Anyone interested in starting an Airsoft team Royan/Saintes area? - if so, drop me a line [;)] If you don't know what it is and want to take a look  -  http://associationofbritishairsoft.org or http://www.france-airsoft.com in French

[quote]Since when was The Aviator an English film?[/quote] With regard to the Aviator being a UK film, I seem to remember that it was financed by UK money. It's the origin of the finance, rather than the nationality of the crew, cast or location, that gives the film its "nationality" Riccardo (Bx)

Hi all, My place is near the beach at Royan, and I have been pondering for a while about taking up sea fishing, but I don't know anyone that sea fishes. I am a complete newbie. Any offers of tuiton or advice out there?

A useful hint in how to take your Internet Explorer bookmarks with you: On the top line menu, go to File/Import and Export and click on it. The Import & Export Wizard programme starts, choose export Favourites. It will display the contents of the Favourites folder, you decide which sub-folder you wish to save, or, if you want all of them, highlight the Favouries folder, and all of the subfolders will be exported in one. I will then ask where you wish to place the saved Favourites, usually defaulting to the My Documents folder (you can change the destination if you wish, to another folder of your choice). Click on the "next" button, the wizard goes to the next page and click "Finish". the programme will tell you via a pop-up button, when the the export is complete and a document called Bookmarks.html will have been created in your chosen folder. You can carry then around with you on a floppy disk, but better still, upload the document to a website and get international access to you bookmarks. Most IPs provide you with limited amount of web space, so upload the Bookmark.htm (or html) to your IPs file path using a prog such as WS FTP Pro - a file transfer tool. In my case visit : http://www.rick.inuk.com/bookmark.htm feel free to take a look to see the final result & use the links if you wish. The page can now be accessed anywhere, on a Pals computer in the UK or in an Internet Cafe in Paris. You can also upload Word, Excel documents, scanned in building plans, legal documents or computer programs there, but beware, ISPs frown on "unofficial" use of storage space, and reserve the right to close your site down unless the items uploaded are being used on your "website" as you are using up their server storage space. Enjoy.......

I've used CCF in Royan since last April, friendly and efficient. Emailed enquiries are usually responded to within 24hrs, I applied via email for the bankers draft to buy my place, and they accepted a scanned in copy of a household bill as proof of my UK address, after I had opened my account (with passport & HSBC Switch Card) and had returned home. After being introduced to the Directrice, she gave me her direct office number in the event I would prefer to discuss banking problems/questions in English. I've only ever paid for transfers in the UK, never any charges (so far) from CCF, and they have internet banking should you require it. My Carte Bleu & cheque books were sent to the UK by registered post, (without charge to me) statements are sent to the UK by normal mail. I'm happy so far..... Rick
