Gluestick Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Double Standards?Now this is interesting! This morning an email arrived in my inbox from a certain forum site, which states as follows:Featured Advertiser From...........( A certain Site)- · Sky-TV.fr · - <http:.....................Receive English TV and Radio in your home - including all BBC and ITV Channels. Sky television without subscription installed throughout Brittany. Full after sales service. Satellite installer since 1987. Best pricesSince we know that to receive Sky in France is an offence and since the certain site regularly deletes posts telling members how do do it, seems as if all provided that it creates advertising revenue for them, then suddenly it's quite OK!Hmmmmmmmmmm[8-)][8-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I hope so Gay [:D]. Although I don't personally like his pickles, there's a lot I could do with 120lb of raw Virgin (hope that doesn't breach the code of conduct).Seriously, the various AI forums do seem to be an embodiment of the worst aspects of co-called 'expat communities' that many people away from home are attracted to but without wanting to feel snobbish - though I'm sure that's exactly how it comes across - I just want to run a mile from. And we have a fair few of them in Normandy, believe me. I suppose I am fortunate in being able to spend time at our maison secondiare in England as well as in France. Not to mention the chance to regularly visit Waitrose, Tesco, Sainsburys etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Smith Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I thought that emboyment meant returning him to a boy-like state, which knowing Will is pretty much a done deed - all enthusiastic like he is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[;)]By the way, I understand that the horse has been found.[/quote]Well I think we should all offer our thanks to Will for his previoustime in helping to moderate L.F, which is not an easy thing to do,especially in more recent days !!We may not have always agreed Will but we did agree more, than not andI for one, offer you my thanks in what is often, a thanklesstask. I can't understand anyone who thinks that moderators arenot required on a forum as big and so varied as L.F. I wouldn't wantthe job myself but pay homage to those that do. Well, there you go, mythoughts on mods and, Will in particular at this moment.Remind me of the horse Will, please ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 MikiThaks for the kind words, didn't realise there was a mutual admiration society here, as well as at TF. If I was a Chelsea supporter then maybe we could agree 100%.The lost horse first appeared here in Ron Avery's quote from AI at the bottom of page 5 of this topic, was quaoted again by Norman on p6. It made its first appearance on the AngloInfo Normandy forum and popped up at Total France, so it got around a bit before finally being rounded up.
