Re: Face facts
Maybe I should get on a plane to ADL today and claim asylum in Oz? After all, parts of this country are third world! hhmmm....wonder if THAT would work?

Re: Face facts
OOooooooo I love reading these 'mass debates'
Seriously, I never thought I would ever say this! but Eatstatic is entitled to his opinion without the remarks getting personal. It doesn't mean he is a bad person, it's just his reflection of HIS time in Oz. It didn't suit him, big deal. Does it affect your life ? no. But people do come on here to hear both sides.
I have so missed the big rows
We are, so far, having a great time, because we want something different out of life than Eatstatic.
Since being here I can see what people may not like about it.
Eatstatic tries to be mischievious, which I find now, being on the other side quite funny, as it must really wind some people up. What real harm is he doing? as long as he too understands, if some of us like Oz then there isn't something wrong with us.
Geeze, some of you would be sending death threats if Pommie Bastard was still around
BTW the other posting that was unsigned was Warren

What you've said is so true - it's his opinion and no less valid than anyone else's. I think he loves to play Devil's Advocate really! He often gets some good debate going, which is no bad thing

I really appreciate the following about Blighty (in no particular order)
A lot of intelligent people with a great sense of humour

Cant have it all!! But on reflection the UK sure beats narrow minded, parochial, subarban boorish, racist OZ.

It's not the message that causes the problem, it's the delivery mechanism.
