Aquamarine

He has gone to school with a sling (going for the injured soldier look - teenage image issues methinks!!) but I've told him I'm taking it off him tonight!!!! - Can you walk today, Pacey?? Sounds painful

Steve isn't Steve and doesn't scuba!! Gutted!! Who CAN scuba? It's top of my "to do" list as I love the water but I get vertigo snorkelling - HONEST!!!

yeah I have 5 years background but haven't worked in it for 3 years due to the uk market getting saturated! Engineering and construction are my backgrounds mainly. I've been told there's a very good market and the future is also strong, with good basic salary's and ote's over the 100K mark. My friend in NZ auckland is a consultant, and he made $170K in his first year!

Even from a sales background you'll find it very comfartable, one thing i will however point out is that you should shout about what you do and your achievments, if you dont then someone else will! it can be a dog eat dog world in recruitment so make sure your a fighter!!!

good luck pal and hopefully we'll catch a beer when we're down there.

are you going on a 457 sponsorship or WHV to start with?

hello today guys!

i'm walking ok thanks, v swollen, bit tender and circulation is a bit knackered, cold toes! hah but fine thank you!

but wait.. scuba steve is not called steve? this is big news. big, big news. I'm not sure i can trust someone who pretends to be a steve when they aren't a steve. O.M.G. hahah you're out of the circle of trust, buddy!

Aquamarine let your boy wear the sling, all the girls will nurse him & that's important for a young lad (actually it's important for older lads too. Wishing i had a nurse today!)

Well looks like a lot of us boys feeling the same about our gals, but if they aren't prepared to risk ANYTHING for us, how can we really be expected to trust that they care enough to stay with them? Mine hasn't fought to keep me one bit, and I'm a bloody catch! I'm confident - 100% confident - that we will forget all about it when we get out there and get on with our lives. And you all know that.

xzibit your skill assesment will work out fine matey, go for it.

And i have to say, Pom central or not, Coogee is a gorgeous suburb with everything going for it (for what i want, anyway)! So it'll do for a start! Only issue is it's pricey, especially for a poor graphic designer like me! no OTE here! Oh well, at least i can make us cool t-shirt prints for out snowsports/singles night clubs haha

speaking of which, i watched that ski sunday and they went to Thredbo, didn't see very much of it but they mentioned that it gets 700,000 visitors in season, so will be a bit rammed! But generally looking good for boarders, plenty of rails, jumps etc and it's quite high (2500m ish). Can't wait.

So to answer the query of when/where - Coogee, mid may. Will stay a week or so with my sis when i get there in the northern suburbs, depending on employment situation!

anyway that's me, time for an afternoon movie and a brew.. being off work in sydney would be so much nicer, i could get a tan for a start..

pacey

am i right that you work for adidas? or have i got you mixed up?

Scuba Steve

Oi, I invented this thread!!!! And you got to admit, Scuba Steve's pretty cool in the film. I can only aspire to be of the same calibre as that action figure.

paul30

god that would be nice although I'm still waiting for a CO But hopefully I'll be there by june or july and if I am the first out I'll have the beers chilled for the rest of you (but you'd have to stop by melbourne to take advantage)

paul30

sorry don'tn scuba would love to learn when I get over there as I loved snorkelling while there over christmas. my main thing is Powerkiting (looking forward to kite surfing) and paragliding

xzibit

I'm going to be the last one out, hoping to lodge my application by mid May, so I will probably be looking at this time next year I'd imagine.

paul30

don't worry we'll leave a light on for you

docgp

One step sloser to all those lovely ladies living in Oz. (Passed vetassess paper)

Decided that i aint going to Sydney to become a nice gentleman for the ladies, im sticking with Perth, heard a romour that the odds are 3-1 (f-m) on weekends,

to quote earlier threads, anyone want to be my wing man???? will except wing lady

pacey

well we know what your first fancy dress night outfit will be!

Scuba Steve

Going to a heaven and hell fancy dress this weekend actually, could do with some advice. On the shortlist are Hitler, Hussein, Harold Shipman or a nun.

xzibit

Congrats. Just filled my app out online. Got to get documents certified and then submit it all now.

pacey

Saddam is a good one, definately. The heaven figures are harder. I think Shipman is a bit dark, but if you want to go that route but with a heavenly slant then brylcream yor hair into a big side parting, put on a superman suit and find a wheelchair.

ouch!

or you could go current affairs and bring on the beadle.

AH! I'm really on a downer today!

Last night I was all geared up and excited about applying for Vetassess today. This morning I filled in the online form and have saved it just before the pay and submit part (as need to wait for Monday to pay), and I booked in for the solicitors tomorrow morning to have my docs certified, and I went and got some passport photos done (god I hate having my photo taken, although I look surprisingly good lol).

Now, for some reason I'm in the "why am I doing all this" mode, and "whats wrong with the uk" and I can't get out of it.

Just so annoying as I know I want to go ahead with it all, and I'll totally regret it if I don't but I hate the indecisiveness!!

I will force myself through it all, and then be ok again, but I hate it. It's the g/f I think. Wierd situation at the moment, I want to go, a bit apprehensive about leaving her here, although, she is possibly now up for coming over but she's not convinced on it yet etc etc.

Anyway, ignore me, I'm turning it into a Dear Deirdrie thread lol.
