Lucky guess here but did the Aussies have a "problem" with your sense of humour?

I've just had a word with the pope and he's okay with Wendy's beatification.


(He's even agreed to waive that thing about being dead. Or even Catholic )

Actually I just got up, didn't realise I'd caused such cyber mayhem with my little post - whoops.

I hated the nazi-nationalistic 'if you don't like it leave' rubbish so was more a poke in the ribs to the aussies who actually believe Australia is utopia. The extreme reaction from some ex pats is another thing - it usually mean they would rather go back to UK but are stuck in Oz for some reason (eg Northern Bird for instance).

You have got to be kidding. I spent 4 years overseas and was forced to return to the UK when my husband lost his job. I vowed 4 years ago when I landed at LHR that I would make sure I left my hell hole of a life and live anywhere else but my little part of the UK. I am sure where you are is lovely but it wouldn't work for us as its too far away from London or a decent airport.

You're a class act. You don't like Aus so everyone else must be lying if they like Aus. Those grapes sure are sour

He did mention something about it before, but then he said something about canons

Oh yeah I forgot. He said something about keeping you daily post below 20 a day but I might have misheard him and he was talking about a bet on the gee-gees

If you click on a username it say's go to profile...go there and it tells you how many posts they have and how many they have on Average per day since they joined.


See, this is why I have so many.

Warning....... Huge, massive, pointless generalisation alert

I don't know any Aussies who consider Australia to be Utopia. You mix or mixed with the wrong people.

Ta.

I have a measly 1.51 average. Obviously i have a wonderful life outside of BE - either that or I have nothing to say when reading most posts! But then neither do many of the posters themselves
