Oh Vash, I fear you might either have a bag of potatoes on your shoulder or an inferiority complex, for why else would you think I was talking about you??

As for where I lived yes in hindsight it was utopia, a little village in the midlands near to where you live. I had a huge nice new house with the only Victorian thing about it was a stamp in my stamp collection. An excellent job and business and lots of really good friends, Excellent neighbours and excellent shops, I was never short changed and never had a tradesman not turn up. I nearly always got good service other wise I would take my custom elsewhere, the eating out was great and foreign holidays and travel was both easy and cheap. I could post parcels anywhere in the world without providing my passport, and never had to keep renewing my driving licence every 3 years. Oh blis……

WTF am I doing here, I did live in utopia and now I live in Uganda!

Hmmm.....at least you are snorting the coke down, not up!!

He got a nice birth certificate for his son once!

Yes, his wife gave birth (don't ask about that) to a beautiful baby boy who has a stunning birth certificate I think he is actually in the pay of John Howard and trying to stop people moving here

Yes my first baby boy was born and even though Australia tried very hard to abort him through incompetence we managed a very beutifull and health little boy and I wouldn't swap that for the world. I am now in a massive dilema as where is best to send him to school. A problem I never thought I'd have to face even in the UK, but the stupididy I see on a daily basis gives me no comfort that this is the right country to give my son the best start in life.

There are other positive things but I'm getting told off for being on BE, so I'll leave them till later.

Sounds like it's time to bin the knotted handkerchief, sandles and socks outfit!

Stick at it mate. He who dares and all that......

Cheers

Brilliant.

Grayling. Where ave you been

Take a handful, sit down and enjoy the belly laughs

She may have known......... were you wearing any footwear ?



Seriously though, about the Jeep. I assume it was Andrew Miedecke Motors in Port Macquarie ? They are one of their 5 star dealers.

I suggest you complain direct to DaimlerChrysler, who quote: "Five Star Dealer Certification requires dealerships to contact customers after completing business with them to ensure each customer is completely satisfied. This follow-up process enables dealerships to constantly evaluate and improve the way they do business"

Been on holiday in the Canary Islands

Don't want to hijack this thread though ...it's one of the funniest yet

Vash and Arkon must be long lost cousins or twins separated at birth..their views on their adopted countries are so similar.

Got to go and do some work now

True

Just goes to show, each to their own

Arkon what particularly don' tyou like about Pt. Macquarie and surrounds? I have friends there, Taree and Upper Lansdowne who love it. All expats.
