I dont see any problems with a glass or two of wine, unless the glass holds about a litre, I try and have three days in the week without & generally have few glasses of red & a petit apero du anisette a la weekend, I once nailed a 5 litre box with a friend & diddnt feel to clever afterwards!

Hi Put your money into property, pension funds have a nasty habit of being raided or diminished in management charges so pay off your mortgage first N

And while you're at it have a pee up the wall of their house and park your camper van at the end of their drive expecting to stay there a few days... when said thing happened at one of our clients farms, I very politely asked them if they knew they were parked on private land and was promptly told to f*** off. 'OK, I will' I very calmly replied, 'but Ill be back with the bulldozer...' Oddly enough they left. N -

Hi all, i have taken a chainsaw over on the ferries a couple of times in the back of the car. They are classed as dangerous items, so you are supposed to tell the ferry company you are carrying them in advance, which I did once and no one seemed too interested. I just removed the bar & drained all the fuel so they seemed OK with that. Incidentally Brittany Ferries charge a bit more if your trailer is over 3m, try LD lines or the tunnel is reasonable this time of year. N

...Agreed, Then they increase the DD saying "oh this is as low as we can get it" I had the same cak from EON so I swapped, the pricing models seem to be biased to using more not less & the direct debit is always about 150% of annual consumption divided by 12. scum I despise more than BT & Microsoft.

Agree entirely, check out the lease agreement & boot him out ASAP

BT broadband problems and just can't seem to solve them. Help!
NFG replied to Rob D's topic in General chat
Agreed, BT are loathed & despised by techies, they even screw up the internet by not hosting a domain with an A record at btcentralplus.com - even if clients dont use a BT mailbox they inject this domain into mail headers so their sent mail manifests as spam, - spit. N -
BT broadband problems and just can't seem to solve them. Help!
NFG replied to Rob D's topic in General chat
Hi all, A slight problem with changing ISPs such as Virgin is the exchange at Sway does not provide those services, neither does it have any LLU providers, such as talk talk. I have found the most consistent speed tester is at Speedtest.net . Thankfully there is no BT over here & despite being fairly rural still get a good service http://www.speedtest.net/result/1733657211.png N -
I think thats the real reason we're 'over here' N

Hi Glad to hear it wasnt quite as bad as it sounded so if you raise £2500 then youre quits get well soon & dont do it again! N

Hi, There are a lot of factors that govern the speed & quality of broadband you receive, however out of all the many providers that I have dealt with BT seem the least interested in resolving them for the domestic customer. So, are you sure the problem is with BTs service? To start, could you please post your router make, distance from exchange & what you have done to determine that its BTs problem, also if you have any neighbours with BTBB do you know what speed they are getting?

Cos the houses are about half price of UK with about 5 times more land? they have a health service that actually works roads are generally very good wine is cheaper than petrol, but then most things are! to name a few & yes, French customer service can be dismal! Thanks, N

Hi £500 a week tax free? thats quite a good 'take home pay', if you cant live on that, tough **** youre wasting too much money. Trouble is its been defeated in the Lords - what a pack of William Anchors. N

Hi Would it be possible to contact the manufacturers for information regarding how best to start it? Whilst in the RN most of our motors were star connected and just had a direct on-line 3 phase starter with over current trips, be aware that a motor can take up to eight times running current for a short time when starting!
