Yesterday I received an email from Ameli - received another today for my wife - beginning:L'Assurance Maladie vous informe de la mise à jour des conditions générales d'utilisation (CGU) de votre espace personnel « compte ameli ». Cette mise à jour des C.G.U. s'appliquera dès le mardi 22 septembre 2020. ..................................................................Pour continuer à profiter des services du compte ameli, vous devez accepter ces nouvelles C.G.U.
Vous pouvez le faire dès maintenant (en cliquant sur le bouton ci-dessous) ou lors de votre prochaine connexion à votre compte ameli.
I tried to connect, but after a couple of minutes of blank screen, a message appeared saying the site was unavailable.
Later I got a picture of a bandaged teddy bear with a message to try later.
Today I get this message:
Le compte ameli est actuellement fortement sollicité.Nous vous informons que l'acceptation des nouvelles Conditions Générales d'Utilisation du compte ameli ne présente aucune urgence et pourra se faire dans les semaines à venir.Ces nouvelles CGU n'ont donc aucune incidence sur votre compte ameli.Merci de ne pas essayer de vous reconnecter immédiatement.
Which is the opposite of what they said yesterday.
Didn't anyone think that the first message might cause their site to be inundated?
I need to access the site to get some important information on our CSS, but some incompetent has made that impossible.

[quote user="Mr Huge"]I have a 2016 VW Golf with all bells and whistles including a stop/start battery, Last December the battery conked out on the autoroute and I had to call the service de depannage and have it replaced, which they, did, for a bras and a jambe. Today, idly reading the service manual (there is little else to do here) I learnt that this type of battery must be replaced by one of a similar kind, by a qualified VW technician in their own workshop. Since last Dec I have driven on the replacement battery without trouble. Should I be worried, or is this just VW trying to keep the work in-house?[/quote]Recent VAG vehicles have the battery coded to the onboard computer/electronic control unit (ECU), French: calculateur, which is done by connecting equipment to the vehicles onboard diagnostic (OBD) system.Better to ask your question HERE, in the appropriate model-specific section. There are people on there who can give you an exact answer.If you run through the posts in the Golf Mk 7 section you might find someone has already asked your question.

[quote user="chessie"]quote - 'Am I alone in being very angry with the Chinese government?'No, you're definitely not alone, not at all. I'm trying to avoid any chinese 'stuff' where possible if I need now to buy anything new - but it's difficult.But definitely hate chinese gvt; and dislike chinese people for their love of eating anything with or without legs, and using the sick wet markets. Now they're destroying the marine life round the Galapagos. But that's another topic.Chessie [/quote]Yes, it is, isn't it. A bit late to start actually[:(]The big problem is that the Chinese make a lot of things everyone needs, whereas the UK makes very little and provides services a few people want.

My wife used to collect daft statements on BBC programmes.She started when listening to the World Service, probably in the late 1960's, but gave up long ago, as there was just too much to record.

I'd be happy if they would spend a little money to avoid using people who continually say "I mean" and "You know", use ridiculous phrases such as "blue in terms of colour", and have no adjectives besides "amazing" and "iconic" in their vocabulary.That would be better than something really good [:D]

[quote user="suein56"]nomoss wrote the following post at 14 Sep 2020 20:35:The quote from Groupama was one to approximate the cover I was offered by Sofica's, so probably other plans they have are more generous.I apologise but I don't understand your post.As we live in Brittany we don't have need of expensive 200%/300%/400% cover for anything .. so our Groupama cover is the basic 100% for everything.[/quote]At the end of 2015 we got quotes from a few companies, including Groupama, for similar full cover at 100%.The prices were fairly close, but I noticed Groupama only covered co-payments for prescription items reimbursed by CPAM at over 65%.At the time I didn't know how many prescriptions we would be likely to have in this category, so I chose a quote which covered all co-payments.We are in Aude, Groupama possibly have different tariffs for Brittany.

I did not pay towards their cost.Edit: mint makes a very good point ref choosing a mutuelle this year and changing next year if they don't come up to the mark. Providing your give the correct legal notice you should have no problem.[/quote]The quote from Groupama was one to approximate the cover I was offered by Sofica's, so probably other plans they have are more generous.

Is it possible their Carte Vitale card reader is also not working yet?It might be advisable to print off and take an attestation.

[quote user="Hoddy"] ................ we are all older and perhaps consume less red wine. I still believe in its usefulness though. ......................... [/quote]I totally agree with that sentiment [:D]

[quote user="mint"]Nomoss, our policy specifically says hospi for ambulatoire procedures: so VSL, anaesthetiste, room for the day, etc .............................. [/quote]Is that part of a hospitalisation only policy?From what you said previously I had the impression you had a policy covering all treatment.
-
[quote user="woolybanana"] ............ I chose hospital cover only as my main illness is classed as an ALD. And I wouldnt want a roller![/quote]The main snag with hospital cover only is that so many operations nowadays are carried out on an out-patient basis (chirurgie ambulatoire) where the patient is hospitalised for less than a day, and are not covered by every mutuelle - at least by not by either of the two we have used, which both defined hospitalisation as actually occupying a bed overnight.EDITIt is possibly because of our advanced ages, but I have found almost every procedure either of us has had was reimbursed 100% by our CPAM.This applied only to the actual operations, so we still needed the mutuelle to reimburse the many tests and procedures related to it, which required several prior visits to the hospital.

