Hi to all, Does anyone have a french alphabet with the sounds next to it (i.e. phonetic). We are starting a french/english conversation group in our village and we were spelling out our names, so it would help to have such a list. Many thanks in advance. Suey

Thanks Clair but its not a bi-annual, because of family history its been recommended that I have them annually (I am 49 so not in the scheme yet for the bi-annual). My doctor has already done the script for it, so I will try the Somme radiology place as its quite close. Suey

I have to go for my yearly Mammogram. I live in Pas de Calais and had my last mammo in the Somme. Is it allowed for me to still do this as I understand there has been a change in cross department rules. I may have got it wrong - of course! Thanks Suey

Yippee done it and its working!! (at the moment) Suey

Hi Pierre ZFP. The model number is Eee PC 701SD Suey

Have been with tele2 for about two years and have had no probs. 34.90€ per month includes all international calls all day every day, plus internet and (if we lived in the right area) TV. Don't pay for line, thats included. Very good. They have now been taken over by or have amalgamated with SFR. Suey

A friend has asked for assistance with connecting teleconnect to her mini laptop eee pc (which I think is linux) - has anyone experience of this? Thanks Suey

We use Globelink http://www.globelink.uk.com/ very user friendly. Suey

Thankyou for all responses. Have resolved problem by purchasing light fittings from Leroy Merlin that do not need earthing. Suey's other arf

Yep have decided on the first option, we'll buy a new french light fitting! Thanks Teapot Suey's other half (actually better half! but don't tell her)

I have just taken down a light fitting in my kitchen and have discovered that only two wires went to it (a blue and a black but no earth). The new light fitting has a place for an earth wire and says that it should be earthed. HELP what should I do. House was rewired four years ago. Suey's other half

We have about 4 inches but its now sleeting!! Don't know what's worse. Roads here not gritted either! Even main roads. Suey

Quite heavy snow here, is everyone okay? Suey

When we took over the insurance on our house from the previous owners of the house we discovered that the property assured was actually their address in Kent!!  They or their insurer had inadvertently put in the wrong information!  I do wonder what would have happened if they had had to claim! Suey

Thanks Ali Cat - its just that hubby wanted to do a recipe today and it had fresh dill in it and its impossible to get it in the supermarche. Suey

It was called Tincture of Violet (or gentian violet) in the olden days (well when my hubby worked in racing stables many, many years ago).   Hope this helps. Suey ps sorry he also said that green oils are excellent - helps the wound heal from within http://www.hyperdrug.co.uk/prodinfo.asp?number=GRE500

Is it possible to grow Dill and Fennel in the north of France? Thanks Suey

We were advised by our new insurance brokers to use the letter of resiliation as the envelope and fold it and sellotape it, put the address on the outside and post it like that recommande.  The old insurance company cannot then claim that the envelope was empty!! Sneaky eh?! Suey

[quote user="Cynthia Shagpiece"][quote user="sueyh"] Oh and back on the radio too.  Can't stand that giggling, simpering sidekick of his either.  Come back Jo Brand, Lisa Tarbuck or Richard Allinson, please. Suey [/quote] And Jimmy Young, he was amazing! He had a beautiful singing voice too. I loved his version of Donald where's your troosers. [/quote] Bit of a misunderstanding me thinks. No Cynthia, Jimmy Young has never sat in for Mr. Ross while he was off suspended for his wrong doings!! suey

Steady now Bugbear, you'll have your bits chopped by the Moderators!! Oooh painful! Suey

Oh and back on the radio too.  Can't stand that giggling, simpering sidekick of his either.  Come back Jo Brand, Lisa Tarbuck or Richard Allinson, please. Suey

Thank you Anton.  We are in the Pas de Calais and have a number of supermarkets around us, (including Carrefour, intermarche, Auchen not too far away), so will try them. Bon weekend. Suey

We have just purchased a gas hob and need to buy a gas canister for it. Could anyone let me know the approximate price of a gas canister/tank for it. Thank you in anticipation. Suey

Try Amazon France, they have some good offers.

Watched the DVD last night avec sous titres, we borrowed it from our french friends in the village. Fantastic - so so funny. Living in a small village in the Pas de Calais we know what it is like trying to understand the ch'tis. Wonderful, welcoming people here. Loved the film and also the additional bonus disc. Suey
