  1. I bought stick on hooks because I did not want to drill holes in my new oak windows
  2. Do not think it works the same .You can only cancel the contract and then reapply for a new contract with the ensuing hassle of waiting for the line to be active.
  3. Yes, I am a dependant and my spouse is the holder of an S1 with me older by 3 years piggybacking
  4. To answer that question. You can tow a caravan with a French car driving licence (Permis B) provided the combined weight does not exceed 3500kgs. AS most caravan/car combinations are within this limit there will be no problem
  5. Another banker at it http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/world-news/former-banker-held-over-sex-charge-16006511.html
  6. For clarity ,and in the particular case of the OP. URSSAF or Unions de Recouvrement des Cotisations de Sécurité Sociale et d'Allocations Familiales,are the collection agency for CPAM . If you have French health care via CMU then URSSAF are the people who collect your payments, however appart from paying them there should be no need for any contact with them ,as you will deal with CPAM
  7. From service public http://vosdroits.service-public.fr/particuliers/F2653.xhtml Séjour de la famille non-européenne durant les 5 premières années Titre de séjour obligatoire Les membres de famille majeurs (ou de plus de 16 ans s'ils veulent travailler) non européens doivent détenir un titre de séjour. Ils doivent le demander dans les 3 mois de leur entrée en France. Dans un délai maximum de 6 mois, une carte "CE - membre de famille - toutes activités professionnelles" leur est délivrée, sous réserve d'absence de menace pour l'ordre public. Cette carte est de même durée que le titre du citoyen européen ou, s'il ne l'a pas demandé, de celui auquel il peut prétendre, dans la limite de 5 ans.
  8. If you have found an account of the accident does that not say which hospital your friend is in ? Then telephone the hospital .
  9. What personal knowledge do you have that leads you to believe that This killer was religious ? and more importantly His religion lead him to commit these murders?
  10. If we become less tolerant of these right wing groups/people then the actions in Norway will have succeeded. We must show these people that their intolerance cannot win.
  11. I do not believe that idle speculation is helpful. I do not quite understand the alleged fact he is a freemason has anything to do with the apparent fact he killed more than 90 people. Can anyone clarify
  12. It must be wonderful to have 20/20 hindsight. It must also be wonderful to not have to take life threatening decisions. However you appear to have appointed yourself a one man judge and jury despite other judges and juries having found the person in question non culpable.
  13. It is also worth remembering that the police were dealing with a new phenomenon, the suicide bomber. How do you stop such a person, who is intent on killing himself along with the maximum number of others. You cannot ask him very nicely to kindly stop while his details are checked. Well ,you could but boom?
  14. No one ever criticises the "friendly fire " incidents but are quite happy to have a go at police officers who are even more constrained about when they can shoot.
  15. [quote user="Christine Animal"][quote user="Boiling a frog"][quote user="Christine Animal"]   There seems to be a misunderstanding about this.  Most of us or many of us prefer a loving relationship and would not act as mentioned above. But, there are people who do and as long as it is between consenting adults, that's their affair not ours.    [/quote] Many of us, on the other hand, expect our elected leaders to be beyond reproach and with high moral standards. Leading by example. [/quote] And do you think many of them are?   [/quote] The public expect them to be,  that is the important thing and as far as I am concerned DSK has been found out

Your option seems to be that if he wants to indulge in some grubby little sex act with ,at best , a consenting adult whom he has just met, then that is his private business and does not affect his public life and aspirations to be the President of France. Many of us, on the other hand, expect our elected leaders to be beyond reproach and with high moral standards. Leading by example.

  18.   Is a WW plate valid 1 month .A clue in the photo, there is a WW on the No plate [;-)]     Is a number plate issued where the owner ,who lives outside the EU has bought the vehicle new, has not paid TVA and is allowed to use it in France for up to 6 months prior to it being exported. THe clue is the 11   09   that is the date by which it must leave France
  19. Oh dear that is a registration plate for a vehicle which is going to be exported ,bought new ,and TVA not paid.
  20. 1) Forget about it, leave it where it is. or 2) Reregister it, which should be fairly simple, given that it is a 2006 model ,it probably onle needs the fog lights changed round(if there only is one) the gas regulator changed, perhaps the sockets changed to French types and an inspection perhaps 500€ in total. 3) put on a low loader and have it transported back to the UK. 4) Find some kind soul with a UK reg car and towbar to tow it back for you.
  21. [quote user="woolybanana"]The decision to proceed in private was that of the investigating police, no doubt prompted by the force being investigated. Old cops network![/quote] The decision to proceed in private was that of the investigating police, no doubt prompted by the force being investigated. Old cops network Extracted from the regulations governing Police disciplinary investigations and enquiries (5) Where a misconduct hearing arises from a case to which paragraph 19 of Schedule 3 to the 2002 Act (investigations by the Commission) applied and the Commission considers that because of the gravity of the case or other exceptional circumstances it would be in the public interest to do so, the Commission may, having consulted with— (a)the appropriate authority; (b)the officer concerned; (c)the complainant or interested person; and (d)any witnesses, direct that the whole or part of the misconduct hearing be held in public. As this was not a case investigated by the IPCC but only supervised by them then this regulation applies and the IPCC did not direct that the hearing be in public .
  22. You will have to take that up with the Government of Great Britain then, because it is them that set the rules ,not the Police. It is not a kangaroo court by any stretch of the imagination A kangaroo court is defined thus A kangaroo court or kangaroo trial is a colloquial term for a sham legal proceeding or court. The outcome of a trial by kangaroo court is essentially determined in advance, usually for the purpose of ensuring conviction, either by going through the motions of manipulated procedure or by allowing no defense at all. A kangaroo court's proceedings deny due process rights in the name of expediency. Such rights include the right to summon witnesses, the right of cross-examination, the right not to incriminate oneself, the right not to be tried on secret evidence, the right to control one's own defense, the right to exclude evidence that is improperly obtained, irrelevant or inherently inadmissible, e.g., hearsay, the right to exclude judges or jurors on the grounds of partiality or conflict of interest, and the right of appeal. None of the above apply to police misconduct hearings the process of which are set out in an act of parliament. Further reading on the subject can be found by doing a google. It is interesting to note that the outcome is based not on beyond reasonable doubt but on the balance of probabilities which is obviously a lesser degree of proof than in a criminal court.
  23. The Old age pensioner was tried and sentenced at the Magistrates court some time ago. That was why the video of the stop came into the public domaine. The IPCC then supervised a discipline enquiry because of the actions of the officers The other day they were dealt with via an internal disciplinary hearing at which A spokesman for the force said: “Gwent Police follows strict national guidelines and procedures when dealing with complaints and any subsequent disciplinary hearings. “In this case, the internal investigation was supervised by the Independent Police Complaints Commission and the disciplinary panel, in accordance with standard national guidelines, was made up of senior officers from another force area. “The complainant had the right to attend proceedings and did so. Public hearings are held when the IPCC deems it appropriate and only in IPCC independent investigations and not supervised investigations. “It must be remembered that the disciplinary panel came to their decision after hearing and viewing evidence relating to the entire incident and not just the isolated CCTV footage. “The panel concluded that the actions of the officers were justified and met the highest standards of professional behaviour expected of Gwent Police officers.”
