Better still, invest in a cordless impact driver - once tried you will never go back to a conventional drill/driver. With one, you can drive 100mm/6 screws into oak without a pilot hole - using a good quality bit

I do it with BT but think you need a UK business line for it to work.
Then simply dial: *21* 0033etc.etc. finish with#.
#21# to cancell.
You will be billed in UK as though the incoming call was dialled directly to France.

Google optimisation used to be a little hobby of mine some time ago.
Have things changed much in the last couple of years?
I looked at your Languedoc site and typed the url into google minus the www and .com.
Your site url should come up number one on the first page. It doesn't.
It seems your site url is almost invisible, apart from lots and lots of lovely links.
Suggest you check your logs to see the last time the googlebot paid you a visit.
I wonder if your site was down during the last crawl or maybe you are being penalised?

I too say good luck to them.
The only potential problem is that when one marries one's Mistress, it creates a job vacancy!

Limousin is a big area.
For the real thing, you will probably need to find a stone quarry with a stone-cutting facility.
Yellow pages "extraction en carrière"?
Look out for similar buildings under construction and ask the builder on site?
Artificial from the bricolage?
Salvage?
Around here (Creuse) most of the existing quoins seem to be brick or granite.
If all else fails, you'll just have to get your little axe out and start chipping away!

It seems the insurance box reappears several times during the booking process.
If I remember rightly, I had to tick the box to confirm insurance was NOT required.
I forgot to include my country in my address, corrected, and the box reappeared, tick to say no insurance. Omitted to tick the box agreeing Ryanair's terms, insurance box reappeared, ticked to say no insurance. You really have to be careful.
The dividing line between good business and sharp practice is often an ill-defined one.
Not sure which side of the line Ryanair are on in this instance.

We will be arriving in France on February 14th this year.
Can anyone recommend a restaurant/auberge for dinner near Gueret?
Do the French observe St Valentine's and do the restaurants get fully booked up on this day in France?

There is indeed a number for France Telecom from UK: 0033 155 786 056. Mon - Fri 08:30 to 20:00.
It was apparently set up for their growing English speaking clientele.
When I called, they seemed pleased that I could provide the telephone number of the previous owner. (I found mine on the Compromis de Vente). Not sure how necessary those details are though.
Everything was done over the phone, including taking my Bank details for payment. It's 46euros to reconnect an existing line, plus 13euros a month for the rental.

I'm currently in UK until next month and groping my way through pay as you go internet set-up from la poste.net.
I've got as far as receiving my adresse electronic and password.
The following doesn't seem to relate to Will's link or IE connection wizard.
e.g no dial-up number for connection. Is the tarif added to phone bill as in UK or do they take it directly?
It will be too late when I'm back in France without a connection!
Any idiot-proof advice gratefully received!

transferring email question
in French Satellite TV, French Internet and Telephone

I've just returned from France to UK.
While in France I collected and answered a dozen or so emails on my laptop. It would be more convenient to have these files on the desktop.
Anyone know how to transfer these mails onto my home pc, using a USB memory key? (or any other method)
The laptop is running Outlook 2000 and the home desktop Outlook Express.
