Hominid I presume? Reserving judgement.

I thought it was a fair question. Obviously not...

Oz's critics always go on about " boring dull Australian suburban life" well what makes life in British suburbs so exciting, do people living in dreary shoebox size council flats , housing estates, little terrace houses live more exciting lives then people in OZ suburbs?

It always makes me smile when I see journalists elevating other ex journo's to the level of intellectuals. And it stands to reason that people who crave an audience to make a living will move to a populous country, but for the rest of us who don't crave the limelight and just want to have a relaxing stress free existence Australian isn't to bad.

She must have picked Beethoven because he's a famous son of Vienna (I think its somewhere near Dudley, very British). Come the Yellowstone Apocalypse she'll be the first to buy a Quanta's ticket to the Antipodes.

Shakespeare & Beethoven ... or ... sunshine & beaches ?

Hmmmm, let me think about that one PMSL



I would much rather like in a country where "You are judged by who and what you are, not by what you've been or where you've come from" even if it has no shakespeares or beethovens

also

I would much rather live in a country that has "fabulous food - glorious steaks, succulent seafood and exotic 'Pacific Rim' cuisine" than one where I can "enjoy an endless diet of soccer".

really ???? My time in the british suburbs was mainly spent doing 'normal life' things such as washing, ironing, dusting, grocery shopping, going to the gym, meeting up with friends, catching up on Corrie and the occasional (2 or 3 per year) cheap trip to holland / austria / spain / London etc.

Name me one place to live where washing, ironing, and dusting are not boring and dull

Portsmouth you say, whereabouts, I'm in sunny Copnor fly out to Perth end of September.

btw better change your location thingy

andyedwards

Noosa would be a first choice for us if only those 6 numbers would come in!! We loved the place and particularly want one of those lovely big houses with a lake in the back yard to park a nice little yacht!! However back to reality, can't afford that so we're heading further south. Good schools are a priority for us, then maybe move further up the coast later on. Cheers

Would it not have been more polite to start a new thread for this?

Why, dont mean to be rude but I think its relevant to the original post.
Comparing Aus to the UK is what the article was about. So comparing Portsmouth to Noosa would seen logical too me.