[quote user="Lehaut"] .............. Several did not due to not liking Facebook on principle and the fact that you use your real (!) name.IMO it is useful, but not the same a this type of forum.[/quote]It's not necessary to use one's real name on Facebook. I did so when I first joined, just to keep in touch with family, but changed it later to a fictitious one.I rarely use it, and agree that it can't really replace the organised system of a forum.

[quote user="Beckett"][quote user="nomoss"][quote user="mint"]Wooly, don't be cruel; I don't know how to put a circumflex on the "a"[:(][/quote]My solution is to use a Spanish keyboard. It is QWERTY, but has all the accents for Spanish and French, plus Ñ and Ç.I bought a couple a few years back, so have a spare[:D][/quote]How does that work, Nomoss? Do you have to use a combination of keystrokes? I can remember some of the Alt-codes but not all of them. It would be great if someone would develop a keyboard like the soft keyboards you get on smartphones and tablets.[/quote]It's weird how the quote works for your post when it is garbled on my view of it.Anyway, a Spanish keyboard has the same layout of letters as a UK one, although most of the other functions are distributed differently, but there are none missing that I usually need, except a £ sign, for which I have to use Alt+156. It looks like THISI have always installed Windows with keyboard options of : English (United States), US keyboard; English (United Kingdom), UK keyboard; and English (United Kingdom), Spanish keyboard.I can toggle between the 3 choices by using the Windows key together with the space bar, and the current selection is shown at the bottom right of the screen (Systray?). I occasionally change the keyboard setting accidentally, but notice this as soon as I get an incorrect symbol, and it's easy to reset again.The choices can be found in Settings by searching for keyboard language, but I've never done this, as I made the choices each time I made a new Windows install.We lived in Spain for before moving to France, so brought with us the keyboards were used to.

[quote user="Beckett"]I think the quote function is broken - at least, it doesn't work when I use it.[/quote]It varies for me, even with successive posts.This time it's working, according to the Preview.

ET said "Nomoss, I hate to tell you this but I don't think using a Spanish keyboard changes your accent on the telephone!Wrong thread, perhaps?"BTW, occasionally, when I use "quote" the software says the post has non matching quotation blocks and won't accept the post.[8-)]Thank you ET. I don't know how that happened. Something to do with writing replies in word and pasting into the forum.I have moved the post to the "Archant bust?" topic.

You asked:1) whether her legal fees and costs (7500 Euros so far) if she loses are items that are normally covered by the civil liability section of her house insurance.These would possibly have been covered by that section if she had approached her insurance company for advice and assistance when she first knew about the problem, and they had agreed to handle the matter on her behalf..She should contact her insurers ASAP to ask if they will get involved at this rather late stage, but I think that even if they agree, it is unlikely they will accept any responsibility for expenses she has already incurred.

Large, 2cm thick, steel plates, with their lower edges angled at about 20º and sharpened to a knife edge, to cover the inside of each window, running up and down in vertical tracks.On leaving the house all plates are raised, but if a window is disturbed there is a mechanism to drop its steel plate. It might be advisable to place a basket with an impermeable liner inside the window.This should with luck provide at least one hand, so that the burglar can be identified by checking the fingerprints.

[quote user="ericd"]Easy nomoss ...... I was on my barn roof earlier this month, mid-afternoon and high 30's temperatures. I needed to reposition/place a few tile as I could see daylight through ..... climbed on the said roof with safety shoes and not much above my waist ..... reached the apex of the roof when a dozen wasps started to attack me. I swear, they hadn't been provoked, I hadn't even yet started to put the tiles in place so couldn't have disturbed any nest ... yet. I couldn't run away as I risked breaking every single tile around me with my heavy boots, I couldn't wave a t-shirt at them as I wasn't wearing one ..... I just had to take the stings as they came until they had had enough ..... 4 on the left hand, 3 on my right elbow, 4 on my left elbow and a couple in the head ..... Ouchhh ...The left hand nearly doubled in size over the course of the next 3 days.Did I want to save the species on that roof ..... Not one second. I would have been happy to wipe off the whole colony in one swift move.I went back to normal on day 5. Tiles now safely put back together.[/quote]I've been stung by wasps too on a few occasions, the last time by one which came in through the car window when I was driving quite fast, and a couple of years ago my wife was stung in the mouth by two or three which had got inside a can of Coke she had put down for couple of minutes.She she still helps wasps out which have fallen into the bird bath where hundreds of them drink during every day in this hot weather.We certainly don't want to wipe them off the planet, and I'm sure you don't either.

[quote user="alittlebitfrench"]Are we talking about Frelons or wasps ?Wasps are a pain in arsê. Git rid. Frelons....not so much.[/quote]Killing everything you're afraid of or just don't like the look of is illogical and unintelligent.Hornets, wasps and bees don't attack anyone who isn't an imminent threat.Hornets are even protected in some European countries. They and the others need all the protection they can get.

[quote user="idun"]Re cars, well legally we have 6 months to reregister in France. ................................[/quote]But why wait, when insurance is cheaper in France and covers the car in most other countries?I've never understood people who put off doing things until the last moment, then later complain when they have problems.
