Re: In To-day's Newspapers
Hands up, banged to rights, guilty as accused?
No, I think not. The article we have been bandying about was in todays newspapers (in Wales.... nowhere does anything say in Goa) and it made a couple of us laugh so much we thought we would share it. There are some aspects of the article that could be considered offensive, but; Did you hear about the Irish EXORCISM? The mother had to call the devil in to get the priest out of her son. after all this is supposed to be a useful knowledge for expats abroad after all.[ Someone said; Its more quiet than a Candolim beach on this site at the moment, is the low rupee keeing everyone indoors or is everyone in the queue at FEMA or Registry office or in limbo on 2 months out of India... All quotes, with thanks to........yes, Tarkacreek |

There are some aspects of the article that could be considered offensive, but; There are times when things do go off topic, but I think cliquey (from the French, clique.....not click or clicky) is a bit strong....a lot of us have known each other for years. After a couple of months membership and a handful of posts that seems a bit judgemental. And where did you get the idea that; This is an internet discussion forum, not an official Goa database, and whilst it generally offers useful info, general discussion and humour are not prohibited, are they? Someone said; so there maybe occasions when some of us post things that dont meet your definition of "Relevant" but at least keep the forum alive, Look at some of the other forums, they are dead. All quotes, with thanks to........yes, Tarkacreek This ain't in todays paper either:p GC:rofl::rofl: |
Re: In To-day's Newspapers
Well as you are in Goa full term no probs, last entry nearer the mark, and if you ever get news on the visa rules, well the sooner the better, as of now no news is bad news.

Take care of J5. H. |

I keep opening posts presuming it is gonna be useful info, only to find a small group (always the same ones) having a little irrelevant chit chat between themselves. Complete waste of my time, and to make it worse the mod is one of the major players. Even though a Gossip n Chit Chat topic was made available at her suggestion, she still doesnt conform to her own rules. I give up ! In my opinion the majority on here have formed a clique, making it very difficult for newbies to even contemplate joining in. I don't contribute often these days because if you don't feel part of the 'club' then you feel very reluctant to join in. Also most talk is so lightweight and so very much 'off topic'. I used to contribute more so (never massively, but more comfortably) in the Douglas days and he was really scarey, but at least gave useful info. This site used to be a great source of up to date info. I am not in the least interested in anyones drinking/socialising habits (yawn yawn)...keep that to the social networks. At the moment BE Goa forum is no better than ******* Goan advocates, ie. a pile of ***** :D Rant over :) Enjoy yourselves, pick holes in what i've said...whatever !!.. not really bovvered !
