It's ok Grayling, you should see the quality of the kids that get taught here, 14 year olds by the bucket loads that can't even read let alone hold a pen.

No, the pleasure is mine......or it would be, but I am deficient...so I wouldn't know if it was pleasurable, or not....allegedly....

Forget about the pots and kettles, its more of a case of
buckets, as in

Fair enough. Only drink Vodka or the odd Bud myself and they don't mess around with them Not a great fan of Byron myself, nicer places around here.

Quite liked Ballina....found the bits of the GC I saw a bit too built up.

Will probably end up in Brisbane or on the Sunshine coast (Noosa maybe).

In the process of arranging gainful employment so that may have to be a factor

For the record, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development statistics rate educational attainment in Oz higher than the UK in most sectors, including a significantly higher percentage of people attending university.

Etc.
Are you suggesting that people who relate negative experiences they had in Australia must, by definition, be liars? Surely it cannot be, as that would make you seem like an offensive, blinkered, deluded fool.

Just because someone posts about personal experiences and doesn't publish a detailed bibliography of names and sources dragged off the internet doesn't mean it's all made up. Not everybody has to use google as a substitute for thinking.

This is not a court of law, so why should people have to post proof to back up personal experiences? Or are you now issuing writs for slandering Australia?
