Get a grip. It's my personal opinion I think you are rude and ignorant. I kindly answered your post/question about buying land for investment here the other day , you wanted to know about the rates etc

I went out of my way to write an answer , being a land owner myself. You could not be even bothered to say thank you , so I deleted the post . It's the last time I answer one of your posts.It is common courtesy to say thank you or at least acknowledge the answer when someone is trying to help you with your problem

I could feel sorry for you as you sound like a screwed indvidual to me.

And don't even bother responding to this message - because I will not be answering it , I've wasted more than enough time writing this to your unprovoked insult in your above message

Thank you

Now if only there was a hamster as Prime Minister of Australia?

You 'went out of your way' to respond to somebody's question and then because they didn't say 'thank you' you deleted your reply out of spite. Well if that is not attention-seeking I don't know what is. Maybe if you hadn't thrown your toys out of the pram and deleted it I might have read it !

Do you really expect everyone on here to follow up all replies with a 'thank you'. How long do you think that would take ? This is supposed to be a forum for helping people. It's nasty individuals like you that are putting people off making any more worthwhile contributions.

Thank you for making it clear the type of posts that are now allowed. When I pull the electric probes out of my head I will be back to tell the ' New truth '. The" new Australia" "the new reich."

Florrie... You are further off the wall than the electrical switches in my house (which believe me is saying something)...

You are so wrong. Ceri is not nasty. She can however APPEAR to be very nasty, but so what?

You can never win a debate here and it is not the debating academy. It is the internet. You know LOL (oh I feel dirty now) IMHO ROFL.

I take exception to comments by ceri and others (including you) on occasion when I feel you have painted an opinion with too broad a brush.

A bit of reflection is is a good thing. Take a bit of time to respond (or don't) when you feel offended.

Re: Where`s PB???
 

LOL!!!

if you were in Brissie, I`d suggest we meet up for a beer or three... your humour is just what I need at the moment!!!

R U married Florrie???

Oh yes I am .. I'm a nasty, nasty, nasty person - down girl!

Ironic isn't it - some people who I will not name because I'm in a "cob" now (sulk) have time to insult me but no time to say thank you - lol

Nasty girl you!

cheers

I have learnt my place in the world.

No dear...no...just sending an email to the salvos...no...poms?...no never talk to them...yes dear right away...

Got to go now...

Re: Where`s PB???
 

From what I heard from people in OZ, the humour of this site kept a few of them going, comforting to know others felt the same way, had the same problems, even if they were not up to posting for fear of criticism.

So much for OZ lifestyle forum, most of the 'Oz residents' have now been banished.

As my Australian husband said when he read todays posts "Not very Australian is it".

"Got a Cob on" - well that's a saying I haven't heard for a long
time. Sorry to be trivial.

;)

You haven't said "cob" in "yonks" - lol. That's another one for you "Yonks" (ages).

cheers:)

Trival! Who is talking trival !! - Taking my name in vain - pre married status - "maiden" name is Cobb and well proud of it name and mood I get in reading some of these posts.....oh shit have I joined the "other side" responding to a thread I have enjoyed.....funny you all seem to be mostly Expats.....what are you doing here?

Cheers
:D

Re: Wonderful Australia
 

Well I think it's a big load of crap! and I too have never been there, but I'm going anyway because I'm a fly.

Ceri - I think your computer is confusing the 'n' key with 't'.

Judging by that photo you posted when you were out fishing.

Time for a bikini shot methinks.

Whoops the sexist censors are gonna get me.

This is quite a funny thread. hehe:D

As i haven't been on this site for a while.......and enjoyed the rants of PB and co.........just wondering where they are??



(Going to Melbourne Nov 03! :beer: )

Over the last two days a lot of posts by PB and Jayr in particular plus some others have been deleted by the moderator.

All lighthearted and negative posts By Australian residents are now placed under the heading Junk.

It appears one too many threads appeared by UK people complaining about the likes of "reality" posters who live in OZ. They have won and it appears the residents of OZ are now silenced. If you are looking for those posters humour and honesty it looks like you missed out.

Interestingly enough I purposly checked on here early this morning to see if posts negative on the UK, or UK residents using humour towards other people were being deleted. Not the case however, not at all.

I hope the whingers like the new squeaky clean OZ is wonderful, UK is crap forum. Dont expect to find many OZ people in it tho everytime they make a funny or negative its deleted. For those who followed the realistic posts and the humour its Goodbye. Hope you all enjoy the new but in my opinion very biased forum.

Well PB, Wilf and the like are certainly not humourous (unless you like incessant schoolboy 'humour') and I certainly cannot remember one single post from them that was in the least bit useful or realistic.

It's been a joy to see the back of PB. Let's kope it lasts.

This forum is come one, come all. Or should be. You might not find PB funny, but I do. I also find him well-informed about Oz as many find it to be once here - witness the "Now I see what PB has been on about" posts that a number of people send in once they have been in Oz for a while. You will be doing one yourself one day if your heart is big enough.

