  1. [quote user="Quillan"]"I've never experienced a moderator so quick to (over) react on any other forum" I was told that the same type of post was posted on at least one other forum by you and that it was deleted (not locked) within minutes. At least you were given a fair chance here. As another member has said so many times before "it's good to debate", fine when it goes your way, when it doesn't, well it's a different matter. [/quote] Unless you are a Mod and then you can lock the thread or, even ignore the rules ..........................[:)][;-)] (remembered to bung the smileys on !)
  2. This was on earlier and was deleted !! What is going on ! And Simon has made 0 posts and I'm looking straight at one [:)] I asked if he was 'aving a larf and then two of the same threads, on differing sections went off, never to be seen again and now.....back comes another !! Simon put me down for, 5 yes, a couple of No's and three not sure's [:)]
  3. Get a grip peeps, this post is over 6 months old and Dodgy is probably selling diggers by now [;-)]
  4. Not in our two local villages but in Dinan 10 mins away, are a couple of cyber cafés or do you mean in a bibliothèque/Mairie or some other free(ish) access ?
  5. You could be right Clair but sometimes I get that same feeling about Forums and a Mod or two, on them  [:)][;-)] I agree Dotty, without people like him, this and other forums would be pretty dull places for a lot of the time.
  6. [quote] Hmmmmmmmm, yes but, around here we don't have the 'brit' population, we don't think it is aimed at 'us'. [/quote] I know TU but no doubt they will have seen on the TV and  read in the journals about all us Brits and our quirky habits, yes?
  7. [quote user="Dick Smith"] The 2 lanes on roundabouts is a similar bad dream. What on earth would possess a young woman (child in car) talking on the phone, lighting a cigarette, eating a sandwich, try to overtake me on the left on a tight roundabout? Does she think Volvos bend in the middle? I now take a central line and stick to it [/quote] [:D] [:D] And the arrows, that have, since roads began, pointed to the left but any fool knows it means straight on...even though many arrows actually point upwards to mean straight on....  [8-)]
  8. TU, Yes, we are getting more and more similar types of jokes like that around here, some taking the pee out of the way, the Brits come over and buy their pile of stones, live in a caravan, freeze in winter, boil in summer and many do seem genuinely astonished by it all.
  9. Firstly apologies, I haven't read it. I am just waiting now to see if anyone can pick the bones out of that post [;-)]
  10. [quote user="JJ"]Bugbear, Once again you are missing the point, what I mean when I mention road engineerring is not  just the condition of the road surface, I talking about junction layouts, white line systems, speed limits, etc etc and the ergonomics of the road system. In other words road layout design. The French are way behind in that dept, the UK has one of the lowest road death rates in europe. The original point I was trying to make is that cats eyes are an aid to road safety, I make quite a few early journeys in the darkness and cannot understand why they do not have them over here. [/quote] Even the most biased Francophile surely could not deny, that too many roads have been designed badly here. For example, cars using the same road for leaving as those entering a dual carriageway, such as one we have near us in Saint Malo, where two such places within 200 metres of each other, have been responsible for a few deaths over the years and several accidents per year, purely because of the bad design. Another one is to have far too short tails leading from one road to another at a sometimes busy juction, thus allowing large tailbacks at busy times, meaning cars are backed up on to another busy road. This I have seen far too often and what puzzles me, is the amount of land around, where a far larger distance of feed in, could be made to alleviate it totally. Although now, for a large part mostly faded out, roundabout priority should never have been allowed to evolutionise as it has. And why do they bother with 2 lanes on some roundabouts? The French in general will just use the outside lane and go round in that manner until departing it. Daughter says they are not taught like that these days but they just simply follow the leader, so to speak. And by the way, if you act as you should on the roundabouts and then have an accident with someone going all the way around on the outside and never signalling, no matter that you drove correctly, it is you to blame. Do I like the roads here ? Well yes in general but, one often has to be able drive against all road logic, one eye on the the sans permis and other people in a regular motor doing 50 kph on autoroutes and one on the other load of driving looneys...doesn't leave many eyes left to watch the road itself, does it !![;-)]
  11. [quote user="LanguedocGal2"][quote user="Miki"]Would me old lionels, cubans & tank top be able to be whooshed up a bit ? If so, you got yerselves a real groovy warlock on the Forum [:)] [/quote] Only if accompanied by the platforms, sideburns, flares and curly afro.[:-))] Can't get groovier than that! [/quote] That'll do for me....Warlock ready and willing, so get down and get wivvit [:)] Hermmmm, what do I do exactly [8-)]

  13. Cor lovely...never been a warlock of the Nord before. Just the job before me hols, won't bovver wiv me fong nah, off to look for gear to be a warlock. Any idea where I can purchase it, apart from Man at Warlock ? That'll make a few jealous   Miki the warlock..................Dick can be my aide du Normandie et Bretagne et Real Ale [:)] [quote] ....don’t care how much you resemble the gorgeous Scottish bloke [/quote] Billy Bremner, Joe Jordan or Jimmy Kranky ?

