Braco

Thank you for the links

Also big in the Orthodox Church.

Thank you for the reply, but not much to my taste either.

Hi Are there any festivals worth visiting in the Herault area.

Good on any company or individual that pays the least tax that is legally allowed.   The economy is being suffocated by government interference (taxation). I have no doubt that the company and its shareholders will put the money to more productive uses than any government department ever will.   The net result is the creation of non jobs that are sold as vital to the economy, and illogical subsidies.   

While I detest all religions and associated practices I do take issue with delusional inferior civilisations comments. I am astounded to learn that I have been classified by fellow forum members as belonging to a wider delusional group, apparently on the basis that I disbelieve that bovines are not inconvenienced by being strung up by their legs and having their throats ritually cut. Hi pachapapa No statement as to your character was made or inferred – I stated the comment of believing that any given civilisation is superior to any other is delusional.  

[quote user="Quillan"]Thats just the UK Braco, much of the same can be applied to most of the 'superior' western culture.[/quote]   Totally agree. Though not wishing to write an essay I just listed a few points.   I strongly believe that every country, city, town and village has the same spread of positive and negative attributes amongst it people.  

[quote user="pachapapa"]Completely agree with Fillon; superior civilisations have moved forward to humane methods of slaughter; it is quite obvious that the barbaric methods associated with the words kosher & halal should be banned. A morally disgusting accoutrement of inferior civilisations.[/quote] While I detest all religions and associated practices I do take issue with delusional inferior civilisations comments.   Lets list just a few things that prove our superiority.   The Daly Star and Jordan’s latest exploits.   Moronic soap operas that have lasted decades and will probably last for centuries.   Drug dependency level.   Sink estates full of welfare dependents.   And finally a political class that can whip up the ignorant with just a wave of a flag.  

I love using Ryan air especially now that you can book the emergency exit seats.   As we have a car in France we have a choice of driving if prices are high.   I personally feel that the 10 kg hand luggage limit is far too high and often abused. I have seen passengers emptying their bag and dressing up as Michelin man to avoid paying, as well as frail passengers trying to lift and remove hand luggage over the heads of others.   Far better comfort and safety wise to reduce to a single item, three or four kg maximum.

Great site

To paraphrase the song ‘where ever I light my barbeque (that’s my home)

Thank you all for your answers.

Help please. Is there any penalty for not using the return leg of a booking. We just want the option of extending a stay by purchasing an additional return ticket.

Love Bouzigues We pick up oysters and mussels from the seller as you leave the town. Fresh from the aerated tanks. Simply the best mussels we have ever tasted, and only 2.5 euro’s a kilo.

Response to Braco. Eh? I think you have been to different 3rd world countries from me, the ones I've been to have pot holes on main roads that are far far far worse than any I've seen in UK and France on minor roads. Fine if that is all you aspire to - now maybe a good time to let the natural born scum bag a turn at running the county

Because the UK chucks money down the drain on stooopid IT projects, QUANGOS and millions of people who take money from the public purse for doing *** all And not because it insists on building aircraft carriers........ while I have to buy my BBQ from China, my TV from Japan, my cars from Germany......................

[quote user="woolybanana"]Actually, the Libyans begged for our help. Honour demands we respond if we can, unless you would prefer to allow the Hitler of Tripoli to slaughter his people.[/quote] Exactly right – we sell the arms to ‘The Hitler of Tripoli’ and then we find a puppet(s) to claim as our good deed, In the mean time the UK has pot holed roads that would cause a scandal in third world countries.

What is happening in the UK is simply a high number of scum bags doing what comes naturally. There are really only two real issues/questions. When the government will stop subsidising the production of these little darlings. When will the public elect representatives who are mature enough to put running the country above playing out their imperialistic fantasies?

Last Christmas I saw a Bresse chicken at Giant supermarket in Beziers priced at 144 euros - I almost became a vegetarian on the spot.

We waited for nearly an hour to see the riders in Pezenas. It took less than a minute for them all to pass. Lots of cars and vans selling tat.

People are people are people, surely as much effort should be put into getting all the innocent Libyans out as well???? Their lives are just as important as the Bristish Oil workers, some probably more so. Watching Question Time last night the answer from Lab/Con seems to be no - the most important are the 55k employed in the UK arms industry.  

Hi Judith   If you are lucky you may find a place on Allee Paul Riquet (side of road opposite the shops) if not try: Vinci Park Services - Place Jean Jaurès, 34500 Béziers, France +33 4 67 28 53 71 ‎    

A night at the opera in Verona is a great experience. We book the cheapest tickets and aim to sit on the highest step.
