We went to our Mairie last year to ask the same question, and were told that provided it had no "permanent roof", to just get on with it. However if in doubt ask.

[Driving - which documents to carry]

I ask at the local cop shop and was told a photocopy of the carte gris is ok but the insurance docs must be the original. Over the years I have had them checked many times and never a problem....... yet !!!

[PVC to metal waste pipe]

[quote user="tj"]

Hi

The pipe from the sink should be inside, not outside the metal waste pipe. You say the OD of the metal pipe is 42, so the 40 PVC should'nt  be far out, he can try thinning the PVC, belt sander, grinding wheel etc.

My friend says thankyou, a couple of mins with a belt sander and perfect fit.

[PVC to metal waste pipe]

Thankyou   [:D]

[PVC to metal waste pipe]

Thanks guys great advice as usual [:D], I am going to visit him tomorrow so can offer various solutions.

[PVC to metal waste pipe]

Hi,

I've just had a help plea from a friend, who is in the process of fitting a new kitchen in his flat. His problem is fitting the 40mm pvc waste pipe from the sink to the existing system which is a metal 42mm OD pipe.

My only thought is to heat up a 40mm joint (manchon) to get it soft and force it over the metal pipe.

 

Anybody got any other ideas ?

thanks

[DVD Recorder]

thanks, just the info I need.    [:D]

[DVD Recorder]

Hi,

I am looking to finally replace my very old VCR with a DVD recorder (with hard disk). In particular one which can do the 'sync rec' ie using the autoview function on the Sky box to control the record function on the DVD recorder. Does anyone which models can or can't do this ?

thanks

[sky satellite handset]

When our handset died, I bought a new one off ebay. works fine with both our boxes.

[Orange mobile points.]

I don't how the point system works, but I guess it relates to how much is your monthly bill.

If you go to  www.orange.fr and log in to 'espace client mon compte' there is a section for 'changer de mobile' it gives info on what phone you can get using points + cash

Evening Paul - This is near Chateauroux which is about an hour from me. I will be very interested to hear how you get on. It seems good value too.

Have a good time and nothing more than a 6 on your card. I dont like their web site - I was dizzy after looking at it.

Thanks, well the course is ok, I've played alot worse, but there were a couple of greens which were not in the best of health, ie 9th.

 It was a club  team competition ( 5 am + pro)  with the 'Ligue de golf du Centre'.  We came 3rd,  lost 2nd on countback and its means we are promoted for next years cup competition, so a good weekend. [:D]

[Golf des Dryades]

Very true, I hope they have spent some on the course as well !!!

[Golf des Dryades]

Thanks, thats about all I could find plus the site for the hotel. I was hoping someone has first hand experience and maybe email me a scanned copy of the score card.

[Golf des Dryades]

Hi,

Anyone played Golf des Dryades,  36160 Pouligny-Notre-Dame, I am playing there this weekend and can find very little info on the course.

thanks
