  4. How does one link up the computer with a TV set that would allow you to show downloaded videos on TV screen? Is there something you can buy?
  5. http://www.senioriales.com/ Click onto the link above and you will get details of these retirment sites. There are one or two in your immediate area. We were thinking of buying a house with them, but could not afford the costs. Bon chance!"
  6. Thank you for the information, it is very helpful. My friend tells me that the noise they make would seem very much louder than you could imagine these tiny creatures could make! Could the noise be made by rats lor sqirrels or could it be that the Glis Glis are wearing hob-nailed boots? They are so noisy!. Other than friendly cage traps, would a sonic device make them leave their abode? Anyone who has had success in this department, I would be very interested to hear further!
  7. A friend of mine is worried about the noises emulating from his loft, which occur every night after midnight. I did remamber I saw some correspondence regarding animals called something like Miew Miews. Could anyone enlighten me on these creatures and any ways of getting rid of them?

    A Cat Hotel?

    Does anyone have kowledge of a hotel/motel near the post of Roscoff, where one could stay overnight with two cats?
  10. Many thanks Pickles for a very clear explanation, which has opened the veil of my ignorance! In this case, the man next door with broadband has offered it to be used if required. I assume that this could be only be, when the modem next door is switched on and the recipient also has a modem. Thanks once again. .
  11. If a person rented a gite and the owner next door has broadband. How would one pick up the broadband signal on a desktop PC? Is a dongle needed?

  13. Can any knowledgable person inform me if it is possible to use a English bank service card into cash point machine in France and obtain Euros?
  14. Although this is really a UK related question I will ask it anyway! My brother died last November in the UK. In his will, he left me a legacy of £5000. His daughter informed me of this bequest, but after ten months there has been no more contact with her. Although it might be embarrassing to ask for the money, what are my legal rights in this matter if they refuse to pay?
  15. Our French rescue tabby cat continually licks her back from the tail to her neck. The end result is that her fur has clumped together to form six or more hard ridges on her back, making her her look like a punk rocker. We have treated for fleas with Front Line and have washed her back many times and changed her diet, without any improvement. Can anyone help?
  16. Hi Anton and Cooperlola, Many thanks for your reply. Yes! the keyboards was well and truly knackered. Not only was the shift not working, but nearly every function was not operative. I managed to get a new QWERTY board from a shop in St Jean d'Angely, brand new for 16Euros.
  17. CananyonetellmewhereIcanobtainaqwertykeyboardinthesaintesarea?mine has gone wrong!
  18. Inadvertently, I seem to have deleted all my pictures on my computer. I think there may be some way of retrieving them from my hard drive. Can anyone help me with this?

So now I am looking for an ISP with no minimum term, as my future in France is a little uncertain. Could anyone suggest an appropriate server which might give me a connection without too long a delay? Advice very much appreciated!
  22. I have a Leclerc mobile. When I return permanentelyto the UK, is it possible to put a uk SIM card in it and use over there?
