  1. I have just spotted this thread, we had the exact same problem a few months ago. We can't get up to our dish so employed our local reliable satellite expert who replaced the 20 year old LNB and realigned the dish, all good now.
  2. Errm - check the date on the post that you are replying to george. I would think that the problem has either been solved or scrapped by now!
  3. Unless you or your family had relatives who did not survive Auschwitz my opinion is that you should not be permitted to gawp and take pictures at any site like that. Likewise the Titanic - it is after all a marine grave site for those that died.
  4. It's 18 deg C, cloudy with occasional drizzle here at midday - all departments in Brittany are ok for aquifer levels apart from Ille et Vilaine which is on surveillance.
  5. We've had regular rain showers and some days of steady light rain here in Brittany. Meteo is of the opinion that there will be a breakdown in the hot weather shortly. "Storms will affect a large part of France next week On Monday, new stormy bursts are expected from Aquitaine going up towards a vast northeast quarter. These storms will be strong, locally violent, with powerful gusts of wind, hailstorms, and intense downpours. This very stormy weather with the risk of severe thunderstorms should continue at least until next Thursday." 16-06 -23 https://meteofrance.com/actualites-et-dossiers/actualites/previsions/meteo-vers-une-importante-degradation-orageuse Funny how they can predict the climate with absolute millimetric accuracy ( the science is settled etc) but when it comes to weather we would be better off with seaweed and chicken bones.
  6. Not a great help to current joint pain sufferers I realise but worth considering as long term I have taken a diet supplement to improve and maintain my joint health for at least the past 20 years. Having wrecked my back and one ankle by daily heavy lifting when I was a partner in a business, including a lot of lifting, walking about carrying heavy weights and receiving no real help from UK doctor apart from the advice to just take paracetamol when it hurt. I started taking glucosamine daily and after about 4 to 6 weeks started to feel an improvement so have carried on with it.to this day. I don't get recurring joint problems - ok I get a bit stiff after swinging a big brushcutter or hauling a walk-behind mower about but it doesn't last like it used to. I take the glucosamine HCL with vitamin C variant made from corn - I found the one made from shellfish caused stomach upsets. Healthspan are good and reliable but there are dozens of other sources I guess. Don't take it without doing some research on interactions with drugs you may be taking such as:- https://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/glucosamine.html
  7. Sensible answer. OH's puter had a problem last week with "everything dancing around" etc screen flickering and more. Likely the problem is as her puter guru in the UK said is to get rid of or disable Microsoft Edge (used to be called Internet exploder) She did this and it stopped it. How? https://allthings.how/how-to-fully-disable-microsoft-edge-in-windows-11/
  8. That's good to know that another person is suffering the the same side effects that I have had since jab no 3 however long ago that was. The morning after jab no 3 I had uncontrollable sneezing fits and nose literally running like a tap - I walked around the rest of the day with tissues stuffed up my nose - a really miserable state of affairs. I still suffer with it to a greater or lesser degree depending on what I'm doing, or working inside or outside with the pollen. I've recently found that the Sudafed nasal spray reduces the effects to a manageable level and gets rid of the blocked up nose feeling. Both MOH and I have decided that enough is enough so no more Covid jabs.
  9. From the government website https://www.ecologie.gouv.fr/feux-foret-et-vegetation It seems that maybe you as a neighbour have access to his land or he accepts the legal liability if there is a fire.
  10. https://actu.fr/planete/climat/obligation-de-dbroussaillage-contre-les-incendies-l-amende-en-hausse-tes-vous-concern_59615403.html https://www.ecologie.gouv.fr/feux-foret-et-vegetation This is going to be difficult to achieve for us due to the lie of the land and our many trees, anybody else in this situation? The main fire risk around here is our new french neighbour who is renovating the longere next door and who insists on having family barbeques not too far away from a row of Lawson cypress on our land - they seem to be oblivious to the risk.
