No. I just supply the bananas and toys to the contestants.
You must have seen it - it is more in the news than that Oz is to soon get 15,000 US troops stationed here.
An occupied land.

Have to disappoint, I guess its a quiz show, not my thing at all. Think I would prefer to watch tigers jumping through hoops, adds the the sum of knowing people not the sum of knowledge. Is it on commercial TV?

Big Brother is a frequently drunk guy called Pete.

I think we're off the track of the original question - Why go? My answer - Its now or never. I don't want to sit down in 20 years time and think if only i had tried it. I'm going for the change, for the scenery, the experience, the culture and if I like it I just might stay!

Footie chick we've had the same problem my parents have a four bed house nr Oxford and we have a 2 bed flat in W Scotland, there's only a couple hundred punds difference in our Tax and they get two wheelie bins, recycling collections and other services provided. That's life

It's refreshing to see someone who's taken off the rose-coloured glasses and can still appreciate the positives in several cultures.


Thanks Keelie

I see you are in Canada now. Are you planning to return to Oz ?
