Dennys coffee - the only coffee I can drink! Excellent establishments.

I've a TomTom 710 which gives audible warning when exceeding the limit. It also red-lines on the display. Problem is, the limits on stretches of road vary from time to time and the TT can't always keep up. The displayed limit isn't always current...

A fortnight ago, Mr Bricolage in Melle had it for €16.95/20 litres.

You could think about a white lasure. Two coats will still show the grain of the wood, and further coats will progressively whiten and deepen the finish. And it's microporous. Brushes/rollers rinse in water.

Do you mean import into France from other EU countries, or import into the UK for taking back to France?

[quote user="JohnRoss"]Ok so if I reformat the HD would loading a free OS do the trick and which would you suggest folks?...............JR PS and yes this happens for me too AnOther [/quote] I've been happy with SimplyMEPIS for about four years now. It does what it says, and the support forums are excellent. Whichever flavour of Linux you get eventually, try a few from a LiveCD, and read what you can. But you won't go back to Windoze.

All here.

If you do a Google search on bad recipient address syntax, you'll get a number of forums discussing this very issue. E.g. it may or may not be necessary to have the email address in brackets e.g. <[email protected]> Sent to too many recipients at once, malformed address book, commas/full stops/erroneous white space etc. ISP error. Have you contacted your ISP to see if there's a server error at their end? Looking through some of the forums there's quite a list of things it could be... Hope you get a speedy resolution - damned annoying when one can't.

[quote user="Âme"]Bless you, teapot. [:)] I use wood ash between paving stones and on the paths of the veg plot to stop weeds growing. [/quote] How does that work? I'd be keenly interested to know.

Several friends swear by it for cleaning the glass of the insert. I'm trying it next time it needs doing.

[quote user="topcat"]I have recently bought a house in the Haute Vienne and need advise on how to fell a rather large conifer at the back of the house. Its approx 45ft tall and rather close to the back of the house. Does anyone know of a tree feller in this region.[/quote] Just be careful about the prices people want to charge. A Brit guy I know wanted €200+ to fell a 50' conifer. The local woodman took it down in minutes with a chainsaw and tractor, cut it into logs for stacking, and was gone in the hour. How much? €40. And I keep the wood. It's worth asking around.

[quote user="Jazzer"]Many thanks for evryone's help. Thesolution offered by Thunderbox has worked and my neighbour and I are both very happy![/quote] Glad to help, but we used to call the khazi the thunderbox! [:D]

There is an issue with Chrome and .pdf files, particularly to the point of freezing systems. Try this: A very satisfactory workaround is to open Adobe Reader, click Edit/Preferences, and in the Internet section, uncheck the option to display files in your browser. See if that helps.

IIRC it's an acronym - for what it's worth.

[quote user="Ab"]... yesterday citroen garage put innew master at cost of 400+euro!!!!!!!!![/quote] Why are you surprised at the cost? You did ask for an estimate/devi first? I must say that our little local Citroen garage bends over backwards to help, and charges far less than I ever imagined.

Through http://www.iportal.me it should be possible to register and watch the progs. But what is the file that needs to be downloaded? I thought it may simply be a cookie, but then it mentions the freedom to uninstall. Pity they couldn't advise the type of file before registration. I run Linux, so not interested in Windows executables.

What happened that a damaged piston requires a replacement engine followed by a decision to scrap? You trust the garage's diagnosis, of course?

Where have you tried selling them? Ebay and Leboncoin?

When you say lots of building work, is there an architect involved? If so, quite often they'll act as project manager and pull all the artisans together.

[quote user="muscoka"]I need to buy a petrol chainsaw for normal use -[/quote] Aren't chainsaws normally two-stroke for the power? Never seen one purely petrol. And I swear by my little Husqvarna.

Do you mean paint as in gloss type paint, and emulsion as in water soluble? Are you talking colours or translucent wood hues? Unless you're thinking of conventional paint type paint, then I think you mean lasure. Water soluble and microporous in various wood shades. Good stuff.

The top of our T is female. That way, creosote and the like runs inside the joint, and there's no risk of runny deposits on the outside. No, it doesn't leak smoke, either (which appears to be the prime consideration when orientating the pipes). This seems to be a perennial argument about the orientation of flue pipes. Creosote and other runny stuff will readily find a way out, whereas smoke won't.

"Spitbank Fort reportedly cost nearly £120,000 to construct between 1861 and 1878 and was one of Palmerston's 'Follies', a series of land and sea-based forts designed to repel French warships," said auctioneer Rob Marchant. No mention of Napoleonic wars. Has someone been editing? LOL.