  14. Hattie Jacques ? Jimmy Tarbuck ?
  15. [quote] Dotty, did you see me guess his age wrong? Am I due a battering? [/quote] Yes, Cod face [:)] Fingers crossed & Feign Knights and no nasties back [:)][;-)]
  16. Who Dotty ? Hattie Jacques or Frankie Howard ?
  17. Did Hattie Jacques really say that ?
  18. Ooh err Matron, I say..... (apologies for the second, sorry,  umpteenth time that has come up in your life Mr Smith !)
  19. [quote user="Tresco"]Crikey Miki, you did well to raise a smile there.[/quote] I didn't actually understand the reply and just smiled, as you do, to humour dear old Mr Smith [:)]
  20. [quote user="Dick Smith"][quote user="Miki"]I thought Mac's didn't catch 'em ? [/quote] You're confusing me with your mate on that other forum. [/quote] [:D] [:D]
  21. I have had a few intoxicated ladies who have mentioned the likeness.......................[:D]
  22. Not so sure Dick, plenty of criticism there and rightly so. If one has had bad service from a national bank/company, we all need to know, well I know I would. As for individual small builders, well a little different, for obvious reasons. Read the money pages in the Nationals and see how many financial institutions get a battering for damned awful customer relations.   I have been on to my bank  today to get charges taken off (again) they did, so fair play but the bottom line is, they should not have been levied in the first place ! I think one should be able to offer fair criticism, it's just that too often sometimes Moderation isn't exactly equal.
  23. I thought Mac's didn't catch 'em ?
  24. [quote user="TWINKLE"]Am I the only one who imagines Miki to be a Sean Connery slurring 72 year old?  [/quote] No, I doosh too mish twinkshers (sounded like Sean when I typed it, have to wait and see how it sound when it arrives at L.F Headquarters [:)]  [quote]Miki's head was getting so big he nearly fell off his horse !  [/quote] [:)] I might back 'em but I don't ever got on 'em, big beasts that they are !! I hope the Hareem are in the wings, waiting with having breasts, ready to swing in to action whenever danger or a ban hits slurring Sean  [:)]  [quote] Tresco - surprisingly, but unbeknown to us both - sort of, somehow - ask him to explain.  All this forum's fault - never heard of him before. [/quote] Why not have a guess, first to come up with the right answer,  wins a weekend at Cerise's beautiful Chambres D'Hôtes, kindly offered by Living France (Gay, do sort it out  [;-)]  ) Old Dennis Waterman, how very dare you [:)]  That mean George Cole then ?.......Once had a similar titfer, or did have, it blew under a bus one day when I was trying to convince a couple that the car engine was not knocking that bad, it was just not level and the oil was on the other side of the engine. They didn't buy it and I lost me 'at...good days and bad days.....................................and happy days  [:D]
