Re: Duck Hunters
OK, your original comment wasn't particularly clear in terms of what you meant - of course hunting and drinking don't mix at all.

Re: "Australia's 10 best paid jobs" article

Re: Panic
Only one solution to this and it is benzodiazepines (Valium, Xanax, Diazempam etc)
Propanolol really only addresses the symptoms (heart racing), not the anxiety itself.

Re: Ethnic Minority predjuice ?
It is, and I actually think there is probably more racism brought to Australia by these cultures and minority groups. The average white Aussie is not racist, reserved and used to their own culture...

Re: What to ship/costs more in oz
I was shocked at the quality in Fantastic Furniture, cheap by Australian standards but not by UK ok ones. Rubbish design and build quality.

Re: Unlimited budget Melbourne move
The nicest suburbs I would consider would be out of the following
Albert Park
Middle Park
Toorak
South Yarra
Armadale
There are a few of the top private schools around these areas too.
