10 years sitting on this forum
 
Been on BE for 10 years this month.

It's been an incredible resource for research and more, I have made some of my best friends here and still see them regularly. The sheer amount of help and advice I received here before, during and after our emigration was unparalleled.

Hopefully some of my witterings have been of some use to a few people in return.

10 years? That's a long time....mind you, I must have done 8 by now as I've been here over 7.

Time flies.

Do you ever wonder what has happened to people like, for example Molly Coddle?

Very nice post Mr Bee. I'm a huge BE fan as well, although I've only been here about 3 years. Having just submitted my UK spouse visa application, I know without any doubt that I would have been a basket case without the help of BE members. :thumbup:

Life gets busy doesn't it.

I've never been a member of any other forums - oh that's a lie I did do a Mum's one when eldest was a baby but that's it isn't it?

Immigration babies grow up and you need less.

Suspect it would be the same if you joined an anorak's forum about some tech wiz gadget - eventually you'd need the forum less as you'd be using your gadget.

Unless it broke, then you'd need to hop on the immigration forum for the best migration agent - sorry gadget expert.

I certainly pop in less now, I like to see what the oldies are up to.

It's 10 years since I joined too (in January I think) but I've no valid info to impart now, no-one needs to know how much John Mason's cost to move a 20ft container in 2006!

Hey, I was thinking of you this week! How did your place survive the storm?

Last heard of in Sydney contemplating a move home, that was in February.

Last heard of in London until they "find/choose where to live". That was also in February.

All the very best to you Molly and family - wherever you ended up. :)

I last heard from them just before they left then. very early February, often wondered whether they had actually gone back, but I thought they would.

Similarly, has anyone heard what happened with BermudaShorts? I beleive she was contemplating a move back but then she dropped out of sight.
