Anyway taking onboard what you have said, once one is on the treadmill of life, how can you live complete with affluent car, when anytime you want to go anywhere you are faced with the problem of blocked roads or standing up on public transport. That initself is enough to put me off.... As a worker in the rat race at least.


Not so much fun owning a Hairdressers car complete with roof down, if your stuck on the M25 or M6 for a couple hours or more whilst they clear another accident.

As for Culture, there is definitely more in Melbourne, than a hell of a lot of the UK.

You probably were'nt suited to perth.



I travel 62 miles to work , takes 1hour 15mins most days , have taken 15mins longer some days , pile ups never happen in OZ , same old bull , next?

As someoe else said, F*** me!

I thought for a minute that perhaps I had gone back in some kind of bizarre time travel anomaly (like in the movies) and was back on the forum 3 years ago. So I looked around - no, still here now in 2006. There must be some other explanation.

Ah yes, that miserable whinging git from Perth is back.

And northerner...

Those of us that were on here back then and do remember him also remember that he came across as a complete w@nker then as well.
