Grass snakes are green with well-spaced, vertical black lines on the sides of the body along its the entire length.  The most striking feature is a yellow stripe across the top of the body, immediately behind the head, which is made even more noticeable by the broad black border immediately behind it.  Unlike the adder, the grass snake has a round black pupil that stands out against the bronze or copper-coloured iris. Slow-worms have red-brown eyes, with round black pupils. About half the entire length of a slow-worm is its tail and, like other lizards, they can shed their tail if they feel threatened.  It takes some time for a new one to grow and, given the circumstances in which they do shed their tails, it is probably quite stressful for them.  Please do not, therefore, try to pick one up.

Not when theres 50 of you in there it aint..[+o(] Qatar offshore labour is now done by Indians and Pakistiani's who work in terrible condtions for around $100 (us) per month..

Does any know of any good double glazing companys (in and around Haute vienne- 87). what is the average price for windows door's (I know this will vary due to size and style just after a rough guesstment..)

At the moment we have a very old oil boiler for our cental heating, which we are considering replacing as it has used almost 500 Ltrs of oil in the last few weeks alone. We are in the process of insulating our property, and would like to find a cost efficient method for central heating. is it worth while staying on oil and having a new boiler with thermostat fitted or as we have a large gas storage tank in our graden (which is only used for the cooker) would it be better to switch to gas.

We are planning our wedding for next year and have been told that civils services on your own Land are not conducted, We have been told that the only place we may get married is in The Maires office, We would obvisouly like this to be a memroable day so we are wondeing if there is any other options open to us for wedding cermonarys in France (we are in 87 near St Mathieau) (we are both Brits and C of E). any input would be most greatful.
