Yup - we are all just a bunch of martyrs.

It hurts to cough and breathe in, but Ive slept loads and then trundled off to the bottle shop and purchased some chilled cans of bundy and coke - lovely for my sore throat


Im OK if I dont cough.

Hey guys and girls, I am just having a little fun, try not to take me too seriously.

Yes I have been to Perth and as a visitor I really like it. Loved Fremantle and the beaches too. I wouldn't want to live somewhere so isolated though.

I realize some people are really happy in Perth and good for them. Moving abroad is horses for courses, of course!

Have thay built that pub yet in Carramar ??
seems a good few people reeled in hook line and sinker
A good old British night out is the tonic to cure all Ales please
excuse the pun

Ps Perth is Gods Country

You naughty minx

Im in Freo - its great.

Oh dear, that word again!!!!

In addition to what PP said (brilliant post ), since we arrived six months ago we've been to so many concerts and exhibitions in this totally uncultural/uncultured city that we are fair worn out. In fact, I think I must go and have a little lie-down right now to recover from the weekend.

The prospective landlord is still mucking about. The walls started going up on the shopping centre last week though.

I will have a scooner in that pub if its the last thing i do

Sounds like you have just moved there with 25 posts. If so, good luck. We are waiting for 457 to come through and heading to Sydney.

Apart from too hot people say the same about Norwich - too isolated and backward, but like Perth I say great and that is partly why we will probably come back in future. Insulated from other UK problems!

Your not missing much at Carrrow Rd - although a tense relegation battle

Fair Play.... The Answer of all Answers

Oh dear, what do they teach in schools these days! (that was me channeling the spirit of Victor Meldrew ) I think you fail the IELTS writing test here, or at least you lose all the marks for actually constructing a reasonable argument.

Firstly, if you want to quote percentages, it'd be a good idea to actually do some counting to back your figures up. But in any event, even if "99%" of the postings are from those returning from Oz, that in no way translates to the assumption that 99% of Brits choose Oz. Perhaps there are other reasons why those returning from other destinations don't post so much. Did you not learn some basic logic?

Secondly, and skipping over the vague and indeterminate "a good proportion", of course a significant number of returnees are from Perth. It's a major destination for emigrant Brits, so assuming that there's any sort of reasonably even distribution of returnees amongst the major population centres of Australia, Perth must have a significant share. Did you not learn basic extrapolation and statistics?

Finally, there are many reasons for returning, so your further extrapolation that the numbers returning from Perth must be doing so because it's hell on earth is false, since you posit no causal relationship. Did you not learn any basic reasoning?

Of course, my post here is merely in fun: I just like taking apart ill-constructed arguments And naturally, you won't feel in the slightest bit defensive; after all, I'm just having a laugh No troll-feeding here...

Cheers

Made me laugh.

That was quite amusing. Well done.
