1. Do you want to go and live in oz?
2. Have you ever lived in oz?
3. And if you would not touch the article with a bargepole why did you bother asking the first question "Is this going to be a serious article"?
4. Why did you bother saying you did not like there rant, as they did say its either 'peeing down or you have to pay over the odds to do somthing, no beach or lake, summer lasts a fortnight at best' Please tell me what that rant is about because to me that sounds realistic?
Awaiting in anticipation!

Do you have to dislike the UK to live in Australia?
Does it never rain in Australia?
Do you never pay 'over the odds' for things in Australia?
This stuff is not realistic.

Don't they have those in Australia?

Re: press request
Are you both sitting next to one another with different names, aahhh. Anyway, I was only trying to suggest why the guy might say you were a snob, sorry for trying to help you with that. May I suggest you wait until he comes online then and he can explain it a bit better.
My point no.4 did not say anything about 'paedophiles'. Off course I did not agree with that statement, but I get the jist of they guys point.

Don't take this the wrong way but maybe you should just stick to living in UK and not bother with oz.

Re: press request
You obviously are not good at "Interpreting what people are saying" because that's what you have been doing;asking me to explain everything. You must live near a loony house! Or I have hit a button which you don't like getting touched. Anyways, this guy posted a question on this thread about a 'press request' get off it because you are are not interested in it anyway.
