Not so easy changing a site name though....unless it's one of those free weebly sites, which obviously it isn't

Welcome to the forum Rather intrigued by the name. I googled emas and it came up with European Male Ageing Study

man from emas

Ah The name "man from emas"

Rather simple really thought you would have guessed, emas being our road name of course, its also the Malay word for gold not that I have any ! & many years ago for those of us at that age in the late 1960s there was a very popular film series based on the CIA style called
"Man from UNCLE, at that time many of my friends thought I looked like then Robert Vaughn.

Simple really

{still new here where do you get the smileys from ? }

Yes I'm a bit slow sometimes. Actually, after I'd posted that, someone clued me in, so now I know

When you do a reply to a thread, the smilies are on the right of where you type. Quite a lot of them actually if you click "More". Anyway I'm off for a cheers.

I just found out if you do the quick reply you don't get smileys. Use the 'go advanced' and as BB said lots of smileys

Because the website was primarily set up for British expats. This was when Facebook was a baby, and forums were new. And internet was still taking off. If you venture beyond this rather specific retirement centric sub-forum, you will find the majority of posters are still British by origin on the majority of threads.

Of course, if you don't like it, I'm sure you could set up a replacement mm2h website and forum?

Manx/Irish MM2H'ers? I'm sure that would be popular

I've come across a few Irish MM2H'ers, but as far as I am aware, I'm the only Manx MM2H'er.

Anyway, given the relative similarity of our needs most Western MM2H'ers are pretty much the same once you scrub away the surface differences, in fact more so than their stay-at-home fellow nationals.

OriginalSunshine

Quite. The only clashes I've seen are in the ME forums forae?
That is where Americans start up a thread and then get snotty that people can't answer their tax questions...

I think you get ding-dongs all over the forum. Keeps the long-suffering Mods busy

Hello everyone

I too have migrated from Scott's site, which I contributed to every now and then. Shame to see it go but, life goes on.

Looking forward to seeing what goes on here.

Regards

Now we all have to guess who we were before !

lets hope this section picks up with more contributions like Scott's old site, must admit due to many reasons I've been dormant since joining

What...a bit like reincarnation when you don't remember who you were in a previous life I may have been a papaya in a previous life.....or was it just a dream?

Welcome to the forum whoever you may be.

I wasn't creative enough to change my name from one site to the next!

Just want to say that I really appreciate all of you who posted such good information at the my2home site. It was a factor in me selecting Malaysia and MM2H this year vs other programs and places. You helped a lot.

Pleased to see folks migrating to this forum.

bakedbean

Yes Scott's site was also a big factor in helping us make the decision of getting MM2h. I actually had a rather bizarre introduction to that site. We were living in Thailand at the time and a friend passed on my contact info to a then Moderator of that forum, mistakenly thinking that I knew the guy. I didn't. Friends are great sometimes aren't they . That then resulted in me checking out the site to find out who the hell this guy was who was contacting me. And.....as a result....started re-checking out Malaysia. Life is strange sometimes.
