For those of you who have Cabo TV, you might like to know that by the end of the year you could have more than 100 TV channels, one of which will be for films and quality TV series, supposedly without any increase in price. Some of these channels will be available to ‘Funtastic Life’ subscribers. Add that to the news of the new Cabo TV telephone service (for cable customers), that make a mockery of PT’s telephone charges, then Cabo TV is getting to be a pretty good deal.

Watch out for the gripe (flu) now Winter is approaching. During october you can buy your vaccination at chemists, priced between €7 and €8.50, depending on the brand. It was recommended for anyone over 65, especially if they live in an institution where the risk of cross infection is much greater, but also people with lung and breathing problems, or with heart, liver, or kidney weaknesses, or who suffer with diabetes, or anything that lowers the natural resistance of the body. Apparently, if you have an allergy to eggs you should avoid the vaccination.

Actually, this guy is a teacher, and teachers are never wrong, eh! Apparently car insurance is set to rocket generally by up to 20%.

bloggers comment – Whilst I have no source to confirm this fact, my insurance premium each year over the last 4 years has either stayed the same, or gone down. A 20% rise, if true, is therefore a bit of a bolt from the blue!
