Kong wrote Great thing about bleach from an eco point of view is it breaks down and therefore doesn't do long term damage like salt/vinegar mixes do. Not convinced can you show evidence for this idea its eco friendly the weeds will not agree salt and vinegar are natural products, bleach aint Wonder what the snails worms etc think as they burn to death

Satellite for Internet & TV
grumpyaudeman replied to clairegs's topic in French Satellite TV, French Internet and Telephone
I have just looked at the web site you refer to, its not accurate it states for me less than 3 MB but I have via copper wire 11.5 MB I also looked at my last home 3 months ago it stated less than 3 MB I was getting much higher 7,5MB going further back 3 years I was getting 1.25 MB in an area now 10 MB plus but I was in the middle of nowhere at the end of long copperline -

Hi I imagine you will have at least a copper connection and get a slow internet connection I lived for a few years out side of Freesat TV and managed with slow 1.25 MB internet connection via a VPN to watch UK television threw the BBCiplayer What you are thinking about is very expensive and does have download limits -
Military service in France
grumpyaudeman replied to woolybanana's topic in The Complete France Post Bag
The first prerogative of any government is to protect its people I suggest that means supporting a a viable arm force at all times If in need all andy pandy poofdeywoofeders need to enroll to support its nation It will be good to identify individuals who are prepared to act in different rolls aggressive or supportive or even non participants for future national military force -

grumpyaudeman replied to NickP's topic in French Satellite TV, French Internet and Telephone
Its just two wires, grey and white easily done, never asked anybody in the last 4 homes but it worked both telephone and internet -
Its a shame the forum is going it was once great,back in 2008 I started a thread "Found in the garden" as basquesteve, Chris helped a lot it and ran for 140 pages over the years but due to photo bucket pulling the plug me giving the schoolboy formula for gunpowder and having a great argument till 5 in the morning re Hydrangeas was banned PS The Aude is crap now back in the Bearn tis home

On average two and a bit fumblings every day for many years must be a wankers record, a complete tea pot

Good luck But I disagree "Biggest unrealistic expectation was the Winter weather, which I found even on the Med much wetter and colder than expected. So if avoiding Winter heating bills is an objective, France is not the place! " Here in the Aude it never rains "Last but not least France has got expensive, especially in the south," Dead cheap here I have lived in France 21 years Correze , Pays Basque Aude what a dump and now moving back to the Bearn It's madness returning to the UK

It seems two view points are raised I would welcome an organ in need and offer my own If that offends you and you do not wish to accept others donations to extend your life/quality so what If your car or washing machine breaks down do you not happily replace the broken part or go for rebirth Why is this for you so great issue

I think I have a wasp's nest in my chimney
grumpyaudeman replied to Ian's topic in House Renovations
Quotes Be careful, they may be Asian Hornets (frelons asiatique) and they have a nasty temper if you pîss them off. Good luck with the annoying creatures, do they have a useful purpose?... My 21 years of knowing Asian Hornets are they are not hot tempered and probably less aggressive than the European species and they do not fly at night As for a purpose yes many garden pests are whipped away and eaten Paper Wasps are the worst -
HI Thats a hard one Balsa is a hardwood and easy to stick a pin in so density and hardness do not figure Softwoods are pines /conifers, perhaps a good sniff will help I can recognize most wood by colour and grain but it needs hands on to tell

What is that stuff called ???
grumpyaudeman replied to alittlebitfrench's topic in Driving in France
Hi nomoss I always thought ex or X was the unknown factor,rather than a has-been, it sounds more logical to me Whats a " has been" in engineering is it Brunel or Stephenson? -
Hi I would leave them alone unless you keep Bees after many years they have never threatened me as for being allergic the wasp intends to hurt you and what ever pain loss off life it causes is in its favour to leave it be

You can go to any optician you wish, who can then supply the correct glasses, as I have had (800 Euros) The ophthalmologist after a long wait checks your eyes medically and the prescription every 2/3 years, its not cheap but great to find alls OK
