Sorry if I upset anyone, but I thought it was really funny that someone who was a secretary (though 'more of a PA'), could have written that paragraph and then seriously suppose that they would be in demand for their skills in Australia!
Jeeze........if people in Oz are like you I'd better stay here.

I made a great start to this site giving my opinion on people in general but at least I didn't criticise one poor innocent person directly.

IMHO anyone who works in health care anywhere should be respected for what they do.

And I bet you are a genius are you?
It is people like you that are forcing a lot of people not to bother posting anymore.
Hence people missing out on valuable advice.

Lighten up!!!!!!!!!
So you thought you'd lower the tone even further did you, even put in red.

Is your surname head by the way. Cos it should be.

thanks, couldn't believe we were only five points short, i was wondering if we were to invest most of our house sale would that boost it up. i need a clear head to read through all the websites best doing it at weekend when i haven't been to work.
one consultant did say we would be better getting my uncle to sponsor us, but people tell me it is very long winding, my parents have died, i believe i would have to get my mums birth cert/death cert etc for proof of relationship and it goes on and on, but if thats the only way then i think i will have to be patient and get on with it.

We did it that route with birth certificates etc. The National records office holds copies I believe. It's not that long winded, just get stuck in and we'll all help on the advice front, and when you feel like just having a moan - do so - we all have - it helps.

Good luck

Again I have answered this in your other thread. We too were 5 points short, We were advised by our immigration consultant to take the STNI route.
Took us 5 months to obtain.
No relatives need sponsor you, No bond required, No extra money required to be paid.

May suit your needs as it did us.

Cheers. :beer: :beer:

Thanks for your comments, and I am sorry I upset you but it wasn't aimed at yourself:o
But just thought I would mention that this site, was meant to be helpful and not meant to be a grammar test:)
Sorry again to everyone else I didnt mean to cause offence to the very nice people on this site.

This is a very gracious retort Dicko. I for one accept your apology.
Checking the times of these posts' I don't think did I manage it within 24 hrs, even though I took the whole day off work for it. :beer:

I'm just a chippy you see...not even enough wit to be a proper half-wit. :rolleyes:

Yes, Kent indeed. You?
