We have decided to apply for a titre de sejour and have an appointment at Beziers next Wednesday. However I'm a bit stuffed at one of the "Documents communs" which reads: "Indication relative au domicile" and then goes on to say that this can be anything of the applicants choice. I have included House purchase documents, Avis d'Impot, Carte gris etc. but am really struggling here to fill it out a bit!!! Would appreciate any suggestions, especially from those who have experienced this.

We have an abundance of chilli and bell peppers this year and quite a lot of ants in the garden. Whilst de-seeding the peppers a lot of seeds fell onto the ground whereupon there was an immediate invasion of very small ants collecting up the seeds,which were much bigger than they and carted them off to their nest. Why are they so attracted to these seeds and what do they do with them, I am fascinated by the sheer effort made to carry the seeds some distance?

On checking the rating for said kettle I found that it is 12/24v x 170watts. On checking the small print in the car handbook I found that the maximum recommended for the 12v sockets was 120watts. Start looking around for a lower rated kettle or.......just buy a decent vacuum flask!!

Orange Airbox?

Or even watch your iPad Air!! -
Thanks for the replies, definitely learnt a lesson there!!

On the way back down from UK yesterday I stopped and bought an extension for the cigar lighter socket to enable us to use the car kettle in a more convenient place. After about 3 minutes I could smell burning and saw smoke coming from the new extension!!!! Quickly pulled it out and disposed of it but am wondering what the cause was. The packaging said it was for 12v or 24v and I am wondering if there was a switch or something for just 12v. We normally use the kettle quite safely and indeed after this incident it was plugged into another socket with no problem. Any ideas?

Well done Norman, thank you very much, I can see it now!!!!

Just received a card from French neighbour to give to my daughter in UK who has just given birth to a strapping baby boy. The card reads : 'Un petit garcon a pointe le bout de son nez' Could any kind soul please translate for us before we give the card!!

Channel 4 missing?
CeeJay replied to CeeJay's topic in French Satellite TV, French Internet and Telephone
Danny Thanks for the reply. I have checked again and I cannot receive any of the "4" channels that you have mentioned. I have also checked with FreeSat as well as with the Sky box and it is the same.......nothing!! I have to admit the LNB is about 6 years old and we have had temperatures in the 35/40 C for the last 3 weeks continuously so I don't suppose a change will do any harm! -
Channel 4 missing?
CeeJay replied to CeeJay's topic in French Satellite TV, French Internet and Telephone
Something is obviously wrong!!!! Channel 4 and +1 we have not been able to receive for the past 2/3 weeks, all other channels are fine, strangely, including Channel 4 HD. Could a very slight alignement problem cause only one channel to go missing? -
Yes, thank you Gardian, Ganges is where I want to be so that is the best option and I know the route quite well.

Gardian 0940 from Gatwick

NormanH The St.Jean route may be the easier and the quickest, although I will have a look at the other route you mentioned, thank you.

Have to pick up daughter and son-in-law from Montpellier airport on July 14th.!!!!!!!!!!! Not only Bastille Day but Le Tour starts from Montpellier to Mont Ventoux. Trying to find details of road closures but with little success, have to get from the airport through Montpellier to Quissac, Sauve, area, any thoughts would be appreciated although I think perhaps it best to go down to St.Jean de Vedas and then up?
-
Sod's Law, French A.T.C's on strike so daughter and son-in-Law's flight cancelled!!! Hopefully re-arranged for July, so will report back later.

My neighbour at the allotments here in Herault grows it. Huge things looking like thistles and eventually producing cardobelles on top which are then dried and fixed to front doors of houses, presumably for good luck!
-
Thanks Hoddy, I was getting worried that I might have to check-in at the airport at plus cost!!
-
Jonzjob Thanks for the link however, as with all Forums, there is a split between Yes and No!!!!!! I will get son-in-law to bring it over anyway and see what happens.

Just printed off boarding pass for Beziers to Bristol for next weeks referendum and noticed that the bar code thingy only took up less than a quarter of an A4 sheet. Last time I flew the bar code took up all the paper, have I done something wrong or has it been changed?

Excuse my ignorance, but if when my son-in-law visits next week and he brings his sky card with him can I put it in my box and get the Sky sports option which he has?

No panic, back on now!!!!!! -
For some reason we cannot receive Channel 4 for the last 24 hours, no signal received showing. Any reason why this should be ?

Important - postal vote needs a stamp!
CeeJay replied to Fittersmate's topic in The Complete France Post Bag
Quite likely Paul, I posted a cheque to the Smile.co.uk Freepost address from France and put a French stamp on just to be sure. That was 3 months ago, not heard of since!!!! -
All my Ikea appliances, oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge and induction hob are all made by Whirlpool, That was about 4 years ago though!!!!!
