Just had a message from Caz on Ex Pats site, she still cannot access this site. Not seen Chris here lately, is she still have problems getting in too??
-
Caz can't gerrin nah!! Cumon, get this friggin site sorted aht!
I had a major error appear yesterday too, so the site or it's server has serious problems.
-
Three times this morning I got an error message, "Site could not be found" Then left it half an hour and am here.
Looks like Mick has some problems..
happens many times being on NTL.. a quick change of server usually sorts the prob.
My server is the University of Missouri..

I've had my first problem getting into the site, I've been getting access refused! First time I've had any problems getting into Nottstalgia.

Just look at the size of their hands, I've seen miners with smaller petite hands, wonder if they are blokes under all that black garb.
-
Hmmmmm Den, without precise directions, you'd never find my house.
-
Is this any better? Don't forget ayup what I said some time ago , I may just show up on your door step one day....
You MUST leave that Blue Stilton alone Den, it's doing summat nasty to you..
-
Thats still Arkansas Den, you been boozing again
BUT, if you look to the top right, you will see a town called Mammoth Spring, thats where the wife has her Real Estate business, and we are due north of there.
NOW find a map of southern Missouri showing the state line.
When you do, look for Thayer, then just coming out of Thayer will be hwy 19 heading east to Alton, from the little town of Alton, 163 east for 10 miles and you will see on a good map, state road FF going north, I'm up there a couple of miles.
-
I'm not on that map Den, thats Arkansas
-
Sounds nice Ayups - where are you?
I'm in the Ozark Mountains Frank, south central Missouri just a few miles north of the Arkansas State line.

I now Caz been on meduk....
Heard on the radio today and this is official more People are leaving these shores to settle in foriegn climes than ever before...I wonder why? !
! Den, I left for a new life after my first marriage failed.
Would I come back???? Never, I could never afford to live in the UK now. Housing and land prices are way beyond my means. Living costs are way beyond my means, Weather's lousy, beers too warm, everyone living in each others backyards..ie too crowded housing.
Also too much government intrusion into your day to day lives.
We pay $54 a year land taxes, which when the house is finished, will probably go up to $350 a year. Not bad for 80 acres of land! My electric is half what you pay, my propane is way cheaper than your gas. My water costs me the pumping costs and doesn't have chlorine or flouride in it. My food is cheaper, my beer is cheaper, I can buy my Scotch at Xmas half price of yours and the same brand. My truck only costs about 30 bucks a year to register, no MOT's either. My gasoline is one third what you pay. I could go on and on..... Less crime.... I don't need some shiny arsed beaurocrat to tell me where and how I can build on my own land either, and they don't!
It's not quite heaven, but a lot closer than the UK is...

Nice site - that JOHN47 seems to be popular
can anyone who is intending to be an ex-pat soon post? and join in the active discussions?
Meduks
Feel free Frank, where you escaping to?? Soon??
-
Is it just me or are these two on another planet, anyroadup as long as they stay on their plant I will stay on mine...as anybody seen Ilko?
It's not me Den, that Mick again talking of sqelching me...LOL
Mick, I can purchase time off my host, he sells site space as well as hosts free sites so no problem mate, I am transferring files from the old Proboard site to that one, long process as the two sites are different set ups.
-
Ahhh PHBB eh?
Nice
Now get yerself a decent domain name and hosting before you get busy.
Can you back up your SQL database on that system?
I think you said something similar Mick, when I first started the Proboards one. We did get over 70 members, but not many posted. I moved to a phpbb because of poor security on Proboards, also far better format.
I know if I do eventually get the traffic, I will have to buy host space, these free hostings don't like too much bandwidth used up....

Another forum I started with ex pats in mind, it's an open forum.
-
Coal, Collieries and Mining..Coal, Collieries and Mining.
It's a mining forum I run for those interested in adding their two cents worth!
-
I'm going to throw caution to the wind.... I've never broken a finger, ribs, a toe and had my nose broken by a drunk Scotsman in Market Square one night many moons ago.
Now, I'll be going out to do some mowing later, and you can bet I'll get off the tractor, slip and break a finger.

Most pubs I went in Den, and that covers clubs too, had a sign saying "Our beer is served at 5C"
One of the big digs over there is the warm Pommie beer!
When you buy a beer down under Den, the law in every state states you have to have a clean glass each fillup. You are not allowed to use the same glass without it being washed!
The clean glasses are kept in a large glass fronted freezer, when they get a glass out, it's frosts up! Then the cold 5C beer is poured into it!
BTW, you can ask for a jug of beer of you want! Same as here, saves keep getting up and going for refills. BUT then who wants their beer to get warm as Pommie beer, Nahhh I'll drink mine in Midi's, don't last long anyway, cold to the last drop B)
-
Want to keep coming back Den??? Now you have got to be joking
Been back once way back in the early 90's, I don't think I will be back again Den, once were enough, best part of trip was when I was looking out of the plane window at Heathrow as it was taxying down the runway !rotfl!
Sorry Den, can get all the Brit beer I want over here
-
They drink in half pints so as it doesn't get warm. Oz beer is served in ice cold glasses at about 36F.
That size in NSW is called a Midi, if you wanted a pint, always ask for a Schooner!
-
Oi! I took the Liguphone course in Aussie Strine before they let me in that great Island continent, had to pass 2000 questions or no visa!
Pommie bastard...as in "howya goin yer Pommie Bastard?" Now then mate, how's things with you.
Poofter as in "Bloody Pommie Poofter" Queer *@.
Hope that helps Den

This made me chuckle....I sat down and put my feet up to watch a hired movie the other night, I know what you are thinking, dennis staying in well not really I was asked by my daughter if I would like to go over to theirs for my tea and so I did.
After I had finished stuffing myself silly with free sausage, stake, lamb burgers and BBQ chicken we all settled down to watch a film, the main menu came up and one of the choices was language, basically you have to choose the language you want before you can play the film, anyroadup there was over thirty languages to chose from and one of them was Australian.....Now is it just me but don't the aussies speak broken English? should it have said Aboriginal? that I can understand....
Stone the bloody crows yer old galah, they bloody speak the queens english! Bloody oath yer old pommie bastard, nah sit dahn and listen, I spent ten years in the colonies and never once did I 'ave eny trubel understanding 'em! I ate their snags, had sangers fer me crib, even 'ad loads of coldies mate. Even camped near a billabong when I went camping!
Bloody old galah, saying they don't speak the queens! Caz will have summat to say to yooze when she gets on, bloody oath she will!!

Only been back once in 27 years Den to see my late Mum and Dad one more time before they passed on. More chance now of finding a hen with teeth than seeing me in Blighty!
So rule me out of "coming back"
