07-10 12:56:58 UTC

I also did when I first started using it, but all I did was click every button I could find and after a while I got the hang of it. The site seems to offer so much more than just a forum once you know where to look.

Commented Daves Homes in Rojales 2011-07-10 13:21:29 UTC

ooohhh had some replies to my post hee hee, so hopefully we will eventually get an email to let us know if people reply.

I had better go and check the wanted items, as i am still looking for a small freezer.

Commented Linda Reed in La Marina 2011-07-11 08:33:58 UTC

Wouldn't it be better to rename the heading "My Spanish life" to something like Miscellaneous to make life easier?

Malika's Tapas Bar/Cafeteria

Has anyone tried Malika's bar down in the village lately? A great little bar/cafeteria on a corner plot, very airy and very bright and with extensive views over the campo and with sea views. Malika offers Moroccan cuisine including her delicious mouth watering tapas dishes, plus lots more.

Open now all week except Wednesdays from 9.00am till 9.00pm and sometimes later.

Malika also hosts theme nights by way of Moroccan and Spanish nights with entertainment once a month which are proving ever popular which incidentally she can also host in other venues or your homes if you have a private party or occasion you want to organize where you are looking for something different.

Malcolm,
My partner and I and indeed many of our close friends have been to Malika's restaurant.
It is an excellent restaurant and well worth a visit in my opinion.

Commented Angelique in La Marina 2011-07-10 17:28:54 UTC

Thanks for that Angelique. Have you tried the Moroccan theme night as yet? I understand there is another great night there again on 23rd of this month. truly a great night especially with the belly dancers!!

Commented Malika in La Marina 2011-07-11 10:11:02 UTC

Malcolm,
I am sorry I have not tried the Moroccan Theme.
we have only been there for their excellent Tapas and a glass or two of wine.

Commented Angelique in La Marina 2011-07-11 10:13:05 UTC

I understand there are a few tickets still available but I'm sure, not for long. Do you want me to tell Malika to save you some?

DRIP........ DRIP........ DRIP........ !!!

The air con in the bedroom has been dripping all night - I had to put a bowl to catch it and there was quite a lot of water in there this morning. I have had Ian up the ladder this morning but he has no idea what the problem is. Last year I remember another one of our air con units leaked and Ian managed to fix that somehow but he doesn't know what he did. Can anyone please help I do not wan't another sleepless night listening to the constant DRIP DRIP DRIP. Many thank's x

La Marina

Does anybody have any idea what we can do to stop the drip drip drip please ????

Commented Carol in La Marina 2011-07-08 08:46:07 UTC

Carol...ours drips and runs down the wall...what i found though is if you keep it above 20 it did not drip plus, if we had a window open or there was air coming from outside it dripped for some reason..dont know if this info will help but it did us

Commented Andi in La Marina 2011-07-08 09:50:00 UTC

Nice to hear you need air conditioning you want to come here in the pouring rain hasn't got fully light today yet and it's 11.30

Commented Eddie in La Marina 2011-07-08 10:12:17 UTC

I think I had the setting on at about 26 dg all night, and there were no windows open. It didn't drip previous years. I do not really want to have a bucket in the bedroom all summer and to hear drip drip drip all night. Thank's for trying but not really any help !!

Commented Carol in La Marina 2011-07-08 11:35:04 UTC

¿ So where are all these DIY experts thought a lot of you would of been back with ideas. Even if you do not normally post this should be an easy one Lads??????

Commented Daisy in La Marina 2011-07-08 14:45:04 UTC

When our Air Con is on, it drips, but it goes through a tube to outside, where we have it running into a bottle.

The company we used is by the kitchen specialists and the George Pub, they are very good, also apparently, if you use air con it should be serviced annual and sometimes needs to be re-gased too.

Commented Linda Reed in La Marina 2011-07-08 16:14:43 UTC

You should have the filters in the A/C cleaned / cleared every year, but normally its not needed to refill the gas every year. Thats something that should be done every 3-4 years max.
If it drips its because the condense from the A/C unit comes BACK into the A/C and it can be that the tubing has a defect - the water should never end up on the inside of your house. Always on the outside.

I would recommend that you contact James on telephone number: 677 103 503. He installed my A/C at home and they are very professional. Tommy

Commented cybertommy75 in La Marina 2011-07-08 16:22:01 UTC

Tommy does he charge for a call out plus, is he fair with his prices and does he do gaurentees

Commented Andi in La Marina 2011-07-08 17:00:46 UTC

That's a very good point Andi, as we certainly do not intend to get ripped off for a leak !! We probably need all 3 of our air con units looking at or servicing or whatever.
SO, Tommy does James charge for a call out Plus doing the work ?? Thank's

Commented Carol in La Marina 2011-07-08 17:08:08 UTC

to ANDI: andi21982

All I know is that I paid a fair price for the installation. The work they did was very professional and my A/C is running like clockwork. They also installed the A/C in our shop, and you really have to call them and ask them what and if they charge for out calls - because I have no idea. But if it was me, I would ask them to come and have a look at it. They are coming to my house on tuesday again to install another A/C unit in one of my guest bedrooms, so for sure tuesday they are in La Marina. Call them and ask.

