I post on here to escape housework.... Well known fact

I got a hell of a lot of info and advice from here before immigrating... And I like to help those on their way...

I enjoy the banter

I used to post a lot on here due to working nights and the impact that had on "human" interaction during my "waking hours"

I am currently swatting up for an interview by doing online study packages

I apologise for flicking back anf forth to give my brain a break

Now why not disappear under your bridge and wait for the next billy goat that comes trip trapping across this thread

Not much space under the bridge at present, must get in there sometime and clear out all the rabble......

I suppose some people who couldn't hack it isn the UK may feel better off here....but that says more about them than either country

Why do people who are happy here suddenly morph into people who couldn't hack it in the UK. For an intelligent, educated man you do come out with some
utter shite!

We all have downers mate....

I can't complain to my mates in the uk about how much work there is involved in maintaining a pool... Cleaning it, balancing it, skimming it, setting the filter thing for the right time of year, pool covers on, pool covers off.... sweeping the poured limestone.. All so we can use it 8 months of the year when ever we want...

Jeez... Can you imagine how that kind of whinge would be recieved back in Blighty, with economic crisis, half my friends under wage freezes for the next three years, a fair number unemployed and employers demanding a kilo and a half of flesh coz they're not allowed to use poundS and they still cant work out how much a kilo is in old money....

No, I don't love everything about Australia but for as long as the good outweighs the bad I'll make do. If the dislike side of the list ever gets longer than the like I'll know it's time to move on.

Perhaps it is time to click the heels of those ruby red shoes 3 times and say....(we all say together now).....there's no place like home, ..

The internet and social networking are part of modern day life. To suggest there is a correlation between how happy an individual is and how many posts they have on BE doesn't make sense to me.

Anyway ...... Back to the thread ....... Channel 9 - there can't be a worse TV channel out there. The amount of bad commercials they thrust down your throat, the awful bogan attracting rubbish like A current affair, the characters they wheel out, like Karl Steponwhatevervic, and expect, even demand you take them into your home. It's a disgrace.

5 pages later ... A perfect sunny day outside, rockets to be fired into the air, a sociable lunchtime BBQ to be enjoyed then some sporting action to take me into the evening.

See ya laters!

Why would I do that? Where did I say I was unhappy here?

...and why do some supposedly happy people like you come across as so angry and bitter all the time:confused:

If a gave a flying fluck about what you think I might i could get upset by a post like that......but I don't so I won't:)

So now you can crawl back under your bridge for another year or so and continue with your vacuous lifestyle wherever it is you live.....probably Perth judging by the intelligence you displayed in your earlier post:lol:

A very good question and one I have pondered.
