I am just seeing if this post shows up in "Recent Posts".

It just seems strange that it is 10:10am and there aren't any new posts today.

I think the number of posts have reduced recently, and this is probably due to the time of year and the current economic conditions. I personally find that using the forum is a welcome distraction to the mass of negative news we are currently getting.

I see what you mean Phil.

If a guest logs in and sees posts in the "Recent" box about Phil's liver they could be put off going any further. But, if they saw the normal "holiday" type posts they may continue to read and then write a reply themselves.

The other side of this is that this forum doubles up as a social site for many of us, and we do need the "Phil's Liver" type post's, to make us smile during the miserable winter months.

Maybe we need two "Recent Posts" boxes, one marked as "Sensible" and the other something like "Light Relief".  

Lastly we could all give reasons why we think the number of posts have reduced. I know I have been less active due to additional projects at work and also because I have less free time at home.

I have to report that we have a little problem with our camera here.
It seems like the Zoom facility only works, when in the mood. Most pics comeout very blurred.

A pain in the bum when we take pics of the snow on the Albanian mountains and the Arillas high st etc. - I think we need a new camera but it won't be until December, when it comes from the UK.
I will keep trying though.

Meanwhile - Here's one for Bex who was asking about Kostas on the Beach.


Poor ole Wegg looks to be coming down with my "lurghi" - I'm getting better and although I offered to cook tonight, she won't let me.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH SAUSAGE , EGG , & CHIPS.?
( I even said I'd make the Birds Trifle that's been in the cupboard for 6 months! )

Cheers All
Negg

Thanks for the pic.

When was it taken as it looks the same as it did when I left in 2005!!!
