Re: The Broken Australian Dream
Just a bit off the subject... but what has happened to "onlyme" .. the original thread says started by him.. this is an old thread.
I'm just wondering what has happened to him, an old poster here.
Last time he was on here he was applying for PR within Aus I see to recall.
Just a bolt from the past.. and was wondering where he is now.
P. S You'll notice the first replies are 2002 (including my own) .. the original poster was OnlyMe.... just wondering where He is now..

Well, he's only posted twice in 12 months, but considering the way he was whinging maybe that's a blessing?

Hi Mrs Dagboy - yes 4500 per child per year - and yes we still had to pay all the extra costs for books etc on top. The private schools we checked out were around the 9K+ per annum and that was basic. There are relgious affliated schools like the catholic associated ones that are more reasonable but that would not be our choice and in some cases not necessarily better schooling than the state schools we have chosen.
I might be the wrong state - agree, Sydney can get you down with constant paying out including house prices and therefore mortgages. On the plus side incomes are on average higher and more plentiful especially in the IT field I am in. I am a city girl at heart.
Cheers

True.. I was wondering about that "whinging" post.
Onlyme was one of the old posters, and to my knowledge posted some great stuff here.
I'm nosy too

I notice from your reply to the flanno thread that you are getting hostile to me which is fine. At least try to do so with some of the finesse and humour of Ceri.
