The UK is a member of the EU and you may live and work in any of these countries so move , you dream of Utopian Australia dream on.
Percentage wise Australia's Muslim poplution nearly equals that in the UK and Australia has the worlds biggest Muslim country on its door step , 160 races live in Australia and Poms are not the only race coming to this land infact Poms are being scaled down to make room for more Asians as Australia sees its future in China not Europe.

Fair go...a bit harsh...you can live in Albury and work in Wodonga. Or for the adventurous soul, you can live in Wodonga and work in Albury.

As far as I recall, you popped up to have a poke at me and I replied (I have never heard of you before) so as for your "agressive tone towards me" comment - if you do not want me to reply to you, do not post to me. Re-read your original post. You like to have a pop but then moan about a reply that reads to me as being lighter in tone than your own. I have taken a fatherly tone with this to spare your feelings, but it seems to me that you are not ready for Oz if you are this offended by me and my manner. I will keep from returning your insults - you do not seem up to receiving them.

I have always been one of life's workers and do not need your advice, Mike. You are sadly deluded about Oz and I detect in your posts a fervour to get out of the UK that seems desperate - this is setting yourself up for a big disappointment when you see that you have left a better country behind. Change your mind and stick with the UK. Work hard at making it a better place to live instead of writing it off.

Good luck.

"The last word goes to a mate of mine who lives in Brisbane-Port talbot born,Chepstow educated but moved to Oz in 1989,on his own-hes a success story-worked hard and got a great life-ask him about Oz and he says quite simply"WHO WOULD WANT TO LIVE ANYWHERE ELSE"-hes embraced Oz,has become a citizen and even shouts for Australia when they are playing his beloved Wales-perhaps thats the secret-embrace Oz,become an Ozzie!"


What drivel!

I'm Welsh - born and bred. No true welshperson ever shouts for the Wallabies - I'm also In Brisbane.



can I insult?
for a start I see no racisms in that sentence Wilf wrote "I need no advice from welshmen who reject their homeland and play at being an ozzie"

and in fact I agree with the sentence and I'm Welsh.

No 2 - I have a welsh friend here who's been here 30 years and will not take out citizenship.

So being a welsh person you can add me to the list of not liking Aus and no intention of taking out citizenship (I've been here 6 years) - you can also add my friend to that list who's been here 30 years - he will not take citizenship out , he is still Pr even after all of these years.

So don't count your friend who was born (but not bred) in fume filled Port Talbot as representing, talking for all welsh people - he can talk for himself maybe , because he is certainly not representing me or any of my Welsh friends- thank you very much ! I talk for myself - and I see no racism in Wilfs statement.

P.S anywhere is better than living in P.Talbot - not a place I'd like to live myself

The way they are going they'll be lucky to get out of their group into the quarters in the world cup - it only takes Ireland to beat them (not impossible) - and maybe a total upset of Argentina as well (anything can happen).

It's a long way to the top - but a short ride down to the bottom ... Ask Wales .

cheers

The form is on for an England v All Blacks final ,wish Wales the best but they have as much chance as the Aussies right now very little.
The All Blacks have to be odds on , the performance at the weekend was out of this world , I could not help ripping the pee out of the sad Aussies watching it with me .

You want something completely different, go to rural france. Or Latin America. Or Scandinavia. The English speaking world all carries the stars and stripes stamp. Be warned, find a different dream to chase. So many brits come back from other parts of the world. We know why. You can take an englishman out of england, but you can't...
One trip to Australia and already you are backing up my posts , travel opens up the mind.

This post has degenerated (along with many others) into a commentary far removed from the original query - what was a general query about moving to Australia has now become a discussion on the Welsh, the rugby score at the weekend, crime in the UK and Australia, and I dare say much more by way of a personal slanging match as people seek to assert their opinions on others, which quite honestly are simply a repeat of much I have read before.

This hi-jacking of posts is tedious, unnecessary, and quite frankly it would be good if the Administrator would allow us a month or two without postings from certain people so that we can get back to the original generally helpful nature of this Forum that existed before certain unnamed individuals decided to amuse themselves by spending their daylight hours antagonising people on this forum.

Best regards.

Cymru am byth

Thank you, Ceri. You understood exactly what I was saying.

I would say the same sentence about any nation or people. For example, I also need no advice from Englishmen who reject their homeland and play at being an ozzie. Even if someone loves living in Oz, I do not understand what is so great about "becoming an Ozzie" - I will admit it is always easier to be what you think someone wants you to be but how would you feel about it when you are on your own and know that you have sold your own past and country away? It takes courage to be yourself, even at the risk of being a figure of curiosity or piss taking, but at the end of the day you get respect and, I think, in the end, people like you more for it. Oz is full of Ozzies - what is so interesting about one more, especially if they are a mock one?

When in Rome, do as the Romans, perhaps, but theres no need to exchange your Austin for a chariot and start calling yourself Wilfus Caecilius while you are at it.
