Can anybody tell me why Estreboeuf, a small village in the Somme area, is named that? Other that the fact that, like Milton Keynes, it has some concrete cows in a field beside the road.  David

gardengirl, That's the nicest thing anybody has said to me here. I think I'm going to cry. David

Chancer, I thought that's what forums are for. Yes, but my wife doesn't know. David 

Betty, You're Mrs Bucket, and I claim the £5 prize, David

Loiseau, Are you hacking my computer? Idle chit chat if the name of another forum I use. David

Rabbie, But does she ever reply to anything or just disappear? David

Chancer, We ate at a couple of places at St Valery-sur-Somme that, I'm sure, cost less than that. Of course we get a carafe of the house red or white wine. David 

We stopped watching Come Dine With Me some time ago when Dave Lamb became a parody of himself and diners had to include one gay, one black, one veggie, etc.

Chancer, Maybe they were673 adverts. David

Can anybody explain to me why somebody starts a topic and then disappears from the face of the earth?

Pierre, We were in Hesdin to visit the HQ of The Wine Society before it moved to Montreuil. David

Suey, You're making me jealous. We do day trips to Calais via the tunnel and are members of The Wine Society which has it French hq in Montreuil. We also stayed at a campsite at Drancourt near St Valery-sur-Somme. I imagine the area will be quite crowded this summer. We enjoy going to small PMU bar/cafes for lunch. My grandfather is buried in an American WWI cemetery near Verdun and we have visited it. David

Carolski, We usually look through the regional newspapers: Ouest-France in Brittany, Normandy, and Pays de la Loire, Sud Ouest in Aquitaine, etc for brocantes and also vide greniers (attic clearance). A lot of these move around, so dates aren't always the same.   David 

Betty, New printers that use HP Sauce instead of ink?! David  

Pierre, I have a mug that says EVERYTHING TASTES BETTER WITH A CAT HAIR IN IT on it. David

Betty, I don't like a lot of the music people choose on DID, but I guess it is just a matter of taste. David

Judith. I preferred Keith Floyd. David

Betty, Kenny Rogers-The Gambler, Chopin-Etude in G flat major, Bill Haley and His Comets-Rock Around the Clock, John McFadyen-Lament for Donald Ban Maccimmon, Dooly Wilson-As Time Goes By, Boney M-Rasputin, Verdi-Liambo ne lieti calci from La traviata, Aled Jones-Dear Lord and Father of Mankind. (forgive misspellings) Also available on i-player. David

Judith, We still have the 'Two' Hairy Bikers. David

Betty, I used a foum like that where posteres used language that would have got them banned here. David

nectarine, I couldn't use the forum yesterday. David

tinabee, I know that when I am deleting a load of old emails and history I will have to login to the forum again, so have printed the long password they gave me. David

Chrissie, I never login or out. I get here by clicking on one of the forum topics I've recently used from a drop-down list at the top of my computer page and leave by clicking on the x at the to right. David

Betty, Good reason. We get spam email from people using the names of friends from facebook. David

Betty, Out of interest, and my French is minimal, but as I thought you were living in the flooded Thames area, why are you receiving French e-mails? David
