It takes a bit of time to copy and paste and clean them up and I'm running the risk of getting my subscription to The Times getting cancelled, so I won't do any more.

What makes you think that the Mods are lukewarm?
Was there any particular Mod that said you shouldn't post Times articles?

Lukewarm is not the same as should not.
Your post on the Love Island thread.

As someone who has posted hundreds of articles, stories and studies to CEO since its inception, I've learned you are never going to give everyone what they want to read. The truth is, you're actually only ever going to give very few something of interest. But here's the thing; without people contributing to CEO, the forum dies. I'd sooner open CEO to find something than nothing. And if people are complaining they're not happy with the content being provided by others, perhaps those individuals might like to spend an hour or two searching out articles of interest themselves, or perhaps even open a topic for discussion in a thread of their own making.

Be the forum you want.

as i recall our illustrious leader told us, "its our forum"
post what you desire
if someone can post DAILY worthless specials on the 2 restaurants he works for. Why cant you post?

Go for it

It IS your forum. Feel free to post whatever you want so long as it bears some relevance to Cambodian expats.
(American politics gets a bit boring after awhile, but it does have some entertainment value).

Until you break unwritten rules

what about the Thai section?
The asinine section?
rest of the world section?

problem i see over the years is not everyone has the same definition of sarcasm and that is what gets many in trouble
I or another American post something that we mean to be taken sarcastic and someone form the uk, Oz, wherever takes offense and reports the post where an assie or brit mod has the final say


Just having fun, not to be taken serious or ban me for mentioning it

Thank you Roz for your like. I'm pleased this will leave more space for you to promote your CV and gluten-free businesses.

I post a lot more than CVs and gluten free and you know it, you cheeky bugger.
At least the stuff I post is relevant to our life in Cambodia including the live music scene, restaurants and newsy titbits I find.

I just don't see how the subject of vagina hair shaving is relevant on this forum.

I never said you didn't Roz. We all appreciate your input.

It may or may not be relevant to the forum but it has had 950 views and the thread runs to 4 pages.

Actually what interested me about the Love Island article was the point about cosmetic surgery, the media and self-loathing.

Cosmetic surgery is a rapidly growing thing in Cambodia atm.

I cannot comment on bush-shaving. Lack of research data.
