The Diario photo is amazing… another great one with a statue appearing to try and stop the waves is at funchaldailyphoto (dot) blogspot (dot) com

I don’t envy your journey back to Madeira, Sue… sounds like a complete nightmare. Hope the weather has calmed down now, but exciting to “watch” it from afar!

Pete, Voipstunt is what you need, its free to landlines, you put 10Euros on then you have 120 free days of calls , i think they have a fair usage policy of 300 mins a week , but i have never been over that, and i call family every day. Once you 120 days have finished you need to put another 10 euros for 120 free days, your first 10 euros rolls over so you dont lose it , and i use my built up credit to call mobiles to have a cheap month on my mobile every so often.

with Jajah.com some calls are free if both parties are registered. Otherwise the cost is very low when calling to a landline to landline, more to a cell. I think there may be a free intro offer.

When Madeira has bad weather it produces the best in the region–Scary!
Stormchaster Tobi’s photos are most interesting and informative.
I couldn’t quite get to grips with the events until film and photos appeared.
Thanks Tobi and also the picturetaker of the “running man”.

Opening for a brolly and sou-wester shop?

Hi Pete

There isn’t a totally free service to landline as far as I am aware only computer to computer, ie: skype – skype.
However, once you have put 10 euros credit on Voipstunt you can then call any landline free for 120 days and with Skype again you need to put on 10 euros and then each call will cost a small amount per minute but you will be able to see how much you are spending.

Can you please help me with an enquiry. Do you know any free
computer to landline calls on web? I used media ringtalk, that give me
free 10 mins but that stoped as I am on Windows 7. I tryed Voipstunt,
that worked once for 9 mins, then said you need credit. Any help would be
warmly welcomed.

Well what a welcome back yesterday!! we were overhead around 1030 on time (due to land at 1040) one hour later no go and off to Tenerife, where they let us sit on the plane for one and a half hours. Then we ‘had’ to leave the plane with all the hand luggage etc. and go for drinks and something to eat – sounds good – ha ha. We were put in a transit room with two vending machines absolutely gross. Eventually back to the plane a couple more wines to keep us going and back to Madeira. The Captain said not too good and the plane ahead of him had to abort – you really need that info when you are about to go in!! Anyway he made a fantastic landing and the usual cheers went up – we got back 5 hours late!! Anyway to day looks a little better. Into clearing out cases, washing etc. so hopefully by Monday we will be back in school.