  11. "I may have overlapped your message" Possibly -thanks for your help.
  12. I just attempted to report the post above for spamming and got the following message:- "The page you are trying to access is not available for your account" What sort of account do I need to be able to report a post?
  13. "The enquiry hasn't , yet, named any individuals" Au contraire !
  14. The full official, incontrovertible details of the corrupt, money grubbing Biden crime family laid bare. Bank records. Money "wires" (transfers) from foreign governments including China. The whole family is involved. But no media will report or comment on it - Why? Is that because "Orange Man Bad" or have the Democrats bought the US media? https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Bank-Memorandum-5.10.23.pdf
  15. A friend of MOH in the UK has a Santander debit card. She recently received in the post a replacement card. That’s funny she thought, my current card has about 9 months left until it expires, so she phoned Santander. It’s a sophisticated fraud, if she had used the new card, her bank account would have been cleaned out. So be warned!
  16. Might I suggest introducing the procedure that a lot of private forums have, new forum members are on probation for six posts to prove that they can post relevant, sensible posts until they are accepted as full members? And no forum names accepted consisting of incomprehensible alpha numeric strings would be accepted?
  17. "His takings have gone through the poof!" ?!
  18. You can bring your own vehicle into France, without needing to register it, for short stays of up to six months in the country. However, if you are staying for more than six months, you will have to register your car within one month of establishing residency in France. There doesn't seem to be any way to avoid registering your Swedish car in France if you are studying in France for 1 year. Perhaps the place you are studying at - university - college etc could advise you further?
  19. All this nuclear armageddon discussion hinges on the answer to the question:- "Will russia's nuclear weapons actually work?" Explanation Nuclear weapons need regular servicing due to the initialising and boosting component tritium gas decaying into helium 3. It's not like conventional bullets or shells which still work properly after 50 to 100 years Trtium is a neutron emitter when used as an initialiser and fission booster to the bomb core, but it's half life is about 12.5 years. Its decay product is Helium-3, which absorbs neutrons, so it’s critical to refresh the boosting gas periodically or the warhead goes psst instead of boom - it's called a fizzle. Here's the interesting bit. Tritium costs around $30,000 per gram, the world market for tritium is only about 400 grams so it's value is on a par with the finest diamond. In the time gap between the collapse of the Soviet Union and the rise of the current Russia a lot of top people got obscenely rich due to selling off any assets they could get hold of. Given that during the start of the invasion of Ukraine the Russian armoured personnel carriers were breaking down in their droves because of being fitted with new cheap knock-off Chinese tyres. Ask yourself the question "Did Russia carry on faithfully maintaining all those nuclear warheads with expensive tritium or did the oligarchs sell it off?"
  20. A lot of incendiary whimpering going on in Rennes tonight. https://www.letelegramme.fr/ille-et-vilaine/rennes/direct-suivez-la-manifestation-a-rennes-apres-la-decision-du-conseil-constitutionnel-14-04-2023-13318348.php
  21. I've already replied to your "request" once but somebody removed the links I posted -- Grrrrr!!!.👿 Ask at your local Intermarche or SuperU store they hire cars and vans.
  22. I presume you know that France introduced a similar system last year? https://www.interieur.gouv.fr/actualites/dossiers-de-presse/alerter-et-proteger-deploiement-national-du-dispositif-fr-alert-0
  23. Not quite. Remember the simple experiment of chewing a piece of bread until it tastes sweet? Starch (carbohydrates) is the stored form of sugars in plants. The starch in the seeds provides food for the embryo as it germinates while the starch that is consumed by humans is broken down by the enzymes in saliva and later in the stomach into smaller molecules, such as maltose and glucose. The human stomach can then absorb the glucose.
  24. Sadly not mainly big cities. https://www.letelegramme.fr/bretagne/en-bretagne-les-pesticides-nuisent-toujours-a-la-qualite-des-eaux-22-02-2023-13283890.php
