  1. Don't know, Wools, she didn't reply to my last email sent several months ago.
  2. AnOther, I wish TeamedUp (or idun) could be here to look at your photos. I reckon you two could be the first forum members to star in Forum MasterChef. Or maybe Forum BakeOff?
  3. Lucky you! I'd have given anything to have met Claire IRL but I did meet Coops and I spoke on the phone with a couple of others.
  4. betise, how you have brought back memories! Yes, 5 element and Catalpa and the others you have mentioned. And how could we not have mentioned Claire? Then there were the other French folk: Frenchie and ericd some while later. Are there any French people left on the forum? They were so patient with my efforts to learn French and always so ready to correct errors without making you feel a dunce! betise, besides you, wasn't there someone else called maybe Emily who helped Coops with all that health stuff? Then powerdesel with that wonderful swagger of his....ha! ha! You always knew who to ask about specific things, eg Sunday Driver about anything to do with driving in France. Those were truly the days......
  5. Not that name but I remember someone who sounds like your man! What was his forum name? I do remember another Chris, Chris Head but he sadly had a lot of mental health problems, BEFORE it became fashionable to have these!
  6. AnOther, your move to Spain has obviously been a happy one and one that suits you....so félicitations on that. Must admit the restos sound incredible though I am sure Mrs A's cooking (from memory of the scrumptious treats you posted photos of) easily surpasses any of those restos' But, don't mention fuel bills, ours are literally through the roof! I am very envious..... So happy to have heard from you, I see you will stay forever YOUNG (ah...couldnt resist that one!)
  7. Same goes for the Acte de Vente....no need for anyone to "displace" themselves. BTW do you still need to appoint someone to have power of attourney the way you did in the "old days"? We were told this signatory could be a clerk or some such from the notaire's office. What is the current procedure, DL?
  8. Damn thing got posted before I'd finished. I meant to ask how is life treating you and Mrs A in Spain?
  9. Oh, how lovely to see you back, AnOther, even if briefly. Must remind you yet again, I STILL have my VALID French paper driving licence thanks to your timely advice😀 Not to forget all the other times you gave me excellent and much needed advice. How is life
  10. DL can I make an embarrassing confession? I had to google the Four Tops!!! Sometimes I think I stopped noticing things round about 1955.....
  11. I hope that this thread will remind the oldtimers (me? 2006) about how important a part this forum has played in their lives. And I hope the newbies will realise how the forum used to be lively and, yes, fun! Can we all make a huge effort to keep it going? After all, you don't need to be an expert in anything, you could have an opinion, a joke to share, a discovery to reveal to others. It's really not that difficult, is it?
  12. Agree with you totally about Cooperlola....I missed her posting here for years afterwards.
  13. YES, I noticed it only this morning.....drives me mad too;
  14. Wooly, you just leave us walkers out of it, OK?
  15. How could I have left off "reach out"? I've only just remembered this ghastly expression in the last couple of days when the Princess of Wales gave her speech about her cancer diagnosis. In no time at all, all sorts of bods "reached out" to her....including, naturally her brother- and sister- in-law. As though the poor woman doesn't have enough to contend with without all and sundry reaching out like that....uuuggghhhh! If I were her, I'd make sure I am well and truly out of reach! Can't people just approach or even contact someone instead?
