  1. Could equally apply to some posters here!!!!
  2. Not sure what you are talking about!!! Lack of English speaking probably rather than your 'odd' post! However, There are none that I know of. I can't keep away from myself now, can I?
  3. I wonder how many of the 'righteous' people here would baulk at making a 'quick buck' on drugs if they thought they could get away with it?
  4. Being naive isn't an insult. It's statement of fact. You are confused!
  5. You and your family have my sympathy . It is indeed bloody cruel but I am convinced my comments are right. I have never experienced it in my family and I hope I never have to . Mind you I seem to have outlived most of them anyway!!!! Must be my caring and considerate nature!!!!
  6. Well still compos-mentis enough to to have assessed you anyway!!!
  7. It's of no use to anyone pretending there is some sort of parallel world where everything is 'tikkity boo'! If someone should be unfortunate enough to suffer the sort of dementia implied then the reality is they wouldn't know if they were in a care home or Shanghai prison. The relatives have the problem not the sufferer. I don't know how old you are either but obviously you are naive!
  8. Apart from 'letting the younger generation decide' You get my vote! In any event should someone reach an age or a mental condition where they can't even fill in a form then perhaps it doesn't really matter if they are in a an EPHAD or In the ground, they wouldn't know the difference! Like you, I believe most of these pompous 'I'm now French' types invariably go back to the country they have castigated most of their lives!!!
  9. I quite agree. Perhaps they half heartedly mean they now have 'French Nationality' rather than being French! I would have thought than anyone with half a brain cell would understand they can never be anything other than the nationality they were born too! A piece of paper changes nothing other than the legality of nationality. I wonder if the same people would say the same thing had they changed their 'nationality' to that of, say, Rwanda or the Congo!!!!
  10. A proper French boulangerie in Camden Town!!!! Jesus Christ what has happened to my home Town!!!!
  11. So 'you are the only 'gay' in the village! Not all Brits are 'gay' are they?
  12. "The ongoing question is how come the notaire didn't tell us this when we specifically asked him in writing about its details and who had rights to use it, and he had done the previous transactions involving it! " If you asked the question then you should have insisted on an answer! You have to take the responsibility I'm afraid. Buyer beware! Why did you go ahead if you weren't satisfied? Seems rather naive.
  13. Just to add a little: I know doctors (GPs) are self employed and therefor, presumably, keep the 25€ but what of the other expenses? How much does the doctor keep in his ' pocket'? Doctors in a hospital are on a contract so different rules apply to them as they are salaried.
  14. On the news this morning was an article concerning doctors pay. It would seem that a consolation will be increased to 30 euros. Given that most of it is reimbursed, one way or another, it isn't a problem but I wonder how much of the doctors fee he/she actually gets to keep! Do doctors have to pay for premises, secretaries, phone bills etc? They have to pay tax I suppose. If I were cheeky enough (I'm not!) I would ask next time I am there. I don't begrudge them by the way, everything has to be paid for and the U.K. could learn from the French system; just curious!
  15. Very jolly in fact! I do accept your comment in the way it was meant though. Incidentally I try never to use a debit card, almost impossible these days of course. Always have cash on me. As for a credit card!! Never!
  16. I have never been scamed, not to say I never will, but it is unlikely. People are scammed because they are far too casual with details they give out and not studying anything they receive properly and probably most of all they use credit and debit cards with gay abandon and rarely check statements etc. I have little or no sympathy for people who are scammed. It costs me money when banks or anyone else pays these idiots compensation for their neglect !!!! Yes keep on your toes!!!! A forlorn hope though with most people expecting compensation!!! Nothing to be done about dimwits I'm afraid!
  17. It is a good warning. I have never quite understood why people 'buy' a problem. Anyone buying anything that is 'shared' in anyway is buying a potential problem.
  18. It's deux temps. I use a lot of 2 stroke for various machines and make my own. It's very simple and I'm not even sure it can be bought ready mixed. Did your friend say what ratio he wanted 25:1 50:1 for example? There are different grades for different machines.Your friend shouldn't have any problem whatsoever, providing he knows the ratio he wants. Just buy the petrol ( at a garage) and the 2 strike oil (at any DIY store) and mix whatever ratio is required. The different ratios are usually printed on the 2 stroke oil container.
  19. I never have have a problem logging on. I'm not saying that out of any smug or superior attitude as my computer skills are rubbish. My view is that if I, and others, are logging on without any problems it isn't the fault of the site but is the fault of the device being used to log on or the fault of the user using the device!
