I'm sitting here in my DRIZABONE, wearing my MOLESKINS with my ACRUBA hat and BLUNDSTONE boots, and my RM WILLIAMS undadaks, just about to do some hard YAKKA on me UTE Mate

Took Pascal 20 minutes.... (ok, I did about a year of preperation, and he had a medical etc)


What about a category 'not even British but blab on(even offtopic) and post just as much, including whinging, and can fall into practically every category, depending on mood, situation and who or what at that moment is the underdog'.....

Shouldn't the thread killer category be split into two distinct discernable categories:

1) The serious type who answers the OP’s original question thus bringing the thread to a natural end.
2) The gobby type that keeps on posting long after the thread has past its use by date.

Cheers

How about the

"I live in the UK and I know better than youse (very Aussie) that live there because I've researched it on the internet"

There is the small sub group of the above

"We won't need much money when we get to Oz"

You should have included a 3rd

3) People who intentionally or unintentionally misunderstand a post on the thread, completely confusing and stunning the thread readers into silence. Not that I've ever done that.

Much

Sh*t I had to wait for 3 years before I was a PR Then another 2 before a Citizen then another 2 before I was able to return to the UK for a short while to spend time with my folks as the whole process cost us every cent we had.

Must have done it the wrong way! Bugger!

lol I seem to remember geting some flack for buying a ute, and then buying a slab when I got here. It's just what you do when you're visiting mates. I got a ute because my plan was to go outback and work. But then I do have some country credentials being a bit of a country boy, having jackerooed and lived out in the country.

So I'll let you off Jad this time.
