BE is actually a * very * active forum, I am a member of a few different types and there is only one of these that I think can match the activity of this one... and they have 20 mods 'its not an expat type either'.

jdr, I don't envy the task of moderating a forum with this activity, I am sure it is a very time consuming task, but on the '!' icon 'and this is only a suggestion', would it maybe help users actually 'notice it' and so then understand what it's for if it was changed to red?

Keep up the good work.

If I remember correctly our icon used to be in red.

Thanks for highlighting the fact that many do not know about reporting posts. I agree with you about making the button more distinctive to emphasize why it is there. I did report this post and PM'd JDR about it to ask about removing the user name too.

Thanks for your support.

do you know I think you're right!

Did read that post early this morning,but did not have a clue what to do.So for us new ones a good learning curve.I actually do not know how you moderators keep up, so good on you and the more experienced posters.(that almost sounded suggestive oops)
The spell check just stopped me from being more

there you go then....................

Plants are good. What I dislike are Spaniards. Not personally, but what they are- dealing with them for anything is like trying to drink sand.

Every culture has it's ways of doing things and the Spanish have their way just as we have ours, who is to say they are wrong?

The Spanish have known more about life than we British have, they have taken things easy in the 'mañana' way long before we started coming here. They have a great and relaxing way of life, it's one of the things that brought me here all those years ago. After all, why would you want to be rushing around commiting yourself to anything when you can take it easy, suffer no stress and probably live longer for it, there is more to life than many of the people that come here realise, their values are different, their demands are different and the only way to settle here out of a 'expat' enclave is to realise or * discover * this. Lifes not all about getting your home looking like it was in the UK and nice smart cloths and games, 'although it starting to get about paying taxes, lol'.

The Spanish are a race of people that have * laid back * in their genes, what a great way to live when you get up in the morning to tend your campo and stop and chat when you meet someone without worrying what you have to do, this is in their blood.

BTW, getting stressed out with them will probably just make things worse for you 'in more ways than one', you need to take things in the Spanish way, if you want things done faster then you just have to be aware that you need to pay regular visits to remind them about things, but do it with a smile and embrace the culture and you will enjoy it more. Life is about your health and enjoying yourself, I don't like saying this but no tells expats they have to come here.

This is a great country if you can embrace the culture, although the politics might get you in the end but then that's another story. lol

Is it just me or is this post a little.....................

you are being very non-confrontational today

I got exhausted with the Veggie in the Lounge last night.

a veggie?

not 'her' again?

Its looking like it.

It is the Kangaroo thread, you should read it, and you decide if she is the same person.

I just read the first couple of pages of the kangaroo thread, but she hadnt appeared then. Give us a clue on which pages to start looking and I will have another look
