So, have you gone back home yet? What with all the whinging, most people would expect you to have left Australia long ago - but I'll bet you're still there!

Sexual pleasure.

It's the only rise he and his mates on the investment forum get.

Cos he thinks that anyone who actually enjoys living here is deluded for liking anything about Australia & he sees himself as the saviour of their soul from hellfire & damnation.

Either that or he's a malicious, nasty & spiteful troll who has nothing better to do in his sad miserable life than to post crap stories on an internet forum to hopefully make someone doubt their decision that they have made about moving to a new country.

I know which one I choose .

If I recall correctly, when he lived in the Blue Mountains he was abducted by aliens and taken to their space shape. They did something to him but he can't remember exactly what.
