Hiya,

I'm from Hamilton ( well, Burnbank actually ) but currently living in the Isle of Man. Been ready to leave here since we arrived!!
Heading for Melbourne early 2007. I'm a June 9th 136 Skilled Indep applicant.

Cheers,
*pearly*

Hello, long time no see, hope you hear something soon pearl, will have to meet you in melbourne now, we're on schedule for end jan/beginn feb, am meant to take post on 8th jan, but it is negotiable

hmmmmm, me thinks that might be sarcasm!!!!! It's a lovely place really - jumping!!!!!

I bet you're dead excited - have you booked your flights or are you waiting for the visa to come through first? Kinross is in the area we're looking at moving to - Joondalup and surrounding suburbs. Can't wait - 22 weeks on sunday!!! Anytime you're up for a coffee - give me a shout (although I'd prefer bacardi!!) I'm glad to hear you've got family there though, it must be a nice feeling knowing there will be friendly and familiar faces at the other end. Good luck with the application and let us know how you get on.

I once worked with a really nice girl from Kirkcaldy called Louise, I always think of her in any discussion about the place.

I was once stuck in a place nearby for hours in the rain when a bus broke down, it seemed rather grim....Inverkeithing?

All around the Neuk and just up to St Andrew's is lovely.


....and you all talk funny!

Hi There

I am originally from Grangemouth, worked in Glasgow for a bit. Kept getting called a chucter with strange accent (do ya ken what I mean). Staying in Brisbane - Manly.

Have been over here for over 2 months and apart from a few teething problems all is going well.

Still cant get my head around that It is going to be christmas soon.

Helllllllo teuchter!

My OH is from Aberdeen, I think of him being a chucter cos he is from up north. Edinburgh and surrounds is pretty much central belt?!

LOL, sorry I know I shouldn't. And what do you mean we all talk funny - funny ha ha or funny weird???? I once had a glasgow policeman tell me I had a lovely accent - he said we sing???????????????? Dont ask why he was speaking to me in the first place!!!!

In all seriousness, there are some lovely places and some not so lovely, I know, you should see some of the place I've worked!!!!

Hello There

Is that how you spell it.

Now I am just getting called a pommie B***ard.

I am starting to get a complex about this!

In Edinburgh, we call anyone who needed to get a green SMT bus to Dalkeith, Gorebridge or the like Teuchters! Outtatownies! etc etc

It is how you spell it.
Stick on this forum for long enough, you will be called much worse.

Please tell us, we will keep it a secret?!

oooh tempting though that is - I'd regret it in the bright light of day....oh sorry forgot I'm still in Scotland!!!!

Born and bred in Govanhill, Glasgow......lived in Rutherglen before emigrating to Canberra in August 2005.

Absolutely love it here and can't ever see myself living back in Glasgow again. I do miss the Scottish countryside...places like Glencoe and Loch Lomond but Australia is such a huge country with so many diverse regions to explore...all I need to do now is win the lottery...buy a campervan and off we go.....lol. Well we can all dream can't we.

Aw ra best to all the Glesga folk

Wendy
