EK Forum quieter than Kalkan itself!

[felicity]

Hear hear - BL - I''m with you - you have expressed my sentiments completely - and we''ll be the stalwarts through the dim dark long winter this year as last... 

Cheers!

[Lorretta]

Me too!

[yoyo]

I don''t post too often, but I do like to read the light hearted banter on here.  I''ve been off work since last week on "risk of redundancy" leave and am about to get ready to go in for a meeting to see whether I''ve got the "suitable alternative" or not.   Reading the posts on here have kept my mind off it (a bit).

[Blue Lizard]

Good luck to you ....chin up what ever happens ,

[Blue Lizard]

i have been called bananas...on more than one occasion and worse on lots of occasions...but i''m a happy chappie!!   i also have a turkish buddy called musa.....he''s bananas as well...several of my chums in kalkan are bananas and when we are out we are a bunch of bananas

Hello

I will still be reading throughout the winter and trying to chip in when I can.  I see this forum as my daily Kalkan fix and it helps me to count down until we can go to our other ''home'' again.

For any Bury black pudding fans,you can order them on line from www.Bury black pudding company.co.uk
Did you know bury has a world pudding throwing competition,entrants come from all over the world to take
part its a great day out and is held in Ramsbottom (calm down mr lizard) the street is blocked off and food sold,rock bands play all day,pudding and a pint, you cant beat it !

May I suggest a new parent board for those who don`t like the Desert Island Disc / x-factor type threads?

Strictly Enjoy Kalkan

Sainsbury''s sells Bury Black Pudding Company pudding!!!!

[fidimax]

Hi RosiB,yes they supply a lot of the major chains,but you cant beat buying one on the market and eating
it out of the paper with English mustard .

The beauty of this forum is you can pick and choose what you want to look at - if x-factor, strictly, the apprentice, black pudding etc are not your bag stay away from the "Everything Else" as it does what is says on the tin  

Like others, this is my Kalkan fix - cheaper than The Priory I continued to log on and post through the winter last year, and will do so this year because it''s my therapy..thank you all for being there. I love the light-hearted posts, bit of humour and leg pulling but I do understand how posts can be misinterpreted and what was actually meant as funny, wry comments can be seen as offensive.

Yoyo, I''m so sorry to hear about your situation - that puts things into perspective for all of us. These are worrying times for everyone. My BH works for General Motors Europe, so unless the US government bails out the car industry we will be cancelling Christmas...and may even be offering 4 flights on here for next June/July. My heart goes out to you and anyone else in your predicament.

Ps On a lighter note...how do bananas make you fat??? I''ve never seen an obese monkey

[Pete]

We''ve got one running the country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Blue Lizard]

Bananas make you fat if you don''t peel them before you eat them!!

[yelkenite]

Fidi,  yes Rosib does a beautiful fry-up on a Saturday morning with the Bury black pudding. We have ours delivered.  Could never get involved in the Colemans though, I''m just a wuss;  now French''s mustard.... now you''re talking.  I''ll try it with it this Saturday.  Please dont call me a phillistine though!  lol 

[kalkan4eva]

  Pete, you made me larf out loud...and I like Gordon!

NB apologies if any obese monkeys are reading this thread, I didn''t mean to offend

As we all know, you cannot please everyone all the time but we can at least try to please most of the people most of the time.
The Forum is quiet at this time of the year as Kalkan is, in the main, a summer holiday resort. That was one of the reasons why the "Everything Else Section" was started, so EK members could still chat and discuss" topics and other things that are not directly related to Kalkan and keep in touch with friends made on the site. You only have to look at the "hits" some of the threads in this section have had, to see that it contains some of our most popular topics.

I find it heartening to read that more places are staying open over the Autumn/Winter/Spring months and if this is an indication of more people staying in Kalkan during this period, then hopefully the "Kalkan" Threads will start to receive more posts.

I know I spent a lot of cold wintery nights last year having a giggle at the "Hall''o''ween, Victor Meldrew and some of the other threads and they really helped to keep me going until my Kalkan holiday.

If the current threads are not to your taste, please feel free to start one. We have a large membership now and I am sure there will be others who would appreciate different subjects and topics.

I, personally, enjoy the fun and perhaps trivial topics, I enjoy reading the Desert Island Thread but I also want to know more about how the residents spend their time in Winter and what activities/events are going on.
 
What I am trying to say is this forum is what the members make it and so please continue to log on, join in and help to improve it
Cheers

I havent left EK either I read it at least once a day, but at present have nothing to add, and like Jon I am planning a wedding. My daughter gets married at Christmas and the Hen Weekend this weekend wish it was in Kalkan but never mind. I am going to be a mother in law yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

[Reygirl]

I''m sure there are many of still out here taking a keen interest but I take the same view as Kalkanfan - am happy to post and continue discussion on Kalkan-related matters but am not inclined to join in the other less relevant stuff.
