Good point Grayling, I have seen many, many posts along the lines of,

Hands up who can't wait to leave this dump

I have been in Oz one day, it is heaven, UK URRRRGGGGHHHHH

Anyone seen the latest OZ tourism ad in UK, it is just like day to day life here!!! If you have any doubts watch it !!!!!

I read the Mail today and it said that Blair is letting in 10 million Albainian gangsters every hour

I am fed up with paying taxes to keep Dole cheats in UK, this does not happen in Australia, does it???

You get the drift, these sort of ill informed posts go on and on with tons of support from wannabee immos.

They do not get locked, they get applauded.

Guess people really do just hear what they wanna hear. I mean for all those type of posts how much of a % do mine make??? Miniscule, yet it is seen fit to jump on my posts and choke em!!

Good luck to those offended by my rather mild posts, god help you in macho piss taking Oz, me thinks some will be screaming

Worn off. I think it must have, because for a split second you sounded reasonable...........it must be time to increase my medication.

Keep rolling your eyes like that and you can give us all a 3D description of your arse.

Tell me more please as we speak we have converts of these ads waiting to arrive, I'm serious they must be good. Any clues would help.

I'm not sure what my arse looks like, but I know you talk with yours. Now unclench your buttocks, and release the bitterness.....


Whilst you're at it stop following me around you clodhopping yokel.

Children, children, children. take it out into the playground and beat each other with feather dusters

I think the secret is that most people hate negativity - which is not to say that it is not valid.

Have to admit I find realistic posts like Hevs balanced and realistic - also bear in mind they are still HAPPY and fairly content. I find some posters are either a pain
eg Kong. My old friend Mike's posts are a tad only patronising if he feels under threat and then he tries to win it by taking the intellectual high ground.

I think you have to look for malice or mischeivious in people's intent. Some people are just plain malicious with their posts and they will always win enemies.

Dotty was funny and cynical so wasn't too bad. See, she was still *happy*. The problem is when people sound bitter. But then it shows anyhow.

My view on "Australia is great and the UK is a dump" is

both countries have exactly the same problems but Australia has little incentives that makes your day a little better - for some people.

eg a little bit of sun is good for many people, and a sunny day can make you feel great - I know - I live in Melbourne!!

Many people say things amounting to "I'd rather have all the sh*t in a shiner bucket than in a dull one".

Actually, Kong, old boy, I do think your posts are on the mild side and generally polite enough so I can't see why people obect to them.

Much simpler for any easily-offended to put you on 'ignore' than go running to the mods, who I'm sure just want an easy life rather than feeling they have to keep locking your posts.
