Oh well guys, looks like all of us who are planning on going to Australia are going to end up back in the UK. Or we are going to end up bitter and twisted living in Australia. Why are we doing it? Maybe we should all just sit here on our butts for the rest of our lives and not try anything different or new.
Is there a link somewhere on t'internet that someone can find that shows how many Poms go to Oz and then return again to the UK? I'm sure somebody can find one.
Right that's it. I'm gonna stop the whole process right now of this immigration stuff. I'm obviously wasting my time and my money coz I'm just gonna end up back here anyways....
GIVE ME A BREAK!

That was a clue who it was aimed at.
You will go to Australia because you are a wanderer. Then you will go somewhere else.

Maybe you should have sent it as a PM - that's all I'm saying.

She may not appreciate my support, I don't know, but she is nearly always attacked - even if the attacks are disguised as questions. I have not noticed you doing it, however. Perhaps you think for yourself?

Rosy, you've only been there a few months? Gawd, by the way you were going on and on about how bad it was I'd have thought you had been living there for yonks. Give it a fair ol' go. Could it be that you are just homesick and missing friends/family?
This was before she explained that she had been there for longer than her original post stated. I realise now that it was a bit condensending.
But you are doing the same thing though. Attacking people by calling them idiots just because of their views.
Whatever. It just seemed harsh you saying that everyone who is going to migrate to Australia is an idiot and that sooner or later they would all realise that they had made a mistake and that only the people who admit it and end up going back to the UK is reasonable. Just didn't think that was fair.

You have a 50/50 chance of staying. Emigrating is expensive, stressful, and hardly ever what is really needed.

So if you are so wise about these things why did you do it? Is that why you are now going to stay in Australia even though you don't like it?

I am a bloody fool, that is why I came here.
Now I am trapped here. I am standing up the road from a hole and am saying 'there's a hole down there'. It is a thankless task. Who likes bad news? Nevertheless, if I can put one person off, I will have done someone a favour.
