your stealing my lines ya bugga !!!

bstardo

a,

agree with you my firend, I havent done any name calling.


Heres my dig tho.

Perth.

from what I can summarise, its a overun british enclave, with rampant rapists, gun and drug crime rife, muderers on every corner, expensive houses, nothing to do, shops open 5 hours a day, billions of flies, force ten gales, crap airport, 3 tourist attractions, and its bases in the galaxy far far far away from any civilisation you have to get captain kirk to transport you....

oh and thats not including the 1 million alcholics slumped in the pacement gutters 24 hours a day....

and when you dont like that you head to Brisbane, which is becoming more pronounce

>Trigger<

OK...i'll bite....you talking bout Perth or Manchester?

Pollyana

mmm 7 o'clock in Qld and its dark and its blowing a cyclone outside. In front of the pc seems an excelelnt place to be.

You got it in one, except the bit about the pavements (I assume that's what you meant), 'cos Perth doesn't have many of those.

You think this because???? Overrun compared to what? rampant rapists? gun and drug crime rife? compared to what?

Sanctuary Cove or Nerang - compare - sorry but it's not just down to budget. it down to what YOU want, what you have come from and what you expect to get. You could have several million in the bank but not want to be near the water. You may want to be closer to the motorway and to the Hinterland and have acreage.

Other people base their decisions on other stuff. Just because you don't like how they make their decisions doesn't make them wrong and you right.

bstardo

see your comparing, the only place you can compare Perth with is Perth..

Think I have exhausted this thread as its going no-where...my point is not a valid one, and the replies have pretty much summarised my feeling of perceptions and feelings of expats living down under.

rabsody

Are you actually English? Just wondering because the articulation - or lack thereof - in your posts would suggest that English may not be your first language.

You've had about 20 replies....how can that summarise your feelings about expats living down under unless those feelings were already set?

The best thing about BE is the networking. You can gain great friends in real life, get great support, advice and encouragement and have a good laugh.

However, nothing is set in stone, there are no right or wrongs, pretty much just like in real life. Loads of opinions to be cyphered through, some of which you may heed and some of which you may think are a load of tosh....again, just like in real life.

Don't worry about the odd argument....give BE a go, and good luck on your emigration

BadgeIsBack

Comparing like for like is perfectly valid and I'd also recommend people did this.

It's probably just the way you came across.

Eastend Girl

That's what I thought too - I think it's just a wind-up

bstardo

This is one of those I am high and mighty educated responses, I expected.

bstardo

I would say this is valid too, its when you compare apples with pears like someone pointed out a few replies further up.
