[quote user="Tancrède"] Q :     Why did the vegan cross the road ?[/quote] A:  To tell someone they are a vegan.

A fraction under a 5% rise between 2018 and 2019.

[quote user="nomoss"]I think France and Germany may go off subsidising every other EU country once the UK is no longer contributing to fill the bottomless pit. [/quote] German 3rd quater figures, published today, state they managed to avoid a technical recession by 0.1% of growth.  It's not beyond the realms of possibilty that those figures were 'cooked' to avoid the inevitable. At this rate they could be touting around for their own subsidies in the not to distant future.

[quote user="nomoss"]Sarcasm and nit-picking seem to be becoming popular today[:(] [/quote] Hmm. Perhaps tomorrows full moon could be frying some brains.

In the interim, with the lack of an EPG, you may find this 7day tv guide a useful addition. It's easy to use and has information on all the listings.

[quote user="Gardian"]The All Blacks were never in it, were they? [/quote] Even Leicester City managed to put more away against Southampton than the All-Blacks were able to muster. ">

[quote user="woolybanana"]+an anyone brook that rhyme scheme?[/quote] Ugh???

[quote user="mint"]Mint who must be obeyed Maybe I could learn to cast spells and extract obedience?  [/quote] Do I detect a dominatrix emerging here?  Now there's a show I'd pay to watch. 

Try having a trawl around THIS insurance comparison site for some prices.

[quote user="suein56"]Apparently you can ask for a bilan de santé .. not sure who you ask but the centres are few and far between ..[/quote] My wife's best friend, (French), told her about this service about 5 years ago having used it herself.  There is a facility local for us and my wife called up for an appointment and was duly seen within the month. I suggest you call your MT or local CPAM to check what may be available where you live.

[quote user="chessie"]  And he's 'lost' the metal fixture component that was on the co-axial cable.  Having looked at the fittings available from Amazon I can't see any that match this old Humax box. [/quote] As your present box is a Humax I think you will find THIS is the connector required to connect the coaxial cable to the box.It is a 'screw on to cable' male type F plug and you will find the instructions on how it is fitted are within the #5 image on the left of the Amazon page. As long as the female connection on the box is not damaged they should connect.

[quote user="chessie"]OK - I'll admit it - I haven't a clue about modern techno - have real problems. We need a 'new' satellite decoder box - and we need it for UK tv.   Please don't give me a hard time about this;  OH is in early stages of Alzy and 'watches a lot of UK tv'...................... Chessie[/quote] From the above I would take it that Chessie is already in possession of a sat-box and is seeking a replacement. Perhaps if she can post the make and model number, if they do actually have one,  it might be possible to find an identical replacement which would, hopefully, assist her in the task of installing and setting up the replacement as the cables and remote control will be the same.

2021 has been proposed by the EU and each state will select either permanant summer or permanant winter time. A recipe for a total co.ck-up if you ask me. HERE

[quote user="Patf"]Could be, but more likely Moscow. Which is more inland.[/quote]Now that makes much more sense. [quote user="Patf"]I think St. Petersburg is on the Baltic coast. [/quote]You're quite right. What was I thinking? Thanks for that Patf.

I'm guessing here. I would say the bright star like location near the top right corner has to be St. Petersburg. Can anyone confirm/reject?

[quote user="idun"]   And the award for the brightest EU country must go to Holland, I have no idea why they need so much night light, but it is amazingly bright[:D] [/quote] It will be generated from all their cigi-lighters being used to spark up their joints and spliffs.

[quote user="Meek Megan "]Why should the EU look east? [/quote] If you aren't already aware the UK will be withdrawing its leadership abilities, stablizing influences and financial support from the EU on the 31st October. These are all qualities that Britain has diligently bestowed around the world for centuries. The EU will regret its untimely stance with the UK and ultimately it will fall apart within itself via economic strangulation or civil unrest following Britains departure. Hence the suggestion for the EU to look East to see what could possibly manifest itself similar to that of Britains withdrawl from Hong Kong 20 years ago. To be clear, the end of the months events will have very little impact, if any, on my overall situation so I have no axes to grind.

[quote user="idun"]Well, I had not thought that leaving NATO was also part of all this..???? is it????????? [/quote]Try a little further afield. Say, Hong Kong. One protester shot by police with live ammunition.Would never have happened during British governance.

and observe the unwanted outcome after the UK relinquishes its long term presence in a specific place within the world. Not for the first time either.

It would appear Complete France Forum has not suffered monsieur le president's axe after all. This therefore is old news (4 days late). "Macron has abandoned his pledge of slashing 50,000 central government jobs during his five-year term, saying that only 10,500 would be now be cut". Will a similar row-back develop with his promised €9 billion tax cuts in 2020? France draft budget.

Whilst I have been resident in several different countries throughout my life I have never had the inclination to ship foodstuff etc., which I happen to be partial to, from one jurisdiction to another. However, although I am able to obtain all my requirements and needs here in France I have infact made one notable exception to the above policy. In view of the pending future European status I became rather concerned as to my ability to still be able to purchase 'HP Sauce' from either Intermarche or LeClerc. With that in mind I ordered and received last month, from the UK, a 4litre catering pack of the stuff. Sorted.  B****t?? Bring it on.

[quote user="pomme"]I use uBlockOrigin and see the pop-up. However if I click the </> symbol at the bottom of the UBlockOrigin drop-down menu to disable JavaScript on the web site I no longer get the pop-up. [/quote] Likewise pomme.  However the 'Reply' function with JavaScript disabled works but to use the 'Quote' function JavaScript needs to be enabled. For lurking I disable JavaScript.

[quote user="suein56"] As to the annoying cookie pop-up then, although I have tried many variations of browser and operating systems, I don't see it at all.[/quote] Perhaps it's too cold in Finistere for the 'cookies' to bake properly and rise so as they become visible? 

[quote user="Alan Zoff"] Four fit, tooled-up "soldiers" - I could have taken them easily.[/quote]

[quote user="BQF"] Does anyone think that’s a terrible idea? Are there even people out there who would do a bit of work in exchange for rent? Has anyone tried this?[/quote] You may well be able to  find out HERE
