    Oh yes, ! But taking into account the 7/8 hours' time difference between and the Phils, you'd imagine the numbers online would balance out over any twenty-four hour period, if you get my drift. Although, admittedly ... ... there're far fewer of our regular posters living in the Philippines than in the UK.

    Oh don't I know it, Steve!

    ... which, is WHY, I spend so much time painstakingly trawling the internet for news items in the vain hope of being able to cater for as wide a range of tastes as possible, on a daily basis.

    ... but to be fair, it's easier for the likes of me, being retired.

    Fred ... it isn't that I'm not interested, ... I simply wouldn't understand how to operate such an appliance. We are certainly accustomed to cooking pizzas ... in an ordinary gas oven.

    This has got me thinking , BAD news sells papers, and the say GOOD news no one is interested in.
    Well i do like good news stories and there are a few on here but as some say some threads dont interest me , i have forgot about all the old rules about bringing our partners here and all the new ones well forget it, i dont need to know those,
    I think we all should follow some members by saying at lease something on every thread, like, THATS NICE, I DONT HAVE THE ANSWER BUT SOMEONE WILL BE ALONG SOON, OR AINT THE WEATHER NICE ,

    Well i always browse the headlines of new Topics then read through what seems of interest, i guess Im a relative newbie on the forum, which says a lot about the Forum really. It is difficult to start a Topic and Im not one of the main Topic starters but more of a replier, I would like to say thanks to the Topic starters on this Forum or else we wouldnt be here without them...

    I would like to thank you Arthur, and all those members who provide new topics for discussion each day. Because some of the topics don't get a lot of replies does not mean that others are not interested (or appreciative... though maybe we could say so more often).

    Like Harry, I'm more of a 'replier' ... don't know why... perhaps because after my many years in sales, 'geeing' people up, it's nice to be able to sit back and let others take the lead ?

    Thanks to each of you, in turn, for your respective responses.

    However, this thread was prompted by my sheer disbelief - and GENUINE disappointment - at the general lack of interest in an article I'd come across ... then posted on the forum yesterday morning, for reasons that are self~explanatory:

    http://filipinaroses.com/showthread....is-Personality

    OK ... a few members did ! Yet NONE bothered to acknowledge it. It can be extremely frustrating when folk would seem to prefer answering trivia to replying to IMPORTANT notifications.

    ... once again, does the number of posts per page appear to keep diminishing? ... in spite of the valiant efforts by a faithful few - each of whom is trying exceedingly hard to counteract this trend.

    Now just back in the UK, I connected to Sky Broadband and tried to open the forum. Sky has blocked the forum because it is a "dating" website. So.... unless you change your Sky Broadband settings you will not see the forum anyway.
    If you want your dreams to come true ...... first you have to wake up

    back to Blighty, Steve ... tho', naturally, you'd prefer to be in the Philippines with your loved ones.

    ... so you're saying Sky has blocked the forum? Strange ... because I happened to change over to Sky from 'TalkTalk' last January, and found myself unable to gain access - at first - presumably for the reason you've stated.

    Luckily, I had the foresight to immediately message Keith through facebook - at the time - and the problems I'd been experiencing were duly resolved

    Actually when I am at Harlene's Aunt's house I can't get on here via her aunt's wifi as Sky blocks the site. That's been going on the past couple of years.

    ... GRR! ... THAT, of course, was the fault of the blinkin' pundits at Google - prompting our Site Administrators to make a somewhat radical name change - a while back ... !

    OK, . But NOT ONLY THAT! ... STRINGENT IMMIGRATION RULES implemented by HM Home Office in 2012 have led to a MASSIVE DROP in the numbers of non~European Settlement Visa applicants on lower incomes who [rightly] feel it's a 'lost cause', nowadays.

    I've done it for years albeit not so much lately. Check the video section for confirmation.
