Re: Last throes?

Not being in the first flush of youth myself, I got confused. I belong to an entirely different forum and mixed up the acronyms for the two.
I shall hang my head in shame and write another fugue.

Re: Disgruntled Expats

Thank you for your erudite observations, Master of FoxHounds.

Disgruntled Expats

I read in another thread that some of you old stagers (if I may call you that) are considering moving out of France as a result of the civil unrest.

Here in the UK there's been scant coverage of...

Re: New in France, not able to draw money from my new French account Help!

I often wonder about that on this forum.

Re: Student in Hungary wanting to move to France

LittleLion - others have said this is not an insane endeavour and they're right - to a point.

Re: Hornets

[In the UK, there is the sadly typical scaremongery about the arrival of the Asiatic hornet. No doubt, the creature will eat you and destroy most of France.

IMHO, this vote will reverberate across history for millennia. It's deeply depressing to read here (and almost everywhere else) about people who can only think about themselves.
