Let me tell you, it's take a lot of hard work and dedication to be an arsehole and I'm always learning. It's not a role I take lightly....

I'll have to take your word for that ;)

Re: Name and shame time.

Fraser and Bordy - thanks!! Lots of help and really nice people :)

Swings by occasionally to sing the praises of Harpenden to the heavens and to slag off Oz and everyone that lives here. :D

Re: Name and shame time.

"jac16" and her husband.

They arrived in Brisbane with their two little ones a few days before JTL and I did. We booked into a serviced apartment near the city and when we arrived at the building the caretaker was out. One of the residents let us in and while we were there waiting, I heard some English lady talking and it was "jac16" with whom we had brief online contact on BE before flying out of the UK. We were invited into their apartment while waiting for our apartment to be ready.

We haven't been in touch for a while now. I hope they're just enjoying their life too much to get online. :)

Mrs JTL

Re: Name and shame time.

Cas and Carl were both very nice to me when we arrived. Sadly we have lost touch a bit.

Knowing we had at least one person we could turn to if things got too confusing made a massive difference to a potentially tough time and we're both grateful. :o

She's also really good fun now we're here and has introduced us to people like Julia and Pat who have also been great and treated us like extended family.

Thanks to all of them :thumbsup:

Ah, you're both very welcome. It's nice to have you in our little family :thumbup:

For me it was Pat and Julia that made me feel at home here right from the start. Pat is my Mum's cousin so is family but I hadn't really met her much before coming here - she is wonderful though and we could never repay all the great things she has done for us.

What can I say about Julia - well she is just fabulous and the best friend a girl could have.

Hells teeth, how do stranger :D You guys were brilliant before we got here and for validation and for after we were here. Didn't bother mentioning you, thought you wouldn't see it. How the devil are you and Mrs and the two angels?
