frexpt Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 I appreciate that I have not looked in here for a while, but this forum is like a ghost town. It's widely accepted that forums have suffered at the expense of other forms of social media so far as attracting younger members are concerned, but this forum always had a mostly grey presence. Where has everybody gone ? Is there a splinter group set up elsewhere ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we will all be fighting each other. You know like in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lori Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 It's a very quiet place. I don't know where all the old timers have gone, but they have gone. Why ? I think there are likely many reasons and they are not here to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherbanana Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 And there has been the Olympics which took a lot of time, and the garden, and the BBC’s Turkish Detective series, and walks in the woods and long slow drinks in the shaded café terrace, and a trip to London ( in my case) and the family descent from Belgium……. need one go on. Actually, there is quite a bit of information being requested and advice given and decent comments. I guess as Autumn arrives the usual level or rapier like wit will reengage as members wake from their summer slumbers and exchange intellectual opinions about the state of France, the French State, Mr Macron, taxes, the French health system and Norman’s piles!

NormanH Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 That Wooly dare mention my piles Makes the rest of you break out in SMILES we know his banana is smaller by farther not even by metres! BY MILES 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Petomane Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Norman's post about Wooly's banana is probably libellous. To prove it was not a libel, he would have to prove it was true....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where has everybody gone ? Is there a splinter group set up elsewhere ? It seems to me that you have provided your own answer. How long is it since you last posted on here? What was the post about? Was it, by any chance, for posing a question to which you needed an answer? There you have it! Some people only come here once in a blue moon to seek solutions and, once they have obtained the information or advice they need, they disappear again and will only be back when they have something else to ask about. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveLister Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 I'll have you know that, as someone who religiously has a banana for breakfast, you've all made me lose my appetite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherbanana Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Does that mean you pray over your banana, it blesses you or does ‘having’ mean so much more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
