Can we just get one thing straight on here Miki i find it hard to believe you have a GCE but if you say so it must be true, I am not on here just to bump up my posting numbers like most of you who have replied to the original posting by Dan,I am also not desperate for other expats company, I am very happy in the place I chose to live in France I just thought that Dans idea of a get together once in a while with other young expats & there family's would be quiet nice,obviously this rather simple question has now turned into a mass debate by a lot mass debators about everything but the original question asked,I have only just joined this forum & from what I have seen so far this is a forum for people who want to increase there posting numbers rather than have any decent input into a conversation,so the question has to be asked who is the sad one? you sitting on  here all day long going up the ranks or people who want to meet other people & broaden there social life.so please if you haven't got anything decent to say don't say it, leave the space for someone who might.[:D]

A night out in Parthenay might not be your cup of tea Miki but it will probably be better then sitting in with you & your pc all day making useless & unconstructive comments about a topic you have obviously no interest in. You obviously fall into the category Dan is trying not to entertain so why don't you find another topic to pull apart or perhaps start a relevant thread of your own. Love Dave

Hi Dan - bloody good idea. After a long old winter, a damn good night out down the pub is just what I need I live near Parthenay - I'll email you to organise something for this Friday By the way - what the F*** is everyone else drivelling on about. I thought your posting was pretty obvious i.e. organise a night out down the pub in Parthenay, so what the hell that has to do with stuffed kittens god only knows!!! Think you're right about old people not being all the ticket! Anyway, see you down the pub Friday and we can put the world (and this forum) to rights Cheers [B]

This box also allows you to do this which i thought was quiet a good idea as it does not tie up your home number. Dave

Hi There I have found this forum to be very informative in the past but have never added a post so for what its worth here goes the first. I have found one of the most expensive bills since leaving the UK I have is my phone, there has been a lot of press lately for a company called Skype which uses your internet connection to make free phone calls you just have to have a headset for your pc which is ok but you are tied to your pc, for those of you who already use the headset  there is an alternative, a box which simply just plugs in to your existing cordless phone and utilises that so you have the same freedom as a normal phone but using the internet to make the call, I have been using one of these boxes for a while now with no problems it was also very easy to install (which makes a change), the company who supplied me with the Skype box was www.ExpatComputerSupplies.Com. I hope this has been of some interest to you. Dave
