Wink Expats refurbishment

Well, it seems the site is entering a phase of transition. We apparently have a new server and it seems are in need of some new servicers.

Gone are the likes of Badgers, Dotty, Stanton, Podgy
Teetering are Bondipom, Mrs.Dagboy
Is there anything to be read into the recent silence of Polyana, HEVS, HUP, DUP, Ceri ?
Even Megawhatisname is very quiet nowadays.

Is it a case of out with the old and in with the new ?
A natural evolution ?

It's even getting quiet on this side.
Wengerboy and Jack lost to shitty nappies ?
WBB a spent force ?

Who will fill their boots ?
You will - your new country needs you

I'm doing my "strong, silent type" impersonation.

(I'm still lurking around the forum in stealth mode - just nothing being posted at the moment that needs my input.)

Except this....

Boring the pants off me to be honest with you, it's more interesting counting my paper clips ( did you know the metal ones are rubbish!!!.. I've moved over to the coloured plastic ones now) . This forum is taken up with, tourist... lovely, lovely.. I haven't got a clue threads.

They don't want real life , just the Oz has big "ouses, beach and sun ( and if they believe that.. they will believe anything) ... I knew I should have got that party up and running for the coming elections.. people love to be brainwashed.

It is what makes this country so great

Seems the mal-adapted have racked off at last and the adapting have adapted so the need to screech and squark has passed.

Raising the points bar, reducing the exchange rate and increasing housing prices have had an effect on the squeal quotient too.

That reminds me... I must take a look at the "Take It Outside" forum, and see who's sticking the boot into whom....

Don't bother... it's very boring in there.. yanks kicking yanks, brits who think they are yanks kicking other brits who think they are yanks.... it's very weird. Brit's who think they are Aussies and have not left Britain.And for gawd sake don't mention religion... It's very odd. Too weird for me for a person who does not get their knickers in a twist... The secret to not getting you knickers in a twist is to find a decent pair of knickers, which don't ride up your crack

Just went in and had a mooch around. You're right.

This canadian forum bloke who shall remain nameless (and who posts on this forum, too, as he's threatening to emigrate to Oz, it seems) seems to be getting several of the other posters in a tizz.

Just ignore the plonker. Maybe he'll get fed up and go away. He's only doing it to get attention. Stop feeding his ego.

(Watch him jump on this thread, now! )

Yes, it's very sad... luckily this thread proves most are still alive!

Ah well, that's life I guess, there's lots of newbies...
