  1. [quote user="Teamedup"]A few minutes ago whilst I was typing a reply on this board, my key board went from azerty to qwerty all on it's own and now it has gone back to azerty all on it's own. What is happening? Is it my computer or is it your program?   good job I can touch type in either azerty or qwerty, otherwise I would have been lost wouldn't I!     [/quote] Hi TU,     it may be that a key sequence has been set up on your computer/keyboard that when struck together change the layout between the two, do you have an aspiring IT person in your household? best regards [IMG]http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g130/dago49/Dago3.jpg[/IMG]

  5. [quote user="Miki"]Yes, poor Brian. "Romani ite domum" Poor Brian had to write his wrongs out, rightly, a hundred times [:)] So perhaps any offenders of the  i error, should be made to write out I me and my in capitals  a hundred times and to serve a month on the Living Albania forum, as further humiliation. That'll learn 'em [:)] [/quote] bUT i dON'T sPEAK aLBANIAN..... [IMG]http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g130/dago49/Dago3.jpg[/IMG]
  6. [quote user="Dick Smith"]No, Dago, I think you are misreading what Chief said. I believe that he means that if the idea of speaking French in France offends you (which was the OP's point, whatever she said later) then go elsewhere. Not that if you can't speak French you shouldn't go there or be thrown out. We all know how far a little French can get you if you show the right attitude. Is it not written, "It will never get better if you scratch it"? [/quote] Point taken Dick, but Chief did go on to say  "If i had my way, you wouldn't even be allowed to emigrate until you could speak the language of your chosen destination." seems a bit extreme but no more so than the original post. It will remain a 'hot' subject with more debate to come. best regards [IMG]http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g130/dago49/Dago3.jpg[/IMG]
  7. [quote user="Chief"][quote user="wen"]  I think this attitiude...we are in France so we ALL have to speak French to the French just encourages the already exisiting discrimination and racism that exists here. And believe me, I have witnessed it here first hand. [/quote] Have to say i find your proposition astounding.  As a black man living in England (Born and bred), who constantly has to listen to pathetic diatribe from so called 'in the knows' who constantly bleat about 'Johnnie Foreigner' not even speaking 'our' language and doing things 'our' way, to hear you whine about having to speak French, IN FRANCE, is pathetic and hypocritical. If i had my way, you wouldn't even be allowed to emigrate until you could speak the language of your chosen destination.  If speaking French IN FRANCE is a problem for you......LEAVE. [/quote] Sorry Chief but aren't you just making the case for those that 'bleat about Johnnie Foreigner not even speaking our language' by saying that 'if speaking French in France is a problem..then leave' because that would make the statement (not yours) 'If speaking English in England is a problem then you should leave' I speak very poor French, largely I feel because my English grammar is so poor so learning a new language is difficult for me although I do try, do you think that I should leave France? I subscribe to neither of the above staements, I only agree if it is aimed at those who choose NOT to even try. [IMG]http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g130/dago49/Dago3.jpg[/IMG]

  9. Great links Dick, thanks, prompted me to get out the Canned Heat CD's, I am boogieing (?) round doing my housework now before she who must be obeyed gets home[:D] best regards [IMG]http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g130/dago49/Dago3.jpg[/IMG] "play it loud enough to make your ears bleed." do your pupils know how cool you are?[8-|]
  10. Hi,      I seem to remember a friend of our going to Briconautes in Sarlat and buying some very nice door handles and saying that the selection there was OK. http://www.les-briconautes.fr/ this will help you to find one in your area.  Good luck best regards [IMG]http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g130/dago49/Dago3.jpg[/IMG]

  12. [quote user="Susie24"]If I come across a word I'm not sure of (particularly when reading the French news websites) I open up WordReference on line dictionary in a new tab and quickly look it up, takes seconds and you often learn other uses/contexts of the word too. Edit: for some reason I just cannot get a link to this site to work so highlight the address below, left click and 'search web for'. www.wordreference.com/fr/index (links edited by a moderator)[/quote] The link worked Susie and a very good and useful link it is too......[:D]  thank you. best regards [IMG]http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g130/dago49/Dago3.jpg[/IMG]

  15. We are entering our 5th year here in France and although my French language has improved I do not think I will ever become fluent. I am being helped by by a young French boy of 11, he always trys to get me to pronounce words correctly but I just cannot get my tongue round some of the rolling R's (no comment) he is learning English and is quite happy to correct MY English for me, South London is not taught in the schools here it seems...! dunno why. Yesterday I went with a French friend to help move wood on another friend's farm, before starting work we sat in a nice warm kitchen and tried out his home brew from rasin marc through the prune to the pomme, they spoke very quickly and I knew they were speaking about politics only because I caught 'sarkozy' in amongst the chat. I do wish that one day I would understand more so that I could join in and although I do make the effort my lack of English is probably what lets me down because when I get onto grammar then I just would not understand some of it in English so have NO chance with French. I think that what I ma trying to say is that if you try and then get it wrong you have to just keep on trying. Even reading this I can see that it is wrong but i don't know why it's wrong...oh, I found my cat keys by the way.....they were in the ignition...al night! best regards Dago[:D]
  16. Does anyone know where I left my car keys? best regards Dago
