Hi Stacey,

Welcome to BE.

I am in the US, so can't relate to the moving to Aus, but I can most certainly relate to the waiting. Time really drags sometimes doesn't it.

Anyway I hope you enjoy using the site and please let me know if you have any site questions.

Sue

Good point kporte. I remember a journalist referring to that whole M8 corridor from Lanarkshire through to West Lothian as "orange county".
I wonder if the humour police are on patrol!
What an idea. Let's send Scottish rednecks to Perth WA. Why didn't I think of that before?

Hi Stacey Australia has loads of pathetic Aussie football/rugby fans. They are not bitter just daft. It's the most sport obsessed country that I've ever been to.
My God it really is boring

Hey Stacey, I am in the exact same position as you! We lodged our visa application in early Jan 09 & have also applied for state sponsorship for WA. My partner is a mechanic, we just want to get there asap. We live in Stepps just outside Glasgow. Nice to know someone else is in the same boat

Yeah wel dont have a problem with people who enjoy there sport, if u know central scotland wel then you wil know what i mean, football isnt a sport here, just an excuse for a piss up and a fight! My son loves football, but i would rather not have him grow up somewhere, where it is so patriotic!!!
