The detail of a response is directly proportionate to the effort in posting a question, minus the inability of the poster to read previous threads, multiplied by the square root whether or not it could be googled in the first place.

Re: is it worth it
 
yes 100 times over, but I wouldnt rule out living and working somewhere else though, i have a bit of a freespirit mentality and don't get turned on with the big house, pool, plasma and Toyota Prado that many on these boards seem to aspire to. I'd never live in the UK again though, so many more interesting places to see.

ABCDiamond Sep 22nd 2009 11:14 am

Re: is it worth it
 
Yes and No....

the answer depends on the definition of worth...

But I suppose, after full analysis, weighing up the pros and cons, and taking a full average, without taking account of standard deviations, the resulting answer would have to be...

Yes (for me and my situation) :thumbup:

Amazulu Sep 22nd 2009 12:34 pm

Hell yes.

To all the people who replied no, why are you still here?

To answer that would be like saying why bother with posting on a forum.

Not really, it was a valid question. Why do you give a moneys if someone says they aren't happy but are still here?

You seem to get upset though about people who say things you don't like. E.g. Perth is boring.

Just out of curiosity ... why do you want to know, why they want to know ?

Or should I not want to know this ? :lol:

To be honest, I don't really care what other people think. Just curious why it bugs others so much.

Okay, I see you're going to be pedantic about this (what's new). You also don't seem to understand the meaning of a forum either (look it up).

I have never understood, and never will, why people live somewhere that they are not happy - especially when they have a choice not too. I understand that a few may not have choice for various reasons, but most do. As for people posting shite about Perth, that used to wind me up but no longer - and has not for a long time.

LOL, I think the field is defnitely better looking but I was getting a picture of a quite attractive woman at one stage. OT sorry!
