  1. When some teams complain, it is justified when others do so it is whinging; generally the English do not so when they do it is justified. The French complain as a matter of culture.πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«πŸ™€πŸ˜œ
  2. Oh *ugger, so near yet so far! But was there an illegal something in the scrums by the Springboks?
  3. but what might it be? If fed to dictators would it stop wars? Ooops, upside down, please stand on head to see properly!
  4. My pharmacy said to wait two weeks between them.
  5. Well, if he started running from some way behind the line so he hit it running then he could have timed it right, and he also plays club with the other guy so he might have known predictors, which is what he said. I was driving at the time so am only speculating.
  6. The French captain has been bitching about the refereeing of the match, basically saying that the South Africans got away with stuff that should have been penalised? Did anyone think this or notice anything? Or is it just traditional French loser moaning? Though I must say that the rules are now so complex and obscure that I no longer understand them!
  7. I have definitely felt β€˜presences’ as did my mother; most recently there was a small room on Lisbon Castle that I just could not enter as I felt a great sense of violence there. Later we discovered that there had been murders in the room. My mother was the same; refused to go round Corfe Castle in Dorset and a small art gallery in Abbotsbury where, we later found out there had been a murder too. So, ghosts, maybe. By the way, the further west you go in France, ie Brittany and the further north and west in UK, the more ghosts there seem to be.
  8. Gardian, a little dirt never hurt anyone. I got the same comments from one of my kids, so I put out a full cleaning kit for them when she next came. No more comments!
  9. Something like this, perhaps? https://www.amazon.de/-/en/dp/B0B4SL12W9/ref=sr_1_5?crid=2M2WS8MG0NN7M&keywords=soda%2Bwater&qid=1696253945&sprefix=soda%2Bwater%2Caps%2C79&sr=8-5&th=1
  10. It was removed because it had not been screened to find out if it was a biological tree or a bush which claimed the right to be called a tree. Or perhaps it was a hoakx!πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«
  11. I have no idea, Minteroonie though with rates for borrowing money high, I am not sure more used cars will be forthcoming. I have been thinking of changing my manual Kia for an automatic but was gonna wait after New Year to look around. My present Kia, a Rio, (my second), was bought during the Covid shutdown when few people were looking so I got a good price for a low mileage car. Most of the reliability reports suggest that Japanese and Korean cars are the most reliable. By the way, Hyundai and Kia are the same company. Many of their cars are designed for the European market and built here. The Yaris, for example is made near Valenciennes, northern France.
  12. So, he sees the Eiffel Tower upside down? Maybe he should be given the Lego version, far better than the original!πŸ€ͺ
  13. James, the Eiffel Tower is not a person but a rather elegant building designed by a Monsieur Eiffel!😜
  14. Yes, Gardian, I lived and worked in Benghazi for a couple of years; the people were nothing but kindness. Derna which I visited once was less than attractive and seems to have grown hugely. It was known as the religious area of Cyrenaica. Very sad for the Libyans who have had enough chaos for several lifetimes and more. Perhaps Brand could dedicate his millions to helping rebuild the place!
  15. Vaccination campaign has been brought forward to early October, so keep alert folks. Must be spreading faster than thought. https://www.francetvinfo.fr/sante/maladie/coronavirus/covid-19-la-nouvelle-campagne-de-vaccination-est-avancee-au-2-octobre-en-raison-de-la-hausse-de-la-circulation-du-virus_6064461.html
  16. So, no more up dodocreek without your paddles, Mentherooonie. Maybe now paddle your own canute?πŸ˜œπŸ˜΅β€
  17. Property taxes going up sharply. Only worthwhile if you are there for several weeks. Brittany can be very wet, even in summer. Normandy a better bet, maybe?
  18. Macron trying to buy the farmers vote, again? Will have to buy carefully! https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/sep/14/france-pushes-for-more-factory-farming-in-food-u-turn
  19. Threw out the blades with the dough? Where? If in a bin send him to dig around it as punishment!
  20. Two families? House built to sell? He has two years to sell a previous property or he will pay full house taxes? To be rented?
  21. Never thought I would be watering my pots at the end of the first week of September, or that we would go so many days without a breath of wind, which I find very boring! So, the bulbs will have to wait until the weather is more propitious.
