Now, pass me the remote; there's a 27 round AFL replay this afternoon between the Sydney Girlies and the Adelaide Closets; followed by racing from the back of beyond. And then some kulture thing - bloody poofters!

why dont you tell us about them as well, instead of the constant remarks about rednecks, lack of culture etc..

thats probably why people are beginning to think you are sounding bitter.
If you use the search function you might find them.

Mike, it doesn't come over like that anymore. There are newer people who don't know you who probably can't understand you.

When someone praises Australia, give gthem half a chance, maybe they are commentating on their new country with fresh eyes. They will soon spot all the problems, and many do it for them here as well. Most people are not that stupid. You, are starting to just get bitter. You attack Australia even when the UK is not even mentioned.

I can see your point of view, but there are professionals who like it in Australia. And guess what, there are intelligent professionals in Australia; I know many people whould die rather than be attributed as rednecks.

I do recall posts where you have said nice things about Australia - and I do believe you have forgotten those. But a few months ago you even had a few nice things to say about Sydney on the return to UK forum.

I was just thinking to day that maybe there is more to you than meets the eye, an aspect of your life that we don't know about that gives you particular motive. I don't know. For all we know, you could be a disadvantaged black bloke who was bullied in Sydney.

I'd love to hear more about your life in London/Hertfordshire?

And you know what, you piss me off sometimes, but I'd would still look you up in London.

Sorry to burst your bubble, mate, but moving to Oz doesn't rank as one of life's most challenging tasks. Then again, perhaps it does for some.

As far as failure is concened, some of us aspire to higher things than being a removalist in the back of beyond - itself located on the far tip of nowhere..
Sorry Mike, gotta tell you the bad news. After reading that post, if I was offered a date with you or Mr Mover, I'd deffo choose Mr Mover now. He sounds like a bloke one could have some *fun* with...

Tough, but I feel like I owe to you to be brutally frank....
