Join the queue. You won't even need French - she studied in the US vinyards (amongst others) I could name half a dozen redblooded males there with tongues hanging out, including my (presently unattached) son........

Look up Domaine des Souleilles near F-11240 Donezac. They only bottle about 5000 bottles a year; if you know a good importer they could increase it 5 fold.

Had to go to the quack and get some revitaliser pills this afternoon. That other stuff does not fortify the over forties enough (if at all)

um, you were in the Pyrenees?

Live there half the year on a farm; the house is about 200 years old with wooden beams, tiled floor etc (not forgetting the swimming pool with up to 13 hours sun)

that's a long drive Bro!

Sure is, sis. 750 miles. Do it twice a year and this time was one of the worst; heavy rain at both ends, longer stops than usual, a hole in the exhaust was noisy, points failure on the Chunnel ..... 16 hours instead of 12 - 13. (that is to Essex)

I can't access the site (404 error)

Same here, Ruthie.

"The host you are trying to contact may not exist.

The host does exist, but the file you are asking for doesn't.

The host does exist, but only as an alias (or additional A record) for another host. Try examining the reverse DNS for the host you are trying to reach, and if the reverse lookup yields a different host name, try that one instead.

The host does exist, but you are trying to refer to it by IP address rather than host name. Use the host name instead of the IP address."

Suggest someone gets the site checked coz there ain't nuffink wrong with my internet settins' !

That one works for me.

Looks nice.

Mirepoix is lovely!

Not far from Pamiers, where I was a language assistant. In fact, the whole region is pretty nice.

that works and looks lovely...

I think it is time to start saving up!

Not too sure what happened there. I have accessed it from all over using IE and also Firefox. In addition, I don't use the following forward slash but it still works. Demon (as in demon.co.uk) is my normal UK ISP - used them for well over a decade. I'll get the experts on to that.

Just a thoughht, JR - there's nuffin wrong with your internet settings for Windows 98 but the site was written with very slightly more recent software; Microsoft Frontpage - a 2003 version. Perhaps there are tags in there your version cannot pick up.

David

All I can say is that I really want to make it over there as soon as I can

You had a . after uk in your link - that's probably what stopped it working.

well spotted, that'll be the problem...

Isn't it amazing how much trouble a single dot can cause
