Re: Go Matilda e-time
Let's cut the crap here!
The OP is a troll.
I've only started posting as "Scossie", since I've been living in Australia.
Alan knows this, & recently sent me a PM, (he has a frighteningly good memory), (still freaks me out Alan) after reading one of my posts.
I've been posting, probably longer than any of the people who use the Oz/NZ forum regularly. (only one or two of the originals still post).
I started posting through usenet, before the website britishexpats.com even existed.
Alan was, and is, one of the best sources of info' that I had when I was preparing & waiting, &waiting, & wiating, (18 months), for DIMA, as it was then, not DIMIA, as it is now!
We had a good old chinwag about my mate who got his visa in 16 days!!
How he'd been here for 5 years, & that we'd have a furious drinkathon on Oz Day!
Well, I'll tell you what Alan, Me old buddy! you know I hosted Oz Day last year, Well it's down to us this year again !!!
If you're anywhere near WA on Oz Day, bugger off.... Only kidding. Gimmie a phone!!

You're Scottish, so you'll know what that means.
I wasn't telling any lies in my last post.
This forum started as a newsgroup.
I started posting round about 1998.
(under another username) It's been deleted now.
B XP's more or less took it over round about 2001/2002, but Alan has been there from as far as I can remember.
He's always given good advice, & continues to do so..........

Re: Go Matilda e-time
Alan pointed me to Expats back in Dec 2002 when I started out doing the Pros Spouse Visa - I emailed Go Matilda with some really simple question, and he said something like it wasn't worth me paying for that sort of advice, and if I came to this forum I could get all the questions answered. He has since given me a lot of good advice voa the forum - as have the other agents on here.
I have a lot of respect for someone honest like that, who doesn't take money for old rope!
Why is no-one asking the same questions of the other agents? Jeremy, George et al? They all spend plenty of time on here too.
