BBC Prime Europe

Since we changed internet provider to Free we can receive some English language TV. Until a few days ago we got BBC World news channel (it suddenly disappeared!) but we still get Sky News, Al Jazeera and BBC Prime Europe.

BBC Prime Europe shows the best in British television as a showcase to the world.

Now you have to guess which programmes. I'll post a comment in a while to say what they show.. (Cheats will find that BBC Prime Europe has a website)

Sitcoms:

That one with Victor Meldrew.

That one with Caroline Quentin and the big guy who's really thick.

That one with Zoë Wafflemaker and the dentist and the dysfunctional family.

I can't imagine what the citizens of the world make of Victor Meldrew, can you ?

I'm beginning to worry about you Alan. Stay with the safe things like The Clangers and you'll get neither hurt or confused, (well not too much more anyway!).

A bit about music exams in UK and France

They're really different. I think I have already mentioned that while in the UK people generally find a private teacher for their instrument, or do it through a school scheme, here there are municipal music school, conservatoires and so on. The situation is a little more complex than I had first understood, because the schools vary in the rigidity of their organisation: the most, the conservatoires, next the municipals, then the associations. Our music school is an association, but it tends to apply the standards of the municipal schools with its programme of cycles, etc. Britain - grade 1 to 8, grade 8 being roughly equivalent to A-level, pre university/conservatoire. France - 3 cycles, each taking about 4 years, with 3ème cycle being roughly equivalent to grade 8. Theory of music - UK to take grade 8 you need theory grade 5. In France you study theory alongside your instrumental studies, very slowly. Catrin's flute music is MUCH more difficult than the stuff she does in theor

The Kitchen

 Our new apartment will be equipped with toilet and bathroom etc. but not with anything at all in the kitchen. Not even a sink. So we need to purchase a kitchen and engage a kitchen fitter. A friend who knows how to fit kitchens suggested buying an Ikea kitchen. "They're guaranteed twenty years and they honour their guarantee", he said. "I've proved it". Well I don't know any other kitchen laces in France, and I can't imagine there's much that's cheaper than Ikea, so I was happy to accept his advice. So it was that on Monday I booked an appointment with the Ikea Kitchen Planning Service in the centre of Bordeaux. The woman was friendly. "You've already started the process", she said, (have we?) "so that will save us lots of time". "What are you aiming for?" Something not too country, something discreet, something that can adapt to whatever colours we put in the rest of the room. She understood our dislike of
