[Living France quiz]

But where's it gone today? Any ideas??

[Thank you]

Sylvia

Can I second all your sentiments (well, except for crying - big boys don't cry!!)?

Phil (actually in Chalus)

[Transit Van Hire]

Click on "utilitaires" - that's commercial vehicles.

[Transit Van Hire]

I've hired from Rentacar Limoges three times (once to UK, twice to Switzerland); you can specify on there website the probable kilometrage, so you know exactly what you will pay. They have branches in Poitiers and La Roche Posay.

[voting for local mayor]

Thanks, Val! I'll be in the Mairie tomorrow.

While on the subject, can anybody confirm whether I need to re-register for next years elections? I registered last year, and it seems from the form instructions that 5 years of registration are necessary for it to be permanent. But my neighbour, M.le Maire, assures me that once is enough.

Thanks

[Argh!]

They are probably psychopathic killers who have perfected that innocent look to fool the unwary.

[Beam me up scotty]

I scored 9!!

[Comodo Firewall]

There is a bug in the Comodo firewall update t0 version 3.0, or perhaps it just didn't like me. It sent my computer into a continuous loop, and I had to start in Safe Mode and System Restore to get back to normality.

If you're using Comodo, my advice is don't update until the bug is fixed.

Thanks, Helen

[Govt Data Loss]

I have to say that I admire Paul Gray's courage in taking the blame for his department's failure, and wonder what Sir Ian Blair thinks of his action. But... how about a conspiracy theory... the "junior official " was in league with an "illegal immigrant" security guard, and the discs are now somewhere in Eastern Europe?

[Getting my oats]

Does anybody know the relationship between the French and UK methods of measuring cholesterol? My wife's C-level is high according to our medecin traitante, but the blood tests show a level of about 2.6, with a safe level of about 2. (figures from memory)

Bravo Sweet 17, for being one (two) of the people one can rely on!!![;-)]

Let's hope there are plenty of others  who will thus achieve full integration....

I can go one further (as can TonyFDordgne) as we are both candidates for our municipal councils [;-)]

Our Maire has asked if he can put my name on his liste, too.

[Dementia]

Probably just SAD!

[Car repair charge]

I bought a complete kit for the rear brakes on my wife's Super Cinq - €99 from Norauto Limoges - and my local Renault dealer fitted them for €60.

[The Complete France Postbag]

That much??

[Archetype British ex pat.]

Depends...Have you got two extra ears???

[Will YOU pass the test next month?]

Ian

You are not alone! Wales first, and then France.

[Vets in Haute Vienne]

It's a bit of a haul from Bellac, but in Oradour-sur-Vayres there is an excellent English-speaking Vet, Sophie, who works with Philippe Biron. If you care to PM or E-mail me, I'll give you her phone number. Good Luck with your move!

[Maison secondaire in France plus car registration]

I thought most 50-somethingish grandmothers were (or were becoming) a tad bristly.

OK, I'll leave quietly!

[Feather Growing Problems !]

Give them enough, and they'll topple over without the effort of flapping (and you can have Omelette a l'anise or au houblon)!!!

[Polytunnel supplies - near Limoges]

Try Gamm' Vert on the ZI Nord, or near Carrefour at Boisseuil.

[Light cream pointing mix.]

Don't want to nit-pick, but "choux" is actually French for cabbages or a type of pastry - the word you are looking for for lime is "chaux".
