Being patient with "Compulsive" whingers
That is Whinging for the sake of Whinging, not the odd grumple (hmm apple crumble tonight, see how easily I get distracted by food) If we didn't have a little whinge once in a while we would all go mad. |

SE England is like that too - superficially friendly but very cliquey

Here's an interesting little fact. If you had said "Australia" in that post, it would have been the 999th time you had done so.

You're just normal by the looks of things :)
The expat meets can be a bit overwhelming. I attended a poms in oz meetup 2+ years ago and found it mostly good. Still have a few friends to this day that I'm in contact with from that meet. Had a few individual/family meets and only one has clearly proven to be a true friend from start to now. The rest? Well it's hard to tell. To survive, a friendship has to be consistent and a two way one in my book. :cool: How many times can you tell your story and discuss the same old same old..I haven't been to one in 9 years and went to one. But you shouldn't turn down an invite from someone local; unless you have good reason to. |

Aha ! If we're talking about expat meets then maybe.

But you shouldn't turn down an invite from someone local; unless you have good reason to. I absolutely agree with you about invites from locals. The life of a migrant is more enjoyable for those who assimilate. |

You know **** all about my life so keep your stupid comments to yourself. I have had a wonderful life and lived in 2 great countries. Love the mob mentality in here :lol:
If everybody has the same opinion about you, perhaps you might want to look to yourself, rather than the "mob"? |
