I´m a bit late, having soaked it in chlorhexadine for several hours, try not to worry and forget where they have been, I would not have put a denture through my autoclave , unless the patient signed a disclaimer if it did not survive.

Thats is three years old, it is still in date information?!

The local marie?? I thought we at least had to brave the nearest Prefecture, at least that is what the Gendarme said!

Sorry, yet another new thread! We got stopped last week , a routine stop at the side of the road, all clear apart from the Gendarme informed my OH he needed to exchange his Spanish driving licence for a French one. (He actually has one point on it, thanks to me, from last year). Yes we paid the fine, assumed we did not need to replace the licence for the point as Spain has the same system of losing points. The licence runs out of date in a year anyway so replacement is needed , what exactly are the documents needed to take for the Prefecture to peruse. I assume they take the old licence off you there and then, what do you produce if stopped by the Gendarmes while waiting the arrival of your French licence?

I have the receipe to pickle walnuts.. where can I buy green walnuts? Surely any growers want to leave them on the tree to mature?

Spent some time today wandering around, Castorama then Big-Mat , have also done local bricos. Exactly where can I get 28mm pipe and fittings, needed to connect manifolds to heat pump. Castorama had 28mm copper pipe but no fittings.

Spent yesterday in Leroy Merlin, excellent, three walk in showers purchased, they were on special offer, a loo, looked at bidet, also got very nice sink unit at a sale price. Well worth the trip even with the delivery charge, better quality too than Castorama.

Hi, where would you buy your bathroom suite from? Castorama have a good range, only one bidet, which will not match the loo.

Ok, I am in France, and have a French mobile telephone, I should speak French. Yes, I am learning, but I would like to hear my messages before I am old and grey, answerphone is far too quick!! Can anyone tell me how to retrieve my messages, step by step, press ??? to listen ,press?? to delete, press??? to next message.

I have a daughter at University studying Vetinary surgery. She needs have a chat with a breeder of..anything! horses,pigs,cows,sheep,dogs, goats, any animal with four legs! She is studying in Spain,she speaks Spanish and English, with a little French, she is here on holiday for a couple of weeks over Easter, in area 47.Can anyone help us out?

Having got my dish finally pointing in the right direction we receive a good range of channels, were we happy? no! greedy , we wanted Channel Five, for CSI and SVU and House. Followed your instructions to add channel manually ( convinced I was going to mess the whole lot up!) but! Yippee! the rest of the now the night is now devoted to CSI, NCIS,SVU, thankyou!!

Now boys and girls let us not fall out over this! You were all helpful, even the fact that you were all saying slightly different things!! We played with the signal strength and quality with the Sky box.

Update!!! Yippee!! Got it! Though got completly stressed out over it! It was not the angle the dishfinder said. Working with a compass and angles given.. nothing. Swung it around in fit of pique and about to stomp off into the warm(we were outside with box and tv on a workmate) and up came the perfect picture!! NewSat box , is favorite with hubby as better picture, but I like the sky box as I know it well, tv guide, and I can get more channels. Local brico(yes I know wrong thread !! ) had to order glass, 155 euros and delivery in January, as glass supplier on hol over Christmas. So we have also sat with superstrong araldite and wire, now I´m off for a cosy night in front of the fire and Spooks!! But not before a big thankyou for all your help!!

Thankyou Anton, Clair and Tim, will be out tomorrow with all your info and extension cable,tv etc! I have sat and played with remote, find we can get CNN and Sky so at least we know something is working, so it must just be the direction is just out. In frustration I have just managed to close the door on the fireplace a bit too hard and smashed it, anyone know where to get a new one? local brico??

Ok, now we are freezing cold having checked everything, and trimmed a tree to make sure it was not blocking any signal. As I said no signal on new FTA box or the sky box... any suggestions? 28.2º east

Dish in place ,set at 28.2º check. Turn on FTA box, set to Astra 2, 28.2º. Pas signal...... Attached Sky Didibox to cable, no signal.. is this where we have to move the dish about? giving the box time to adjust???

Thankyou for your help, will keep you posted, planning on preparing base this afternoon .

I suerly cannot be the only person here with one??? Am going to have to set it up. plug it in and see what happens , which is worse it blows up or nothing?!

Exactly Tel ! name is NewSat with five stars underneath this name, number on receiver irself RN5002, however on the French Instruction Manual it also has Receptuer Satellite Numerique Free To Air 952012.

Ahhh yesss... but having spent a good hour on computer, I (ok I admit I am not brill at the computer) I could not find such a web-site..... Have you found it dear helpful Sunday Driver??

We have just purchased a NewSat dish and receiver, RN5002, no English instructions , anyone got a copy they can scan and send me? Can use the French but it will simply be quicker in English!

We have an Orange Livebox, and from that we have our telephone service , at the moment one telephone. In France most rooms have telephone points ,can these points come from the livebox so that we can take advantage of this telephone service through the livebox in more than one room?

Just returned from Agen Prefecture, our trusty little citroen cost 64.00 euros for a new carte Grise, shes on her last legs not worth 64 euros if sold!! But we luv her! By the way 09.15 this morning, Friday the place was empty ,we were done and out in twenty minutes!!

Thankyou , La Guerriere , that is exactly the help I needed.

We are in area 47 (a high risk of lightening I believe) with overhead supply. So if my understanding is correct a parafoudre is obligatory, our supply is three phase and no books I have read addresses this problem. Is there a three phase parafoudre available,or do I but three of the single phase parafoudre units I have seen on sale? There does not appear to be any parafoudre protection in my existing system which apparently passed inspection before I bought the property last year. We do have a very large EDF box, is it possible that protectionexists in this box ? Your advice would be appreciated.
