Thanks for the clarification to my last question (I don't know what wrong with the formatting in my last post !?!?) Anyway, a secondary question please.  What type of mincer/stuffer do you use?  I've seen manual and electric ones.  I think I even have an attachment for a Kenwood Chef but goodness knows where it might be, not having been used since we got the mixer over 30 years ago!

Does he mean that it will start off with a magnificent fanfare and then sink when it gets about half way with enormous losses?

Getting back to the original thread, can someone be so kind as to explain the difference between 'natural hog casings' and 'Collagen Sausage Casing Skins' ?  I'm thinking that the latter are the artificial 'cling film' like casings?

Check out your local archery clubs.  One of the best archers I ever knew was a wheelchair user. This LINK may be useful

I grew leeks for the first time this year. In the spring I got 100 seedling from a local nursery for a couple of euros, well I say 100 but there was closer to double that and I was planting them everywhere and giving loads away.  They grew well and whilst  they are not huge (down to my lack of watering I think) they are tender and tasty.  Will definitely do it again next year. Edit:  Gluey, you may know the nursery at Dennebroeucq, near Denlys Parc. I always go there for veg, toms, bedding plants as they are of excellent quality - highly recommended

[quote user="mogs"] I'm bound to be getting up to use the toilet so will have a peep out then.[/quote] S'funny, I use a telescope to look at celestial objects  [;-)] Although I was awake at that time (listening to the Cricket from Bangladesh) it was 100% cloud cover so no chance [:(]

How do you kill a clown? Go for the juggler Why should you open the door for a clown? It's a nice jester Two cannibals eating a clown, one says 'Does this taste funny to you?' I'll get me coat  [:$]

A little known fact is that a nuclear device accidentally detonated on Canvey Island in Essex. I was kept quiet as it improved the whole environment at a cost of £5.37 in damage [;-)]

I was wondering why I was looking at places to survive.  What a miserable agonising slow death from radiation poisoning or starvation. Perhaps it would just be better to suffer the massive gamma ray burst and maybe briefly see your own bones before they explode (bones preferentially absorb gamma rays) You would stop being biology and start being physics way before your brain could even notice.

Interesting question. It's funny but I had always thought that if anything kicked off with the Russkies that it would be in Estonia or Latvia not some Middle East dust bowl that nobody wants. So, probably easier to eliminate places. Population centres: Paris, Lyon, Bordeaux, Grenoble? Military and strategic bases: Brest,Toulouse, Marseilles, Strasbourg, La Rochelle? Calais? So I would suggest either in the Jura to hop across to Switzerland or Biarritz to go to Spain or Andorra. I disagree with the skiing comment.  With a Nuclear Winter there should be great skiing all year round

HSD have PM'd you

My Adult Education French teacher came from Tours and was often going on about how wonderful it was.  I thought yeah, yeah - everybody in France thinks their bit is best. Then I went there Stunningly lovely place and surrounds, even the train station is a work of art Pity it's so far from the sea [;-)]

All clowns are evil

[quote user="Chancer"]https://www.leboncoin.fr/ventes_immobilieres/753903827.htm?ca=15_s 3rd posting, marked for my attention. [/quote] Ah! now the postings make sense - I was still looking at the link in the first post [:$]

Am I looking at the correct advertisement? The one in your link gives me a  'maison de ville à rénover' and the pictures show it is in need of much more than a lick of paint. Also, no mention of 10 apartments

Very true.  I've had to scrape ice off my windscreen twice in the last week and the forecast is even colder

I like the sound of a mandolin (or mandoline). Wikipedia has a good article on them https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandolin A quick search on ebay reveals quite a few for sale at very reasonable prices (of course you can pay 1000's for some examples) If you put the following in the ebay search box   (mandolin,mandoline) including the brackets , restrict your region to European only (as postage from USA is prohibitive) and select the category 'Musical Instruments' then you get a lot of hits If you are not familiar with it, the reason for putting   (mandolin,mandoline)  is so you can simultaneously search for both spellings at the same time EDIT: I just realised that my last sentence was a great big fat tautology - sorry about that [:$]

Well it's not far from La Bresse so you could have weekends skiing and wonderful walking country in the summer. It is in need of complete renovation though and the perceived wisdom here is that you have to budget for a grand per sq metre. so 90 sq Metres and you're in for €90K on top of the purchase price. Can't see anyone recouping that in this lifetime

Well my office has an Auchan view and I've already seen them circling. They go round and round gaining height.  I wonder if they do that at the Kirchberg as it is high up and maybe rising heat coming off all the office blocks?

[quote user="Chancer"] I still have his patternmakers rule which I have cruelly tricked many people with over the years!!![/quote] I have to admit that I had to Google 'pattern makers rule' as I had no idea what it was

I like tall birds with long legs [;-)] The grues are circling overhead, forming up into massive flocks.  On the radio they said it was normal for this time of year but did not give dates compared to previous years. I think Autumn has definitely arrived as I had to scrape ice off my windscreen for the first time since early Spring

That looks brilliant. Pity they don't do it for tiles but I suppose that would be much more difficult

It was reported in the local news this morning that a woman was sitting on her own terrace when she started bleeding profusely from her face. She was stabilised then taken to Belgium to have a bullet removed. It turns out she had been shot by one of three hunters nearby who were subsequently detained by the police and the guns confiscated for tests. This was in Luxembourg but it could have been almost anywhere. Every year we hear of hunters shooting themselves and their friends, this is the first time I heard of a 'civillian' being shot.

Yeah but only for DC circuits. For AC you have to consider reactance as well to calculate the impedance Gosh, I dragged that up from my A level physics which was many years ago!

How could having stents put in not be considered a 'necessary Op' and 100% paid for?
