Why? Do they just assume we all speak French? Do they only care about fellow French speakers?

Maybe take 10 seconds out of your life to do a quick copy and paste into Google and you might discover the reason!

Meh. He's just typical of a generation that likes to moan about roses having thorns, when he should be thankful that thorns have roses...




...and yes, i can use Google too.

Did you have a spell as a taxi driver in Paris Frank? An exchange scheme or somesuch.(Frank in Paris).

No I didn’t, but having a soupçon of French blood, I have relatives in France, two in Paris, and I can handle the lingo, providing people don’t speak at machine gun speed.
I’ve spent a lot of time in France, and I’ve noticed that, particularly in Paris, they seem to drive like me, the taxi drivers even more so.
I remember one occasion, years back, driving my wife’s VW Passat, launching us into the “who dares wins, no prisoners taken” fray that is the Arc de Triomphe junction, and hearing my wife cry, “FFS Frank! You’re not in your cab going around Hyde Park Corner!”

Here you go... ironically the one I don't go to on the left appears closed down now! I always rated the one on the right better and feel exonerated

I think you feel vindicated rather than exonerated. Unless you stood accused of something?

I bought a used laptop and it was running quite hot so I thought I'd clean the heat sink of dust, and just as well I did as it was well clogged up.

To get the the heat sink I had to remove the:

Back cover
Front panal
Keyboard
Battery
Hard drive
CD-ROM
Motherboard
Fan cover
A million screws of assorted sizes

Disconnect the cables to the:

Wifi card antennas
Hard drive
Keyboard
Screen
Motherboard power supply
Speakers
USB board
Touchpad
Finger scanner
Power button

I hope it still works by the time I get it back together

Contrast to my other newer laptop which is slimmer and only require 8 screws and the back panel removed to access everything.

I spotted a CPU upgrade for £30 on ebay so I thought I might as well go for it. The CPU didn't work, so I have reinstalled the old one.

I've now done all of the above three bloody times and it will be four times when I get another CPU. At least I didn't have to put all the screws back in each time.

At this rate you’ll go bold in a couple of years.
