i wasnt speaking scientifically-and hardly anyone lives in the outback-but the few that do can be quite interesting people.

Interesting. I certainly don't think Australians are more evolved lol. What I will say is though, that a lot of, not most, do have social and life skills that would be the pride of many a UK parent. You can see it in some of the kids. I used to see it in a very distinct mob of people back in the UK, where I live now its very much par for the course.

I am probably lucky to live in a nice area, but there is no doubt that there is a lot of talented, but also effing nice people around here.

cheers

Does the cat fall in half when you slice it with the red dot?

If not, I'll keep the sword.

Best we call a truce on the other stuff.

I am sure if the OP came on and said just spent 2 weeks in Adelaide and hated it...just didnt find anything that interested me at all and dont think I will move there now and I suggest people come out and visit before spending all of their hard earned on applying for a visa....

I am SURE people would have reacted very differently!! They might have suggested trying somewhere else in Oz or at least been a little more constructive. If they hadnt, we would not be having this discussion right now