That's where you've missed the point completely. When I was in the UK I was annoyed by PBs inaccurate rants and had I been naive like some of the would-be migrants on here I may have been put off moving. Now I am living in Australia it is blatently obvious that PB and the other whingers are just making it up. It may be harmless chit chat to you and many others but it also has a serious side. Some people are hell bent on putting people off moving here. Not only that, they deliberately try to destroyed posts from people who are being helpful.

You were annoyed; some agree with you. Many do not and find PB's stuff a good reminder that things are not perfect. You are a recent arrival and will, as I say, see the point of PB's stuff in the end and then, if you have the heart for it, you will admit it here.

You are living one life in Oz, there are many others. Let everyone posts their opinion and you will have a good mix that will be more realistic than any one opinion - even yours.

[funny you all seem to be mostly Expats.....what are you doing here?

Doing here where? On the forum or in Oz? I'm doing the Aussie Work Cultural thing and surfing whilst at work. And of course trying to be helpful in my fellow countrymen by telling them the price of chicken legs.

:p

Was being sarky about the fact we are expats on a forum for comments about a country in which we live - but banished to a single thread to amuse ourselves.

Never sure whether I am one or t'other postive or negative person, I suppose I will be told by the 'other side' soon enough - enjoying the laughs in the meantime:D

Nice to see that you still have it , thank god its you rather than me though.
One question is there life as we know it South of Freo ?


:D :cool:

I liked your comment that "we are expats on a forum for comments about a country in which we live - but banished to a single thread to amuse ourselves." It is a funny one and oddly true.

I think you must be becoming "one of us", Sandra. Now you are worried?

Very good crack. I will be pinching that one.

Why would they do that? Surely they are just giving their opinions. Which may not coincide with yours.

Don't be naive Don. Have you never heard of trolls ? A troll is an attention seeker. To draw attention to themselves they have to do something that stands out or something that is 'controversial'. Unfortunately that spoils it for everyone that wants to use the forum for its intended purpose. Ask any psychologist about trolls. They exist in all walks of life - not just the internet. You can argue for 'free speech' and the like but it comes to the point where people with genuine information to post just give up. The forum is then overrun with trolls and virtually useless. This forum is close to that point.

I post messages like this because I think it would be a shame to happen. Every day I have to ask myself whether I am wasting my time on here. I guess it will not be long before I too have had enough.

Whether or not an opinion coincides with mine is irrelevent. I have no vested interest in whether someone migrates or not. I present the facts as I see them and let people make up their own minds. I do it because I have been through the process myself. However some people's agenda is to make a potential migrant feel bad about their decision to move by posting distorted and untrue information. I find that rather shameful.

Hi everyone,
Where can I find all the deleted threads? Please let me have the link. Thanks

Nina

Nina,

Which part of "deleted" do you not understand :)


Peter

Hi Peter,

I meant 'deleted ' from this forum and moved some place else. I could'nt find them in the Lounge, you mentioned they were moved there.

Cheers
Nina

Nina,

I moved some, I deleted some. Moved ones are at the Lounge. The deleted ones are obviously gone.

Tired of Pommie Bastard
 

Me and my partner are moving to Australia in 2 months and I regularly check this forum for possible useful information.

I did think PM was kind of funny even though I had hard time understanding what he wrote (yes I am French!) due to what I would call “a non-conventional English�.

But now … I AM GETTING TIRED! All the information he offers is about people getting fired, slowness of the trains, the garbage …. It is always negative and contributes to nothing at all!

PM, is there a way you could disappear from here …. Let those stupid migrants discover by themselves how dumbs they had been to emigrate! You experience has been a failure, fine! Go back to where you belong (uk?) and get back to life for godsake!

I made it! I needed to express it ….

Au Revoir

Djamel (France, Paris)


P.S: I hope I haven t made too many English mistakes ;)

Song: Happy Talk Lyrics

Bloody Mary:
Happy talk, keep talkin' happy talk,
Talk about things you'd like to do.
You got to have a dream,
If you don't have a dream,
How you gonna have a dream come true?

Talk about the moon floatin' in the sky
Lookin' at a lily on the lake;
Talk about a bird learnin' how to fly.
Makin' all the music he can make.

Happy talk, keep talkin' happy talk,
Talk about things you'd like to do.
You got to have a dream,
If you don't have a dream,
How you gonna have a dream come true?

Talk about the sparrow lookin' like a toy
Pickin' through the broaches of a tree;
Talk about the girl, talk about the boy
Countin' all the ripples on the sea.

Happy talk, keep talkin' happy talk,
Talk about things you'd like to do.
You got to have a dream,
If you don't have a dream
How you gonna have a dream come true?

Talk about the boy sayin' to the girl:
"Golly, baby, I'm a lucky cause."
Talk about the girl sayin' to the boy:
"You an' me is lucky to be us!"

Happy talk, keep talkin' happy talk,
Talk about things you'd like to do.
You got to have a dream,
If you don't have a dream
How you gonna have a dream come true?

If you don't talk happy,
And you never have dream,
Then you'll never have a dream come true!

[Spoken]
It's good idea, you like?


:D :cool: :beer:

no & I don t care

Re: Tired of Pommie Bastard
 

No, I am not grey inside and I do not think Pommie Bastard is either. He just does not take life very seriously. It is the British way.
