Hi all, Getting back to the possible need for extra evidence for criminal damage cases, can I suggest using a dvd/video recorder at times where these instances occur.  Even a digital camera these days can take pics in very low light levels.  I am an ex-police officer and also ex- Brit military.  Sneeky beeky is the way to go to go.   

Hi sunday driver,   It's a Yamaha Thundercat sports tourer, 600cc  73Kw at11500rpm, first registered in Aug 1997

Hi everyone.  Can anyone give me help on re-registering a motorbike in France from the UK.  I have heard that is is easier if it is registered after 1996 in the uk??  

Hi Teamedup, Thanks for getting back to us over the CPAM and NI info.  It is clearer now and will take on board all advice.  Sounds obvious now about Google.  Thanks again.  

Thanks for the reply Teamedup, Just a couple of things......you say we should have contacted Newcastle.......who exactly.  We have still business interests in the UK and are commuting at the mo.  When this ends if at all what is CPAM.  I appriciate some people may have knowledge of these specific details but for us who have just moved please humour us and be a little more exact.  We do appriciate all information given and it is all noted and absorbed.  Thanks again.

Hi Folks, Sorry to hear of your wife's snake phobia, as I am exactly the same, but I also find them facinating. I agree with the chickens idea and also make them know you are coming by making loud footsteps and noise in general.  I have just moved to the Vendee and am in a part called the Marais Poitevin, marshland with lots of ditches and waterways.  Perfect for snakes and there are some big 'uns. BUT...they all ****** off with tout vitesse if they hear people( or should I say feel our vibrations as snakes have no ears).  The vipers you may have are probably the Common Viper or Adder.  I have never seen one as I make a lot of noise on my photographic forays into the Venise Verte, but I have seen several Grass snakes of varying sizes as they make a quick dash for cover on my appearance.  The Adder's bite is venomous but is never fatal if medical assistance is sought asap.  If you get bitten try not to run from the scene as this will hasten the venom into the blood stream. Wash area with cold water and apply a loose dressing. Call the POMPIERS ( who act as ambulances and Paramedics ) or take the casuaty to the URGENCES at hospital. NEVER SUCK OUT SNAKE VENOM...it is a tissue damaging type that is SIMILAR to rattlesnake venom but not as potent.  Snakes are wonderful creatures and it would be great if you can live with them rather than kill them. I hope this has helped.  

Hi everyone, I have just moved to France with my Wife and am needing information on joining the french health system.  How do I join and where do I go.  I am 35 and my wife is 37.  We intend to start up our own businesses when I have finished the house( hopefully this year), my wife makes stained glass windows and glass jewllery, and I am a portrait/landscape photographer. Any info would be greatly appriciated
