The New French Forum

For some time my iPad2 has been reluctant to charge.Disconnecting and reconnecting several times eventually has worked. Now it just doesn't want to know. Any ideas?

A long medical paper of results of a small group test of a combination drug therapy for coronavirus infection.

Looks promising.

I fitted these gates about eight years ago one pillar had moved a couple of centimetres a couple of years ago so as I have some time on my hands started to re hang them today.
They were cheap brico depot gates and the hanging mechanism is just a lump of hard plastic with a bolt coming out of it that slots into a bit of steel that gets cemented...

No dictionary required, just thought associations.

Eg: torture => chamber => maid => maiden => over etc.

Over to you.

How about a game? Take the last two letters (minimum) of the previous French word to make another. Proper names OK. Strict rules, though. No phonetics, no cheating or else Nurse Ratched will be round with the syringe! :shock:
Allons-y......
GOUVERNEMENT

At Intermarché Saint Amand this morning I had to avoid sneezing and coughing woman but the worst was at the checkout.
The woman in front had a mask on which was fair enough but the smell from her body odour was knockout, perhaps she did not notice it if she wears a mask all the time. 8-)
I am sure if I could smell her at one meter the virus could...

They better hope ghosts do not carry the CV19.
Ghost hunters are still working they say they cannot do it from home. ;)

Have the rules changed as I had a paypal account with both my french debit card and my UK debit card registered both with the french address (we don't have a UK address) The address changed (thanks to the maire not because we moved) and I changed the address on paypal.com however whilst the french card has been accepted the UK debit card isn't. I...

I note that Sweden have taken no action on the CV19 situation, no social distancing etc.

Surely a recipe for disaster?

I was thinking it is about time for a new topic (as above) along the lines of What has pleased you today and What made you laugh today. Surely not every day is wonderful so how about somewhere to moan, groan, or vent your spleen.

I'll start it off. Simple shopping trip. Road closed between our village and the motorway. No reason given or...

I'm basically getting sick to death of different members of the government (UK) making announcements and answering questions and then in either a few days or as little as less than an hour they say the exact opposite. Shortages of test equipment they say are due to supplies not being available when various spokesmen for medical supply companies...

For those of you with a Linky, how long did it take for your consumption to be visible on the EDF et Moi app?
Our Linky was fitted at the end of February but I still can't access the details.

Despite the title, the English version of Maraboutdeficelle :D As it's (roughly) the native language of the forum, minimum THREE last letters of the previous word to make a new one.

CONVENIENT

You have an email.

350.000 fines handed out in France since the lock down.
That should keep the government ticking over.

OH has printer problem that perhaps somebody might help her solve, she writes:

‘ Just replaced ink cartridges on printer. Printer is working ok but no ink coming through.
Cartridges are lit up red. ‘

Hi

Having a bit of a boundary issue - need to establish who a parcel of land (number, etc known) belongs to but don’t want to involve the Mayor... ;)

Want to do it through the local cadastral, so to speak, but don’t seem to be able to find their contact details on line...

We were hoping for a nice form on-line but there does not appear to be...

Did anybody notice that today's Tweet of the Day on Radio 4 was the Vernal Jape :?: :lol: :lol:

Spotted this morning and just before lunch I spent an amazing five minutes watching an osprey hunting over our neighbours' ponds. Five minutes of pure magic in a very crazy world.

I thought we had a weather thread on here but been through 32 pages in the café twice and found nothing.
We had snow yesterday which is unusual in this part of the Cher, it melted a bit last night but snowed again during the night. She flies into Limoges this afternoon so waiting for the snow to melt.

Looks like this will be the first swimming pool post of 2020 - pity it is on a negative note!

The water level has been dropping in my pool over the past few weeks, then I realised it is because of a leak. I found a crack in the skimmer, just where the rectangle shape opening joins the circular bit which holds the basket. It is a cocque pool with...

Good morning all.
First I would just like to say that I'm very happy to be able to use this site. It's great that it's here...
It has been suggested that I resurrect this thread, seeing as 'mine' has been started by someone else, so here is it.
Personally I'm more interested in people being happy than in what they are doing (unless it makes them...

I've got a Full Chicken roast dinner,Tatties,sprouts,carrots and roast onions followed by fruit cocktail and yogurt....and you?

Maybe in creating this topic there will be those who can contribute to talk about what's on French TV and if someone else creates a topic called English television the same thing can happen regarding English TV, because at the moment there isn't a section of the forum where one or the other can be discussed except in The Café.

Anyway, does anyone...
