  1. [quote user="Rose"]As well as echoing everyone's sentiment about these dreadful images I also have to ask who are they aimed at?  Are women meant to try to aspire to looking like this?   [:@]

    I think perhaps it is the "no such thing as bad publicity" shock tactic.  We are talking about it, following the links, viewing the photos.  The brands being advertised get huge publicity, in a way that non-controversial adverts would never get.

  2. I don't think it's a compatibility problem sweet, my message box has gone all titchy too.

    It was OK first thing this morning, I've done no windows updates since then, but now it's gone bazookas!

    You can try hitting the "torn page" compatibility button if you like though, it's at the top right of your browser window, just beside the address bar.
  3. Without wishing to get into the "dangerous dog" argument (negligent owners might often be a better description)...

    having thought about it as instructed, I see that most of the 28 people killed by dogs were children, all bar 1 of the rest were people killed by dogs that were not their own.

    The number of women who are killed by their partners is appalling, but is actually around 160, according to the figures that I can find online.

  4. [quote user="NormanH"]It comes down to who decides on need.
    I have to pay for mine in the nursing home , even though I have had such a low white blood count that I risked infection.

    That's shocking.

    Maybe it's as much of a postcode lottery in France as the UK then.  I had a severely depleted white blood cell count and accompanying infection a few weeks ago, and was given a single room in a private clinic, along with reverse barrier nursing care.

    1. If you want a Single Room this has to be paid for either by you or your Mutuelle.

      It is around 45 Euros a day, and most Mutuelles have a limit on how many days they will cover, often multiple of 30, such as 30/60/90 etc. Make sure you know how many days you have covered

    If you ask for a single room, you (or your mutuelle) will have to cover the cost, but if you need (or are given) a single room in hospital or private clinic, there is no extra charge.
  6. Please add my name to the ever growing list of those that wish Coops a very short stay in hospital and a speedy recovery.

    From one who has recently "escaped" herself.

  7. A whole barrel of them!

    The bit in your email about ...

    "Mon mari et moi avons décidé d'aller en vacances hors du pays chez notre curé(parrain de notre mariage)pour notre lune de miel"

    Notice the part I have but in bold?  You can find exactly the same spacing error in most of these scam reports...  some nasty little scam artist has been doing a lot of copy-pasting.

     

    EDIT, in case it isn't obvious, it's the car shipping/transport scam.

  8. I had it happen quite a bit a few days ago, but it's working fine now.

    You could perhaps try clearing your browser's cache..

    But, curiouser and curiouser, by way of testing a theory, I logged off the forum, hit the active topics link (which worked) and then tried to log back in again.  I couldn't get back in, kept getting the The username and password you have entered do not match our records error.  After about 5 attempts, I remembered the post by Polly http://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/2572326/ShowPost.aspx  and tried logging in with caps lock on (CAPITALS) and blow me, it worked.  Must be a coincidence thought I, so tried it a few more times.  I never got back in unless I put logged in in CAPS!

    I shall have to eat my words [8-)]
