Fuming today of the service or lack of it we got from Santander. We tried to buy Euros on Thursday night on the internet through the orange supermarket. We were told that the transaction cancelled with no explanation. The supermarket were told that the bank declined the transaction. However for some...

Thats awsome. Love anything made from pallets.

We went for a discovery in the end. Haynes manual bought. Tool kit shopping next. I love buying tools and Mrs Powell has given me the go ahead as well. Great success!! I'm actually looking forward to doing the maintaing my self as I'm not a car person at all but it's one of those things that might a...

I deliberately avoided the 'killing for fun' side of the issue,though I would point out that the bringing a load of cash into the countryside arguement is the main arguement put forward by those who would wish to harrass the Buzzards (step forward those one-time '' defenders of the Countryside and ...

Good advice, I'll look into it.

If I were you I'd take a long holiday in the Correze. We know of a little place!

On consultation with a friend "in the know" looks like a discovery might be a good bet. I love the 2CV idea but we need one to actually get there first!! Might look into when we're there as a fall back.

HOORAY :icon_smile: :cheers: :drunken: :brave: :thumbright: :mrgreen: We finally have a day for signing to get our house!! Next Thursday. Plenty of notice then!! We've spent nearly a month now bugging the immoblier for a date and out of the blue-Next Thursday please. So much for the 3-4 weeks notice...

Problem is that we're going to the corezze which is usually under snow 2-3 months of the year. The 4x4 is kind of a must. I'll look into the susuki, how easy is it to maintain yourself?

Is the "don't know" bit pug? They're a bit rounder than chihuahuas and I think she looks like a bit pug like.

Might seem unsual to talk about getting a 4x4 on here but I was wondering if anyone has experience owning a landy. Before we get to France I'm going to sell our current car and get a secondhand Landy. Reason being that, as far as I understand, you can be quite selfsufficient with the older models. A...

Can't remember exactly. It was definitely something to do with the vampires (who turn the nearest pieces into vampires), and something to do with flying - so could you fly from one place to another and turn all the other pieces into vampires. It caused a small war that almost came to blows, so we p...

Been buying a up a few in preparation for life without tv in France. got two this week Blood Bowl Team Manager (Card game for ex Games Workshop geeks like myself, helps me feed my GW habit without the ridiculously expensive figures) and one that should appeal to ishers- Agricola You have to build a ...

Also speak to the gp about the course "boost your mood" run at Gloscester college. I went and it really helped. I think. I am still a grumpy old man but I think that's just me!!

Only issue I had was when I first started taking it. It made me stoned for about a week. Other than issues with alcohol when I forgot to take it I'm afraid to say cant help. Whats the problem?
