cajal

When you do eventually rock up in the UK here is a forum where you can b.itch out all day as to why anybody French, in full possesion of all their faculties, would want to live in Kensington.

[quote user="NormanH"][quote user="richard51"]And Normans comment is the sort of bullying that is learned in grammar schools and carried into later life.[/quote] Norman's  comment was a reply by someone who has spent a long time correcting such mistakes, defending Grammar schools against  a snide comment; not a unwarranted  bullying attack on someone weaker.[/quote] Nice one NormanH! Love it. Stick the boot in my son. Well I would say that wouldn't I being the 'sinister' ' yob' that I've been labelled of late.

It could also be worth checking out 'march'

 A laudable achievement if he succeeds in pulling it off. However, he will need to scale  a mountain of bureaucracy, civil law, be all over the unions and realign the French psyche in his bid to attain the result. From the article: Perhaps the most significant point of differentiation between France and the UK or Silicon Valley, for now at least, remains one of mindset. “When you drive down Sand Hill Road [the main artery of Silicon Valley], numbers stand out so you can easily find your destination,” says a London-based venture capitalist who previously worked as a banker in Paris. But in Sophia Antipolis, the south of France’s intended answer to Silicon Valley, the size of the numbers on buildings is governed by detailed rules, “so you still have to get out of your car to check you are at the right address”. Unfortunately presidents of France have a history of launching extremely expensive state funded disasters. Lets just hope this one has more success.

[quote user="richard51"] aren't you glad that the corrupt right-wing fellow Fillon didn't get in.[/quote] He justifiably earned the comeuppance he received. Politician? Don't take the pyss then. Maybe he was wrong footed by le Gallois influence in his marriage? 

[quote user="richard51"]I think it was your reference to socialist views which you did not quote again.[/quote] Why wouldn't I reference them? The topic does after all refer to, and I quote, "Mr. Hollande's book keeping". Now humour me here Dicky, remind me again, what particular political persuasion was this Mr. Hollande character? [quote user="richard51"] I'm a little surprised that a person of your intellect failed to appreciate that.[/quote] Get away with you. You old charmer. But seriously though, you must be mistaking me for another cajal you must know, for if I were to hold but a mere grain of intellect, do you seriously believe I would frequent a place like this?

[quote user="richard51"]Cajal wrote: I await..............of our tax €'s. I think it was yourself in the second post that set this thread on the subsequent course.[/quote] Er hello. When did the UK convert from GBP to Euros. All I can assume is I must have taken that day off.

Are you people all nuts or something? What  has Jeremy Corbyn, Philip Green, uk public authority pay rises and all the rest of the krap that is discussed got to do with the FRENCH administrations mis-management of the economy for the past five years?

From the link. 'Ce risque de dérapage résulte "quasi exclusivement d'une sous-estimation des dépenses de l'État, sur lesquelles les pouvoirs publics disposent pourtant des capacités d'action les plus directes", déplorent les magistrats de la Cour des comptes'. I await, with baited breath, the responses of our comrades in castigaiting this in character socialist attitude towards public finance mis-management of our tax €'s.

[quote user="richard51"]Is this the alternative fact thread for the right wing yobs wanting to "stuff one up". [/quote] Oih!  If I find you or anyone refering to me as right wing again I will press the 'Report' button, something I have never ever done before, on the grounds of derogatory, inflammatory and insulting language against a fellow poster.

[quote user="lindal1000"]So there is a magic moneytree after all. Another lie from TM.[/quote] £1Bn. And over 2 years. So that's just 0.5% of the last Labour government's annual DEFICIT. And just 1% of what Corbyn was promising to spend. Barely a magic moneytwiglet.

Because it is secured outside of the Barnett Formula the DUP have trousered an extra £1Bn which the SNP and whoever runs Wales will not be eligible for. That will teach the SNP to hold behind closed door talks with the DUP after the 2015 general election. Oh, and for the record this is the self same DUP that Labour held behind closed doors talks with following the 2010 and 2015 general election and guess which side told whom to f*ck off? All the lefties need to catch yourself on (NI speak) 

Glastonbury?  Ha, always has been a rabid hot bed for champagne socialism and week-end hippies. At least the BBC has its uses and the link was pulled because of copyright issues.

