    Owen Wilson?  A rum cove - never trust a man with two surnames. I bet he’s in it up to his neck!

    Adblock Plus is free here and I don't see why France would be different from the UK.  It's working fine for me.  Maybe one or two ads appear a month but are quickly despatched.

    I find Owen Wilson very creepy.

    I just googled him. He doesn't appeal.  A cross between Johnson and Rod Stewart with a bit of Phil Tuffnel thrown in for good measure.

    @Yviestevie google the ceo of the company and send them an email. I had issues with DFS and after I did that they couldn’t do enough for me. I even got a hamper of goodies.

    That approach can often be extremely effective.  I was being given the brush off by my local Nissan dealership and the Nissan Customer Service Helpline wasn't any better.  I emailed the chief exec, had a call back from one of his assistants the same day to clarify the situation, then a call the following day from the Service Manager at the dealership with a grovelling apology for supposed 'misunderstanding'.  I've had exceptional service ever since and all the service reception staff seem to know me by name even when I call in without the car.

    It’s not the looks as much as the voice ... and the delivery ... 🙄 but given that I’ve also had a hankering for other folk that’s bewildered my friends ... it just confirms that there’s no accounting for (my) taste 😂

    Bracyschome: I'm totally pssssd off with them. I've been nurturing the little bleeeees for months and they've done nothing all but take up space. Now I find they're bxxxdy annuals😠
    I'm going to stamp on them before they go on the compost heap😡

    I thought they were tender perennials (so usually treated as annuals unless you have somewhere to overwinter them). Could be wrong though.
