Great! It will go slowly, but I'm sure we can revive the forum! _________________ Toe ek jonk was, het ek al die antwoorde geken. Nou verstaan ek nie eens die vrae nie.
Hello there! I am also back - and I hope for good. I think that it is possible to resurrect it as long as we have a dedicated core of around 10 members who pop in on a frequent basis to have intimate and cozy tete-a-tetes about virtually anything which springs to mind.
I know it sounds rich coming from me as I have been absent for so long. I realised that visiting a forum is very much a habit that can be easily developed or lost. I do hope to inculcate such a habit again. _________________ Hillary Clinton is an acquired taste which I have clearly yet to acquire.

Hi Loic, nice to see you!
I think everyone needs such a period of "fasting" in terms of internet forums. That has done very good to me and I'll be glad to be active again.
I received a mail about reviving the forum so trying to make one or two posts each week.
Would be good if we had a Collects Corner where we could talk about Collecting Hobbies and offer exchanges,

Well, we didn't want to suffer the dreaded South African Wrath, dude!
Chocolate wrappers?
Let's see, things I have collected:
Plastic animals. The weirder the better. Okapis, pangolins, meerkats, Cape hunting dogs. Safari makes the best ones.
Plastic mythical creatures. i have a kickass rhino warrior on my desk at work. And a minotaur, griffin, and some other fanciful critters. I also have a small collection of dragons there as well, which a coworker seems to feel i SHOULD be collecting, because she keeps buying me more of them. They appear mysteriously on my desk, at any rate. Including a Christmas dragon dressed as Santa.
Breyer horses. What can I say? i can't afford the Peter Stone and North Light ones. And it helps to have 3D models to draw from.
Coins. I went on a little spree when I was in Europe right before the Euro got rolled out. After all, it was the last time I was going to be able to get my hands on francs, marks, etc. I keep around a few of the new US quarters, too -- but only from the states I like. And I still have some yen and maybe a won or two from back when I was a kid. I attribute this particular passion to the poker scene in The House With a Clock In Its Wall, a favorite book of mine from childhood.
Pets. Just kidding! I do have 5 dogs, 2 snakes, and a hamster. But I'm doing better since I stopped working at that vet clinic!
Books. Especially well-illustrated children's books. Pity they don't illustrate adult reading more. And I hate a boring cover. i WILL judge a book by its cover. And I hate it when they redesign different editions of the same book. _________________ An apple a day....

And I was looking forward to coming to New Mexico to fetch you... _________________ Toe ek jonk was, het ek al die antwoorde geken. Nou verstaan ek nie eens die vrae nie.

Just noticed that you lived in PE! Lovely place, except for the wind! I usually spend Christmas at Jeffreys Bay, which is close to PE. _________________ Toe ek jonk was, het ek al die antwoorde geken. Nou verstaan ek nie eens die vrae nie.
Now rented monthly, but it is a little income towards my retirement and I would be happy to come back and live there again.
If I can find time to find the visa requirements for my Ukrainian wife, perhaps we would visit for a few months. That would be great! _________________ Englishman living and working in Ukraine for English Russian Language TV spent 8 years living in Post Elizabeth, South Africa and loved it!

You could make a lot of money renting out the house during the World Cup next year. PE is one of the cities hosting games. What did you do in South Africa? _________________ Toe ek jonk was, het ek al die antwoorde geken. Nou verstaan ek nie eens die vrae nie.
The rental is from a couple of retired Brits, so can not kick them out for a few extra pennies at the time of the World Cup.
I worked for English Language radio in South Africa. Now I working in TV in Ukraine. I feature in a number of programmes on a Language Learning TV Chanel and also on a regular Chanel. Great fun. The shows are as a rule only ten minutes long both in Russian and English.
Anyone who wants a laugh, send me your email and I will send you one of the shows as a video attachment. Yes. The girl I present with is young and pretty, and I am not
