I cannot recall Arkon resorting to insults as easily.... except for labelling most Aussies as thick.
Mind you Arkon doesn't have the online Groupies that PB has

PB and Arkon say things at times that are poles apart from many people's views [including mine]. I just shake my head, laugh....and walk away
At least he and others tell it as they see it. They don't post under an assumed name so as to betray who they are.
Would anyone's comments seriously stop anyone from migrating? I doubt it.
I reckon 99.9% people on here are intelligent sensible people with viewpoints all of their own. Most can decipher the wheat from the chaff, besides....how can anyone know what Aus or anywhere is about, until they try it?
Some hate Aus....some hate UK....some generalise about a nation some generalise about its people some generalise about its culture, blah, blah......
If someone wants to think EVERYONE is stoopid cos they choose to live somewhere different from them, so what
I know who's stooopid on that score.
I certainly aint letting anyone get me pissed off cos of it
Fancy a drink? Just don't throw any bottles at me cos I prefer Brisvagas to anywhere else

Re: 3 Years on , back in UK
Let's face it a lot of people on here can't hear a bad word about Australia yet are quick to slag of the UK.
Australia is fine, the Uk is fine they're just different some like one some like the other.
I like Melbourne and Sydney, I went to Brisbane once and hated it and I'm sure I wouldn't like Perth either.
It's all about personal preference.
Posts like PB's and Arkons are more than welcome in my eyes as it gives a view other than through the rose tints which most people use.

Re: 3 Years on , back in UK
pommie Bastard [keith] came here as an engineer for Orbital engines a perth company, i got the feeling from his early posts that things wer,nt going well when his posts started knock his fellow work mates, then were he lived, then western Australia then the country as a whole. 
He then started to have a dig at any BE oz is good posters, and went into spasms of glee at any oz is bad posts.
Thus setting the tone for his eventual departure, i have noticed in his latest post a number of mistakes and grammatical errors,? unusual for PB.
I think PB is not happy in Kinver hence his re emergence
and i look forward to the up and coming KINVER is SHITE posts .............

I find that far more insulting.
See, again....not sure you have really read the posts....I cant see where ANYONE has slated him for not liking Australia....They are more slating him because of the tone of his posts and his digs he makes towards people who do happen to like the place or want to move there....HUGE difference in my opinion....
you appear to have also only seen what you wanted to see
Of course it doesnt NEED to be taken like this...of course people could just sit here all happy that someone is blatently saying they are all ignorant because if they come to Australia to try it out to see if THEY like it, and not cancel all of their dreams and plans because some shallow insignificant little man didnt like it they are stupid....
Of course.....everyone, thats it!! We are all not allowed to have the right to respond to these claims as he is the one with the right to voice his thoughts on here...but no one else is

Memorable quotes from Keith from The Office...
“I watched that Peak Practice.”
“Yeah, I’ve never seen it.”
“Bloody repeat.”
“Annoying innit?”
“Not for me, I hadn't seen it.”

It must be good though as you have to give things a time, maybe I should download it.
I've been watching sopranos and have run out of series 6 and I've nearly exhausted Curb your enthusiasm.
