French PM looks to scrap two public holidays in bold bid to cut national debt

MPs will vote on François Bayrou's budget plan in the autumn, in a moment of high risk for the government.

As no one works a full week in the month of May unless the feast days fall on a weekend, this'll be fun!!

And of course if the feast day falls on a Thursday or a Tuesday, then they also take the day off between that and the weekend, state offices included.
How the flip can they still have higher productivity than the UK?

Probably very good at manipulation of figures than our government is at squandering.😏
 
So, I woz using my combined weedwhacker /mulcher today and it kind of stopped, seemed like it was out of fuel Quick look in the tank showed a little still left, bit weird, nevertheless filled it up. No start.

I thought it was flooded so left it for half an hour then went back and tried again.
Still no luck, so decided it was prolly flooded so looked at the spark plug prior to taking it out.
The plug connector was not connected, and on close inspection was slightly busticated inside.
So I shoved it back on best I could and started it.
It ran fine, so I used it to finish the job and then put it back in the shed.
This flipping machine seems to be pretty indestructible.

I haven't made up a plug lead since my first Mini 850 in about 1973! :) :) :)

He'll fail. The French are very protective of stuff and quick to get shirty if you meddle, there will be a hooj stink and Francois will quietly put it back on the shelf.
Bet you a creme egg..

Morning All. :D
Drugs seem to be working, the pain in the foot is greatly reduced already. :)
The care & usage label on the drugs runs counter to the Drs instructions and warns of possible kidney damage.
Dr. said take 1 tab 2..4 times a day until the symptoms cease.
Label inside box said take 2, then 1 an hour later, then 1 every 12 hours after that.
The active ingredient is colchicine apparently found in the leaves of a plant.
Anyway's I am on the mend. Limping still, but on the mend nevertheless.
Have a great day. :D
 
Hi all, hope you are having a nice day!

I gotloads of brownie points when W got home today, so worth all the cleaning up and "grass mowing" I did.

Since she had to be up at stupid o'clock this a.m. she is now asleep on the sofa, so I am having a lazy day.;)

Might look at getting a new spark plug cap later on! or borrowing one off a machine I don't use.

Enjoy the rest of the day!
:):):)

Which bit don't you agree wiv?

Permitted development gave home owners greater options to build an eggstension on their home. Plastic, wood and brick. Overall size, its location and the space available are taken into account. Also distance to boundary and origional house size. It were done to allow peeps to extend more easily wiv put going fer full planning permission. It dun't allow yer to build a reservoir in yer garden. Nor are reservoirs built under PD. They're build under propper planning rules.

Or issit the bit about a reservoir changing the environment when it floods the land and suffercates every air breaving object it covers? It may surprise yer that a man made reservoir ain't natural. It hassa major impact on wildlife. Bunny wabbits can't live in their burrows. Baby crispmus tree's can't uproot and move out the way wiv out human help. Wildlife has to be coaxed to move on. Even newts. Suitability of the land and its location is taken into finking.

As you have stated that water companies don't construct new reservoirs due to planning issues, if a application is refused it would be referred to a government appointed planning inspectorate for a decision, however on infrastructure applications this would be referred directly to the secretary of state and the minister for the environment bypassing the planning department, remember HS2 that went through virgin forest peoples land and homes demolished, the reason that none are build is vetoing by shareholders.
A bit of bed time white paper reading
Reservoirs and the environment
Benefits of reservoirs for wild life
Leisure activity for reservoirs
Power generation from reservoirs
Global warming and reservoirs the benefits
So no I do not agreed with your misinformation

...that the old gals bunglehole has just been valued by an estate agent @ £400k.
We will get 2 or 3 more valuations and start the probate process ASAP.
Wifey has floated the possibility of buying it. :eek:
That would cost us at least £267k. The place wants gutting and redoing top to bottom TBH.
I'm not sure that I am up for it.

Why does W want it?
Why £267k thats not half? thought there was only 2 to split it.

Unless its a better place/area than yours and W would agree to somebody doing the work (Not free labour Dan) then you sell your place and move in, then maybe. But I think that needs a lot of talking about.

Oh and make sure you tell the guy giving valuation how many things are wrong with it, you need a low value (but sort of in the market value range).

There were 3 kids from the old gals marriage, so all assets go 3 ways (per stirpes). Wifey, bother-in-law and as her sister died some years ago her share goes to her 2 kids. So we would need to buy the other 2 branches of the family out (2/3 of 400)
Better area (just off Nob-Hill so to speak). It's just a thought ATM, not sure it is worthwhile, but it might be.

Don't forget if you do buy it or inherited it, make sure you pee in each corner to let the neighbours know😁
🤔 No wait that's what dogs do.
I'll get back to you on that🤔
