JohnRoss Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 You could try this one though I don't know if it is any better though it is different! The audio text to speech thing is good..........JRhttp://translation2.paralink.com/PS It translated the paragraph as: Hit and violated just a step away from dance hall A suspect is on guard on sight after the rape of an English young person in Two - Wean. During the night of Saturday to Sunday, a taxi driver surprised it hitting and violating a young person a britanique young person of 25 years in a field near dance hall in Souvigné. Having stopped some minutes later, the 30-year-old man could be put in custody in the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Roy Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 [quote user="sweet 17"]Hi, RR, how are you? Funnily enough I have been thinking about you since posting this thread as you are someone who has done it ( moved within France that is) and I wonder whether you are still pleased you moved?Of course, you didn't move far away and I am coming round to the idea that perhaps I, too, shouldn't move too far away.Yes, I have heard about Brive (by which I am presuming you mean Brive la Gaillarde)?I am truly looking forward to a move but I am also a little apprehensive because it seems a very big project at this time especially with market conditions the way they are.Do come back and tell me how it has worked out for you.........please?[:D][/quote]Sweet 17 I have only just read this posting as I haven't been on the forum for a while, so my apologies for not replying sooner. We have been very pleased with our move (which happened nearly 18 months ago now) even though it means we are doing renovations all over again.[:-))] We have more beautiful views, a better garden area and enough land for our 2 donkeys who used to be in a borrowed field not attached to the house before - in fact since June this year we have 3 donkeys as my jenny had a foal [:D]. The best thing though is that the move left us mortgage free, which we were very grateful for when everything in the financial world went pear shaped last year.

mint Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 RR, thank you for letting me know how you are and I am delighted that it's all worked out so well for you.All we have is our little dog, in the way of animals. We have good friends where we are and we thought we wanted to be in a town for all the amenities. In fact, on reflection, I really just want somewhere quiet (but with easy access to a nice town with "stuff") and we also need to buy something with the sterling we have!Sounds ridiculous, perhaps, but we want to buy from someone willing to take sterling and then sell our present house in euros. Then, hopefully, that will mean we will have a nice lot of euros to live on and not have to keep watching the exchange rates.But this post is mainly to say I am so very pleased it's worked out well for you![kiss] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