Commented cybertommy75 in La Marina 2011-07-08 17:09:13 UTC

We had the same thing - it sounds as though you have a blockage in the out pipe - check for kinks in pipe work, use a metal coat hanger to see if you have blockages - best solution to to get a wet/dry vacuum on the out flow pipe and suck the blockage out - we used an airline, but not many people have them - its got nothing to do with what temp you have it set at

Commented Souxie in La Marina 2011-07-08 18:19:25 UTC

I will call him monday mid-morning and see what he has to say, no harm in finding out.

Commented Andi in La Marina 2011-07-08 18:24:52 UTC

I had the same problem recently. it turned out that the outlet tube was blocked.

Another night of Drip Drip Dripping. When I first turned the air con on last night it was fine for about half an hour, then just as I snuggled down.......drip drip drip. Thank you for all your suggestions. I will get Ian up the ladder outside later on to see if there is a blockage anywhere before we have to go to a lot of expense getting somebody out to look at it. Thank's Everyone!

Commented Carol in La Marina 2011-07-09 07:05:14 UTC

Carol," I will get Ian up the ladder outside later on" do we really need to know this ? xx

Commented Robert in La Marina 2011-07-09 07:28:03 UTC

1)you can try is increasing the temperature setting to around 24 degress, as it is a bit humid at the moment the amount of condensation being produced can overwhelm the water collection tray and over flow.
2) Check the inside unit is level on the wall as the drain flows to one side of the unit.
3) check the drainage is pipe is clear and un kinked (afraid the simplist way is a quick suck!
4)Check the condition of the drainage pipes, alot of companies use the cheap drain pipes supplied with the units and after a period of time UV light breaks them down.
5)Check where the water is draining into as if its running into a full water bottle, for example, this can then back up into the unit.

Hope this helps

Commented Steve in La Marina 2011-07-09 12:09:04 UTC

My Mum in Law had same problem today - I went and cl;eaned her filters and used a wet/dry vacuum up the outisde pipes and cleared some debris - all now ok - try this first - dont want to spend money without having to - good luck x

Commented Souxie in La Marina 2011-07-09 17:32:10 UTC

Hip Hip Hooray Everyone !!
Ian got up the ladder yesterday and a very small pipe that leads from the inside air con to the outside unit had got blocked and when he moved it he got covered in water. SO, NO drip drip drip last night. That you all very much for your replies - most appreciated and it's saved us a lot of expense !!

Commented Carol in La Marina 2011-07-10 07:17:45 UTC

Glad Ian sorted your bid drip Carol hee hee, but just incase you need it the company I was on ablt is Simply Aircon x

MEAL AT GIOVANNI´S RESTAURANT

We had a lovey meal last night at Giovanni´s restaurant in Almoradi. The food was nice and the atmosphere and company was good as well. The restaurant was very busy which is good to see and it seems that the summer season has really kicked in. Would definately recommend it for a nice ocassion and the price is reasonable as well.

strays

Can anyone please tell me where the stray/abandoned animals are now actually being taken to? Thanks.

La Marina

Hi Irene,
Much has been said on this subject and the councillors and their staff are leading people to believe that all animals are taken to SATS however I have received an email from Julia, SATS kennel manager stating that they are NOT the ones San Fulgencio have a contract with to collect strays from our streets, if you go to the police and ask them as I did they will tell you the new councillors told them to contact Cereco in Crevillente when an animal is found.

Commented Julie in La Marina 2011-07-10 13:13:29 UTC

Irene,
Don't hold your breath but Jeff, our local Urb councillor promised almost four weeks ago, in this forum, that the animal ambulance would be returned to K9 and its volunteers with the minimum of delay.
I have not seen it! Has anyone else seen it?
If Jeff has promised it then assume that it is back in service?
Jeff would never let us down.
My new motto is: "If jeff has said it then it is a fact" or can both he and I be wrong?

Commented Angelique in La Marina 2011-07-10 17:25:11 UTC

Can anyone tell me please.

I use a Samsung Cam recorder. I haven’t any problems using it in the daytime, but when it comes to videos at night I seem to end up with less than average footage. I often video an Artiste on stage and the reproduction is not as it should be. I have a couple of times recently noticed other people using a video with a small light producing, gadget on the side of the cam video. Has any one any experience of these? and is it a part/extra that can be purchased for an existing model. Plus if so is the reproduction worth the investment?

Guardamar Beach

It was packed at Guardamar today you could not move. Had all the family their with us from Scotland and they loved it. We had a lovely lunch at one of the bars on the promenade and really chilled out. We all enjoyed our day and shall be trying La Marina beach tomorrow as friends have said that this is also a lovely beach and less crowded.
If there is anyone who has any other suggestions on any nice beaches that are not too far please let me know. Thanks