  La moyenne des températures à l'échelle nationale a atteint "26,4°C" Ha! Are they having a larf? Mid afternoon, yesterday, at the animal refuge where I help out. The image of a thermometer is apparently not showing. It was registering 49°C (albeit in the direct sun)

[quote user="mint"]Cajal, you and me, we've always been friends, haven't we?[:D][:P] [/quote] Mintilú I thought we'd moved up a level from being 'just friends' and you were now my Babalú. Well that's what I thought from all the emails you send me. But whatever our relationship becomes, don't become needy with me 'cause you know what will happen!

[quote user="Chancer"] I have no reason to think that the person posted the image for anything other than genuine reasons, perhaps without thinking it through hence my initial response, its what came after that which still confuses me. De tout façon, je ne suis pas rancunier [:)][/quote] Chancer, What I posted, I can assure you, was in no way intended to be any sort of a veiled menacing threat or the like. If anything I saw it as a bit of free publicity on your behalf with you being in the hostelry business. However, I note your point on your decision not to advertise on forums and can fully understand you not wishing certain clients turning up on your doorstep. You know who you are. Wasn't it only last week that there were posts here regarding the use of pseudonyms? By all means use a pseudonym on a public forum, but for those who missed the point, it then becomes irrelevant if you then proceed to divulge all manner of personal information on these public forums. You see, we villains no longer find it necessary to have to leave the comfort of our homes to uncover your bank account details and information or the skeletons in your cupboards.

There you go. It appears a mod has done the business. Whilst making no apologies for posting the image it serves as a lesson as to how easy and how little effort is required to unearth what we hope and think is private and unavailable information on us all. All it took for me to avail myself to this information was 3 individual 'google' searches, refining the search each time, and bingo there it was. I now know your first name and with a further bit of digging I could quite easily acquire your surname. Armed with your name and address I could very easily obtain your birthdate and ultimately progress to emptying your bank account. Be aware and always wait a minute or two before pressing that post button and ask yourself "do I really want this information out there?"

[quote user="Chancer"]I would prefer that you or the mods remove that, I dont advertise on forums and whilst I am sure it wasn't your intention it is as good as putting up someones name, address and phone number. As my post has had a reply (yours) I am unable to delete mine. You could try deleting yours and then I might be able to delete mine.   Photo taken a few years back when ony the upper floor was finished but the commune had redone the road and footpaths, once i find out how to blank out the name I would put up some before and after shots. You should be proud of it. Where did you find the photo by the way? I think it is one of mine. t'internet search following what you've posted here over the years. [/quote]

In these sort of situations, forums etc and non financial sites, I never use my real name anyway but that of a kid I sat next to in elementary school. The reason I do this is for total anonymity for if my real name was uncovered, and we all know how people react to a known name,I am concerned as to what steps I would have to take for me to deal with all the begging letters. Having discussed this scenario with my wife I have decided to keep sending them.

[quote user="NormanH"]Norman, I trust that your "leboncon" is a typo or some sort of Freudian slim? I did put (sic) after it.... http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=sic [/quote] NormanH, I would suggest you very carefully read again what Mint wrote. Clue: Mint is possibly just a slip of a woman.

Que sera t il aujourd'hui, chérie, la plage ou le bureau de vote? Répondez ici  

[quote user="woolybanana"](with one or two exceptions eg Ricky Rocket).[/quote] Not old Ricky Rocket. The same one who went to the moon in a rocket The rocket went bang His balls went clang And he found his dick in his pocket. Do you mean that one?

Some days I am just unable to help myself, so here goes. "Never mind the Mods, what about the Rockers"? There, said it. Now I feel better. For all the smartas*es out there, yeah I know, 'most days' yadah, yadah.

[quote user="andyh4"]It seems the Conservatives remain intent on nailing home the divisions in UK society.[/quote] ......and therein lies the rub. If England had been able to cut adrift the remainder of the UK union by granting their requests for independence, and this had been achieved, this would have been the result of yesterday's election. Cons------- 297 Lab---------226 Lib Dem------8 Green---------1 Conservative majority of 62 seats.

[quote user="mint"] Since Manchester and London, we are all victims and even that sub species of humans called politicians are not going to wilfully endanger our safety. [/quote] Hmm. Do I feel a victim? No. Do I feel a target? Yes.  However I feel mine and my nearest and dearests' safety has been threatened enough, but not by the events of London and Manchester, but by the events of Paris, Nice and Normandy as I am a French resident. As you will be fully expecting May/Corbyn and the politicians to protect yours and the British publics safety I also will be expecting Macron and his soon to be politicians to get a grip of the dire security situation and make the streets of France safe again. Remember, the murderers only have to roll a double six once.
