Emsie, just a heads up here. There is an "ignore" function. Click on the user name of anyone who is especially tedious and you will see the option. Not something I often use but I think I'm about to! Welcome to the forum, anyway. Most of us are a bit more tolerant.
If you don't want to change what we think and don't give a rat's arse what we think then why bother getting into a lather about it and posting here? However, you are correct about your opinion not mattering.
If you do transport it by Correos make sure they will send it to Ireland and check the cost before you leave. I had mine sent to France and they dropped something heavy on it and squashed the front fork. Use a spacer.....Definitely don't trust them with a carbon frame. You might want to ride...
Sorry, you are going to have to look this up for yourself. I was told about it when I stayed at Conques art the Abbey. As I was walking with a donkey I didn't write it all down. I suggest the place to start looking would be the Mairie or thé village website. I do know the buses are very...
I don't think that's invariably true or even terribly relevant. The health centre is public health care and is what you will find in a small town . If you want a private hospital or clinic then only the larger towns will have one. It will probably be easier and quicker to visit the local health...
Good to hear of steady improvement for all the wounded warriors. For those who like to read, I would suggest an e-reader for instant new books! Maybe on a gooseneck stand fixed to your favourite chair, with a page turner clipped to the reader. And possibly a cat on your lap for warmth and...
It's certainly still current in Poitou Charentes. We call it godaille and usually mop it up with bread. I have heard that it's acceptable to drink a dry sherry with a consommé but that was a long time ago in a country far away. I'll drink wine with anything except chocolate, and I might even...
Sorry, wrong again. The French drink what they want and waiters don't have heart attacks if your choice is unusual. Either bottled or tap water is normal and wine is of course another option. You really don't know much about France, less than I do, but then I've only lived here for thirty five...
Not again! I think everyone learns basic table manners as a child, which is all anyone expects. I can learn any big differences in about five minutes, which leaves plenty of time for thinking about anything else I want to think about. Funnily enough, it doesn't include listening to or reading a...
I once did a walk in France with a dog and a donkey. Not even my dog, his owner was on holiday. Sometimes the dog got to stay in my room, sometimes in my tent, and often in the stable with the donkey. Sometimes all three of us were in the stable. We all had a great time. Just don't expect a...
Why not? It's as cheap to make so an increased price is likely due to tax. If there is no extra tax on the beer then the cost should reflect the production cost.
