Default Re: Please take a long holiday first.

i have said this before


WHY

before you think of leaving all you have......

you have to ask yourself "WHY"

you need to get really down to the "meaning of life" for you on a daily basis


it's a very expensive exercise and as you can see not for all

i think the image of australian life as sold in UK is not like the real thing

having been here 20 years...it's changed

i can see why many people struggle
especially regarding family

if you can't live without your family don't leave them

if you have to live without them

try not to get too upset

my mum goes back to UK in two days and i am really sad

but we keep in touch

and i cherish the time we have together

Yes it was unexpected and in fairness deserved, it just goes to show that the top brass will listen and take appropriate action, I like that here, no faffing about.

Seems your neck of the woods have learned a lesson and value our contribution, would have preferred a welcome meet and greet, less hassle and stress with a pitch ready and waiting as it shows a bit of TLC

No it didn't go over my head. I fully understand what the poster was doing however I personally would rather see 100 posts like that than 1 of your nasty efforts.

There are tons of migrant support centres here in Oz. They dont provide housing etc but can be quite a good resource for newcomers.

I am thankful that we dont have the useless community support one sees in N America, supported by local business, designed to line their own pockets in the guise of the "welcome wagon"..............

Its like having a door to door sales person from every local business show up at your door invading your privacy.

Must you always try and make yourself feel better by belittling the intelligence of others? It's really getting boring.

Your veiled insults are no better. Perhaps you should read it yourself.

welcome wagon...allegedly...back in the UK a work colleague of my OH was selling her car, it was eventually sold to a migrant who paid by Social Security cheque, the mobile phone he used to call her was also supplied to help him get work as getting the bus proved too expensive, now this is not an isolated example and I would expect that these benefits would have to be paid back, but hey thats supportive isn't it

all aboard!!!You can't beat that sponsorship deal!!
