So members if you are there or have been there for how long,

Three years for me Steve....
I think Fred ?
I've been going backwards and forwards there for 25 years, but only 2 x 3 years long stays. The rest 3 weeks to several months.
So after 3 years what had changed for you to come back, and were the three years good?Originally Posted by Longweekend
With the 25 years Graham I think you have a better insight into how its changed. Do you think you may be going back for a very long time sooner than later?
Yes, for the longest continuous period it's Fred ...
After three years of living there my old company offered me a position in Africa, my wife had never travelled outside of the Philippines so we saw it as an opportunity to see more of the world. My time in the PI was good but in the end the way of life and attitude to many things got to me so it was good to move on, going back for holidays is now much more enjoyable...
I think most changes are probably for the better Steve.
The only reason I returned to UK last time was for the kids' education.
Biggest changes are in ease of communication, I'd say.
Yes, I would very much like to return there for long periods, given the right circumstances and continuing good health.
Live no, Holiday a BIG yes.
We have lived here since Christmas 1998. Nearly 17 years?
First visited here when i was 18 or 19 and came back many times over the years. Had i ball every time and then i met the wife
Booze and fags have got more expensive!

Long time ago,its changed massively in that time,places like zamboanga look totally different,huge infrastructure changes,i remember siquijor island had a hard packed dirt road around it,and larena a small wooden pier where the bodies were laid out for families to ID when the larna-dumagete pump boat sank.
Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
... God forbid Michael notices this ...

No,i am sure michael is aware the old pump boats that pre-dated the Larena-dumagute DON MARTIN were scary rides,though i was molested on the siquijor-dumaguete RORO once by a lady with large boobs

O dear, i did not think it was a competition, but hay ho each to there own, PEE AWAYCan anyone join this pissing contest
I think his comment was probably directed at me
Well all i can say is, YOU ARE VERY LUCKY, unless hes got the biggest willy and then you may get a splash or twoI think his comment was probably directed at me
Jealousy, could that get your murdered?
I have noticed Arthur. The pump boats are still operating from Dumaguete to Siquijor and on a calm day it's my favourite choice and very pleasant journey with Dolphins and flying fish almost continually in view, but not recommended in rough waters!

The fact that some people have been daft enough to reside in the Philippines for many years simply does not impress me that much
Everyones input to threads is valued for it's content and I'd like to think we can all respect the views of others, even if we don’t go along with them.
I wonder if during a discussion with a stranger in the street we'd all be polite and respectful enough not to call that person names.
I'd like to think if I did that in the heat of the moment I'd be man enough to apologise.
Reverting to name calling of strangers they are supposed to be having a civilised discussion with is typically an indication of having already lost the argument.
We all have our own reasons for being posting members here.
Most members enjoy the true passion that certain discussions draw from people together with the witty remarks and the often insightful observations made. The same applies to the good humoured taunting that often happens between members.
But there has to be a line, doesn’t there?
So why did you go in the first place can i ask,thats if you did live there, i dont know,The fact that some people have been daft enough to reside in the Philippines for many years simply does not impress me that much
The question was asking who lives there the longest, i dont think many members are here to impress others, most of us have been there, done that and got the tee shirt too, but again its down to each other how we all react
Thanks Peter, also I tried to hint recently about using inappropriate words!
Its what we all think is inappropriate Michael, some words are fun to use, to me the word tw-t is the funniest word ever, it makes me laugh and smile when i hear it said in fun, but others may disagree, some words some people hate, but like many have said before - including myself - if i find something i dont like i just ignore and i do think that if its that bad the Mods would close it down ,
Again, just my own thoughts
