I'll bring some over with me for you....you should be able to sell them at a good price over there, what with all the depressed people, they should reach a premium. :)

What complete rubbish. According to the World Health Organisation anti depressants are prescribed in UK far more than Australia pro rata. Probably more need them to get through each miserable day in an overpopulated melting pot of social disaster. Maybe you should lay off yours a while and perhaps the cinisism disorder will be eased ? ;)

Actually I think it is the best country in the world for me and my family. Its clearly not for you. I think your hundreds of posts moaning about every facet of Australian life that has the misfortune of crossing your path established that some time ago.

However, as much as we can accept that you hate Australia, you should realise that some of us love it. You dont have to agree with my viewpoint since I certainly dont agree with yours. The only difference is I voted with my feet on the issue and left the country that exasperated me.

One of the things I miss about Australia now that I'm living in the UK, is going to the supermarket in the evening and seeing kiddies in their pyjamas and dressing gowns, out for the late night shopping with mum and dad. :cool:
I still go barefoot mate, Just not walking down the street. In the car, at the Gas station and at the boat ramp but not the high street - but give me a heat wave and I might go back to my old ways :D

Only time I feel a need to reach for the anti-depressents is when I read the bigotted shite spouted by some of the stuck-up nonentities on this forum.

It's OK, I'll get my muffin top out, wear a skirt that's like a belt and walk round with bare feet.

I want to at least try to fit in a bit :D

Thankfully, I've only seen bare feet at the beach.

Mind you it's been a bit cold, so maybe it's a pleasure I've yet to encounter :scared:
