Lay My Hat

Let me know when you've cracked it, Bob! OH has been trying for ages, but no luck yet :lol: Great place, isn't it? Bit chilly, though, for the 30 minute outdoor queue (no reservations taken). For those who don't know it, details here. Well worth a visit if you find yourself in Bordeaux, Toulouse, Na...

I renewed with HL a month ago. In that time, for all three houses as a whole, I've had.......just one enquiry :shock: EDIT: Amazing! Ten seconds after posting this I received an enquiry for 8 persons at our sleeps-6 pad :roll: :lol: So that makes a grand total of two enquiries in a month, across 3 h...

I'm glad you peeps like (most of) it!

Yup, Georges Brassens with a fine example of la chanson française. Rather a catchy ditty, I thought

If you're snowed in with a packet of cornflakes and a dozen tea bags, you could go really mad and make yourself a slideshow. One thing I can't figure out, though, is how to get back to the main website at the end of the slideshow? The only solution I've found is to get the slideshow to open in a new...

Good, innit? Glad to help - lucky me, finding just what I needed on the 'net

Yahoo, got it! If you want to do the same, open lightbox.css and replace #prevLink { left: 0; float: left;} #nextLink { right: 0; float: right;} #prevLink:hover, #prevLink:visited:hover { background: url(../images/prevlabel.gif) left 15% no-repeat; } #nextLink:hover, #nextLink:visited:hover { backgr...

With LV's encouragement and help, I've spent a lovely Sunday by the fire, messing around with Lightbox2. It's quite addictive once you get going...if you're tempted but hesitating, I'd say give it a go. What I'd like to do now, though, is tweak the Lightbox CSS file to get the "Next" and &...

Of course, you'll need them to lay the super quiet rubber rails so the noise of the trains doesn't annoy your other guests, but a small price to pay, I'm sure you'd agree.

Oh my goodness me, Nightie, I barely have the courage to look another new 'season' in the eye...

Nice idea - thanks for the Mailchimp tip, peeps, and that's a cool-looking template, Windy. I've just had a closer look, and realised those are sparring hares (?), not deer. Truly massive beasties - what's in the grass up there? So, is this the sort of thing you can set up and whack out from scratch...

We've decamped to Britknee for the New Year and as the rain is falling in sheets (at a neat 45° bank) and the fir trees are swirling and swishing outside, I've opted out of the invigorating pre-festive beach walk. So, just dawdling with the idea of an eBook, free to set up using calameo . At the mo,...

Life is so complicated, isn't it? :( I think I'll add something like this to my House Notes: Remember, if you insist on downloading illegal content instead of hopping off to the beach to enjoy some family rockpooling, please don't be dumb, use a proxy. How are 'they' going to police this, btw? (Than...

This rings bells, e-Richard. I was first asked for a bed guard just a few weeks ago, and was mystified. Google and Amazon to the rescue, though, but not before some half-hearted resistance on my part. I caved in on receipt of the ninety-ninth email from Madame* instructing me to beg, steal or borrow...

Wazzat, then, Ros? Foxtrot Oscar?

Succinct little phrase, I admit, especially in the first flush of Chez Nous rage. Only to be used with parsimony, of course

Immediate call back from Chez Nous in the UK with a firm promise that this will be sorted out with their marketing outfit in Prague...

...so top marks for reactivity, and hope results will follow.

Just had another call from Prague. :roll: I rang Chez Nous in the UK: Advertiser Support Team on 0845 268 1102 or on 0044 1282 845739 The lady I spoke to there admitted the calls are from a team who work for Chez Nous ("but are not supposed to operate in this way"), and that you cannot spe...
