  1. Thanks Dick, no I wasn't trying to be malicious or vindictive.  I clearly put two and two together and came up with seven.  I hoped it might shed some light onto the ongoing problem with Cassis log in and signature,but it just shows I was wrong. I'm happy to be wrong and gladly put my hands up. I believe in fairness all round, that includes being fair myself.
  2. On a thread which has now been locked I made an error on some dates.  As I can't post on that thread anymore, I would just like to say I'm sorry I gave out the wrong information. The date I spoke to a mod about signatures was on the 2nd and 3rd of April 2007 and the date Cassis had problems with his signature was after this date on the 17th I believe RH said it was.
  3. On the 2nd April 2007, I reported/complained about another forum members signature.  I had some correspondance with a mod, who told me something would be done about the whole signature problem. Many members including myself had made our feelings clear we didn't want Miki banned, but this other members signature was clearly goading Miki and as he couldn't respond, I felt this unfair. Anyway, my last correspondance with the mod happens to be on 3/4/07, the day Cassis had his signature changed and new password sent.  Coincidance? BTW it wasn't Cassis I complained about.
  4. Come on Moggie what do you make?  Its just as well my OH doesn't post on here as you would be his dream gal.
  5. Sorry Pickles but the check on profile does not work.  Any how who is weeble? I would go back to bed if I were you. [:D]
  6. I'm sure it wasn't Opas, though some form of explanation would at least be polite. Come on mods, please tell us what's going on. 
  7. [quote user="Clarkkent"][quote user="Dotty "][quote user="Clarkkent"] But exactly how much money will be "pumped into their economy"? The proceeds from the house sale will disappear to another location, tax income for the commune is very small and it is likely that little of value is bought within the commune. I don't think that there is much added-value for a commune when retired British come to it. The real added value is provided by the young French people who work in England - and it is the UK that earns it. There have been instances where communes have resisted house sales to British incomers, and I believe the commune may have a right to buy property if it so wishes. [/quote] Where would that be then? [/quote] I believe that some coastal resorts in Normandy have tried to prevent sales of appartments to British buyers. It would be useful to have confirmation. [/quote] So where do you get your beliefs from?  I'm genuinely interested.

  9. As you know Chris I am very nosey.  Tell who they were, or else.
  10. Thanks for the reply.  I already have a carte vital, so will I be asked for this number? You mention if I am on a salarie, what are the alternitives if this isn't the way the company goes?  
  11. Hello I have just made an application to work for a fruit farm this summer.  Can anyone tell me what happens re pay, will I need a NI number to pay contributions, or will they make the contributions for me? It will be the firtst time I've worked in France. Many thanks.
  12. Oh I'm just remembering old times. Got kids and a pile of rubble to throw myself at now.  But yes you are right I am a young chick, just like yourself.[:D]
  13. Very funny Socket. Was about 3 years ago, 'till other half had his bike nicked, but that's another story. Before the kids it was all the time, spending a lot of holidays on the back of a bike.  I've been to the TT once and the Manx GP 3 times, so riding to Liverpool from Surrey was a numb bum inducer, imagine all those miles hanging onto the back of a Genesis with a very loud pipe, oh they were the days................  
  14. I have planted 10 plants today.  4 in pots and 6 in the ground. I've never grown any before, so here's hoping.
  15. [quote user="sid"][quote user="Dotty "] I refused to move over or slow down, if they had got in my path, then tough, they would have been eating dirt. [/quote] Perhaps you were hoping that we'd all be sympathetic? There are idiots out there, but you don't need to become one yourself. I suggest a less aggressive attitude, the roads here are wonderful, let's enjoy them. Sid [/quote] No I didn't nor do I want sympathy, as I said, just sharing my view. Yes there are idiots on the road and I don't intend becoming one of them.  I drive in a sensible manner and have never been stopped in the UK or anywhere else.  My license is clean and allways has been. I wasn't being agressive and if my post came across that way, it wasn't meant to.  Perhaps you are preaching to tthe wrong person, I wasn't driving 2 abreast or shaking my fist/hand and I wasn't telling others how much of the road they could use. Most French bikers are very polite, I allways move over, where I can as I know what its like to want to get a move on.  We have nearly missed our ferries many a time, so had to over take on more than one occasion.  I wouldn't dream of tring to stop a bike from passing, just don't want to be told by 30 or so coming the other way, to move on over. As I said, who do they think they are?
  16. Sid I wasn't really asking for answers, just more of sharing my experience.  I didn't drive at the bikers either, I was just going home minding my own business.  I wasn't speeding nor was I driving dangerously, just had my foot down and was getting on with it.  We have a lot of tractors where I live, so I'm always ready to brake hard to avoid collisions.  However, these bikers really did think they were king of the road and whilst I'm happy to share the roads with all forms of transport, I don't think it fair they should have taken up more than needed and then expect others to give up their bit as well. As I said in my OP I have ridden many times on the back, so am aware of the dangers, but these guys just give biking a bad name.

    Hay feed net

    Hello A friend of mine lives near Parthenay and needs a hay net for some goats.  They have looked in the bricos but have had no luck, any ideas where they might find such a thing. Many thanks
  18. Cat I'm pretty sure it wasn't aimed at me personally, though I fail to see why any group whether it be cyclists, horse riders or bikers feel they can take up the road,then expect car drivers to move over or slow down. Whilst they may have just been issuing a warning, wouldn't it have been safer for all concerned if they had just ridden single file?  The lanes to my house are very twisty and are full of tractors most days, if they had met one of these, they wouldn't have had a chance to get out of the way. Perhaps they should have had a little white van with convoy exceptionalle up front, like all of the other fat vehicles using the roads.
  19. Whilst driving home yesterday afternoon, tearing up the country lane in my car,coming from the other direction around the corner were a couple of motorbikes, no doubt enjoying the sun.  Then a few more and this time they started waving a hand at me, it looked like they were either telling me to slow down or move over.  Then as I passed another bend, about 30 bikes came towards me, most of them waving hands and fists, riding 2 sometime 3 abreast.  To say I was cross is an understatement, how would they have felt if I were driving 2 abreast with another car? I have done my fair share of motor biking, having ridden pillion to many destinations, including the IOM 3 times, but some bikers give bikers in general a bad name. I refused to move over or slow down, if they had got in my path, then tough, they would have been eating dirt.
