A moment of realisation
Just read yet another thread from Dotty, Wilf et. al. Yawn yawn. So, this entire forum, and it's title, says it all. BRITISH EXPATS. No wonder I'm looking for a different angle on life. Whinging, whining, miserable bloody poms who can't undo that umbilical cord for more than 30 seconds without a compare and contrast moan about all and sundry. Maybe we should all 'emigrate' to the costas and have a fried brekky every morning, bitch about the locals not understanding us, then get plastered and wreck anything in sight? National stereotypes - what do you expect!
Well i'm bored shitless and off down under. I'll bother looking at this forum again one fine day when I need it, otherwise for pure good old fashioned english put-down entertainment, it's had it's time - and mine. 2 years ago an invaluable resource, now a positive encouragement to get gone.
Here come the verbal assaults, help yourselves.

"dont know if I could do that - know what I mean?"
nothing but whinging!! oneupmanship etc
It must be so bizarre for a Kiwi or an Aussie to hear so little confidence in this little isle of ours when they come over! It killed me when I first came back..I'd shake my head in disbelief when I first got on trains and buses..I go in to the Walkabout bars to get my fix of positivism and happy smiling people..

No verbals from me. Too much whinging, you're right. I wonder if we've been more cheerful this year? Had better weather anyway.
And yes, why do us poms go abroad and then complain that we can't get a Sunday lunch like at home? We should celebrate the differences and enjoy pasta, paella or pecan pie instead...
Cheers,
Mark

Old excuses for problems
IT is almost an inevitable conclusion that whenever we hear of robberies, bashings, rape, antisocial behaviour and car chases, the first thought is: "Were the offenders Aboriginals?"
More often than not, this is the case. The situation is now seriously out of control. Yet we keep hearing the same old worn out irrelevant excuses from Aboriginal agencies - disadvantage, 200 years of oppression, racism and so on.
Whenever Aboriginals are criticised, their leaders label it a racist act. But the overwhelming majority of people want Aboriginal people to stand on their own feet and become useful and productive members of society.
City-dwelling Aboriginals have access to the same facilities as the rest of us to become educated and trained in the skills to carry them through life. They also have access to an army of government and other agencies with vast amounts of money, all of which is unavailable to the remaining 97 per cent of the population.
If that isn't a system of apartheid, then I don't know what is.
Aboriginal elders quite rightly throw their hands up in despair when they see the direction that their culture is heading.
All we get is politically-correct nonsense and end up with more and more Aboriginal children dying from their lifestyle or ending up on a merry-go-round of incarceration.
Aboriginals can break the cycle of crime but they alone must want to do it first before it gets much worse. Respect, like any other quality, has to be earned not demanded.
JEFF BUTLER, Leschenault.
A 12-YEAR-OLD boy killed in a high speed car chase. An elderly couple viciously bashed and robbed in their own home. A defenceless animal weighed down with concrete and drowned in a backyard swimming pool. And all this in just one day. The big man upstairs must be looking down and wondering where it all went wrong.

whinge:
v. To whinge can best be described as to whine. Likewise, someone particularly partial to whinging is known as a whinger.
whine:
v. intr.
1. To utter a plaintive, high-pitched, protracted sound, as in pain, fear, supplication, or complaint.
2. To complain or protest in a childish fashion.
3. To produce a sustained noise of relatively high pitch: jet engines whining.
v. tr.
To utter with a whine.
com·plain
intr.v.
1. To express feelings of pain, dissatisfaction, or resentment.
2. To make a formal accusation or bring a formal charge.
The distinction is that whinging is petulant childish complaint. "Unloading" rather than seeking redress or resolution.

Keep posting and just ignore all of the c**p. That is the easiest thing to do. Scroll over anything titled by anyone who irritates you- if you don't read it you wont get wound up.
They will never stop posting, but if you just ignore what they say it will make no difference to your outlook will it?

Aussies whinge FAR more than Brits do.
As for "One Upmanship" - Hey Welcome to Australia where you will work yourself into the dusty red earth to be better than your neighbours (at anything).
In the tradition of sweeping statements at which I excel :
I have NEVER met more competitve people EVER ANYWHERE.
Anyway ta ra for now. No doubt you will reappear in a different reincarnation as Suzanne Crabtree did, and who now keeps us all awake at night wondering, fretting and conjecturing who she is now.

Don't take things too seriously or you will miss out on one of the best jokes in life - oneself.
Two pieces of advice for you:
1. Don't just get out into the world, sit there.
2. ALWAYS go back.
All the best nichola
