Nope. The MBTTUK forum is a valid outlet for those who have migrated and found it hasn't worked for them as they had hoped. Nobody moves countries for a lark. It's a serious, expensive and at times stressful experience. I think the least others can do is to respect others whose experiences and therefore opinons differ. That is the sign of a MATURE adult.

Wish I could. Working in Artamon this week. Looking out of window and thinking "yes" to beer, but "no" to pub crawl. You seen the weather....?

About time you guys organised something on a weekend

Oh I totally agree. I've done this a few times and the results can be amazing, like starting WW3 sometimes

Of course as I am an "OZ basher" it doesn't matter how credible the info I present at times, I have somehow managed to have it manufactured or else the source is a left wing union lover. One poster recently said that because I had mentioned some news they didn't like (they are moving to Perth, which the news was about), that I and Southern Cross Broadcasting Ltd were not credible sources.PMSL
