No it isn't, and I have never said it is. But what I do, is try to help people to find alternative places that are cheaper whenever I can.

And because I try to help, and point out that sometimes things can be obtained at different prices from different places, some people think that I am Unusual, Odd, Delusional, Have a Personality Disorder, etc.

You just mentioned "if i say, for instance, shoes are more expensive in australia. is that a complaint? or is it just a statement of fact in my world? "

I agree, it is just a statement of fact, yet if I say that you can buy certain shoes cheaper in my part of Australia, which is also a statement of fact, I would get complaints from a minority that I am always too positive?
Not that I would say that all shoes are cheaper, although, Crosby shoes are as good for Kids as Clarkes shoes, and at $25 per pair, may actually be cheaper. But even then, I compare the Crosby shoes to Australian Clarkes shoe prices. I don't have a clue what they cost in the UK.

I have actually posted previously about a trip to the UK where my wife just loved the UK shoe shops, and we have holiday snaps of her outside them with her shopping, to prove it

Do you know, up until now I was thinking that I didn't really identify with some Australians, that they didn't "get" me but reading this thread, I think perhaps its maybe me that is on another planet - its like weeeeirrdddd.

After an hour at sharks, anyone under 50 looks like a young lady to you

I may have an older body, but my brain and eyes still think I am 20

Actually I have only been in the Sharks twice, and that was to Netball functions for my daughter.

Obviously distracted you from your spelling!

What is clantily dressed?
Dressed in a clant I guess!



Now you're making me sound like Dr Seuss.

haha, she sounds like my kinda woman!

you know what, i am a tad hungover from a xmas party last night and i concede defeat! i just can't be bothered to keep going at this because we will never see it the same way. vive la difference!

LOL, viva la difference yeah!!! if we all thought and felt the same, how boring would that be, we want and need variety to spice and mix up

yeah baby

You know, I felt it was wrong when I typed it, but the spell checker missed it, and a google search actually found it and recognised it for what I thought it meant.
eg: "clantily scad Naomi Watts" and "nothing like the sight of a clantily clad beautiful woman"

I still felt it was wrong, and have since realised it should have been Scantily.

I just found this quote via google:

OK

But what am I going to do now...... suppose i'd better go in and do the dishes..

You've been here too long mate. Staring at all those clantily scad beech boobes has clearly addled your brain!

Grammar, the grammar here winds me up. I saw when out biking the other day stickers attached to the 'bicycles only' signs saying 'Skater's excepted'. That wound me up exactly who is Skater and what does Skater have that is excepted? I'm so tempted to go out with a pot of tippex and take out the apostrophe.

And why do they put semi-colons after bullet point lists? doesn't the whole thing of a bullet pointed list put the parsing in there?

And it does make my life crap because I have to review reports with that in it

Still, whenever I feel as if I am starting to get wound up I just sit back in my chair, look out the window at the blue sky and think which beach to go to this weekend

That reminds me, do you know if they ever caught that guy called Bill Stickers, and if he ever was prosecuted ?

Hardly any around the Lagoon in Cairns. They must have bought their bikinis at a 50% off sale. Obviously the top half was off
