[/quote] This morning to put the cherry on the cake I am listening to the phone-in on RMC. The airways seem to be populated by irate "en colère" UMPiste ladies baring their ideological souls, all for me quite hilarious. I luv it. It would seem that UMPistes are having difficulty reconciling the majority vote for a man with NO MINISTERIAL experience, NO ****, NO*****, etc , etc. Whilst the "little man" with his bulging portfolio of talents, experience and debating skills on the international stage has been rejected out of hand. Despite the dire warnings as to the foreseeable consequences. Let me put it another way if they had replaced the little man with a "triumvirate" of the two pandas from Beauval and the office cat from Matignon the UMPistes would have won.[:D] Nice result from Dordogne, looks like in the legies there will be a clean sweep in Dordogne & Vienne.!!

An opinion poll dated 6th may gives a clear advantage to the left wing with 45% of the vote. Sarko's UMP gets 30%. And the front national 15%. http://www.20minutes.fr/presidentielle/929677-gauche-gagnerait-legislatives-45-voix-si-elles-lieu-dimanche-prochain

[quote]    Hi Ok           I always wonder why  PPPC always replies to posts he Knows nothing about and in a language  Known only to him and a small tribe some where in the Brazilian out back ......the rules for the fosse state min 3000ltr tank and a 25 m3 sand filter . The formulae is a follows  ..each person uses 145 ltrs of water a day and you must hold the stock for 3 days    so 145 x 3 x 6 people = 2610 ltrs  so    say you have a 7 bedroom house each room only a single bed size  and * bathrooms  you would still only need the 3000 ltr set up ..  Phew Dave [/quote] A two page "fiche technique" from a town near both of you. http://www.agglo-niort.fr/pdf/plaquette_technique_assainissement.pdf

Hey  C on TF1 right to the end NKM was arguing and interrupting; particularly with MLP; now MLP just said she would "vote blanc" with no consigne of her 6 million votes in the 1st round. Just coincidence that there were some TWO MILLION blank votes a mere SEVEN PER CENT of the vote. Perhaps MLP was gunning for Sarko!

[quote user="AnOther"]Blood out of stones ! I seem to recall reading somewhere that interest free loans were available with a charge against the property when sold.

[quote user="DraytonBoy"]I have a client who's 'four years' are up next year and the cost of replacing her fosse is 14k which she doesn't have. What's going to happen to her?[/quote] The maire will smack an "insalubrité notice" on her "pigsty" unfit for human occupation....then eviction....problem solved.

The house is 240m² 4 bed + 3 baths. and we have been told that a 5m x 5m filter should be sufficient. A bit on the border line with regard to "pièces principales"...might mean a 4,000 litres FTE and a larger filter bed.

[quote user="Quillan"] [quote user="NormanH"]http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/sarkozy-or-hollande-france-prepares-to-choose-its-future-7715652.html Has got the two candidates about right. [/quote] Good article, I have been trying to read it all day but so many interruptions. [:'(] The bit that makes me wonder is the comment "The problems begin with the fiscal discipline element. The Socialist candidate has pledged to reduce the French state deficit to zero by 2017". I am wondering how he intends to do this as like Labour in the UK he is yet to come up with an actual plan or pass any real comment? It suggest to me that perhaps French public sector workers are in for just as much pain as they are under Sarkozy.

The first topic on Envoyé Special on thursday dealt with the rise of the FN in le loiret. The report includes the reaction of an "interesting family" after watching the debate on the previous evening. This particular part begins at around 24 minutes on the time line with the final opinion of the young garden equipment mechanic. The rmi-iste family commences with their visit to the restos to pick up provisions; the congolese girl is the sister in law of the the main speaker. The whole report is worth watching though. http://www.pluzz.fr/envoye-special.html

I watched the whole lot. The content was for me competely irrelevant. The behaviour of the participants primordial. The "little man" with his rather pathetic "Gonna throw my toys out of the pram if hollande does not do THREE DEBATES", obviously with his customary self -esteem regards himself as a talented debater. A curious opinion as after 16 years in france I have NEVER witnessed even a modestly average debate; frankly after a regimented dont think BAC +7 education the french brain is so addled that a mere flicker of ingenious originality is an illusion. At the end of the debate I realised that Hollande had won the context, so I was able to put a new mark on my "I hate sarko belt". It would appear that I am not alone. http://fr.reuters.com/article/topNews/idFRPAE84209M20120503 P.S I note that the BBC inform that Sarko thinks the result is too close to call; I wonder if he also thinks he will get 58% of the vote, reflecting the opinion and advice of certain analysts.[:P]
