Get kicked out of charm school did we?

Strange - not seen much evidence of it so far. In fact I'm staggered that you manage to operate a computer.

Backwardness or rude ingrates with a chip on their shoulder. Pretty sure I know which I prefer.

Thanks for telling me what I think, when you have absolutely no clue what I think or feel about Australia.

You say that like it's a bad thing. :rofl:

Make sure your minder knows where you are.

Well, three things. Firstly, you're not even a British Expat so what are you even doing here? Secondly, if you love the UK so much, why are you posting on a forum for a group of people you're not a part of? Thirdly, the only justification is coming from the Lord High Whingebag herself.

I'll bet - that and pretty plastic windmills - and balloons - and pink fairy dresses?

I'm justifying jack shit. This thread was about the fact that the world's full of whining babies who struggle to manage unless everything's handed to them on a plate. And all I've seen so far is a load of whining babies .... whining.

Re: whingers and whiners
 

It could just be me but your last couple of posts in this thread don't do you any justice at all Hutch. You come across as extremely childish, not at all what I've come to expect from a former journalist:thumbdown:
I hope this isn't the "new you":rolleyes:

Re: whingers and whiners
 

Then you clearly haven't been reading the forums very closely. If I'm coming across as childish then I must have raised the reading age a decade, because compared to the usual drivel on this site I sound like a retired Oxbridge professor.

Still, I'll bear it in mind and just make shit loads of jokes about knobs and tits next time.

Re: whingers and whiners
 

Well look who didn't read the post "closely" I clearly said "your last couple of posts in this thread"

However it's nice to see you have such a high opinion of yourself, unfortunately it's not your opinion of yourself that counts:embarrassed_smile:

Your sounding like a prat & from the feedback coming my way I obviously wasn't alone in that thought:thumbdown:

I've left nice easy paragraph breaks between my sentences to make it easier for you to tear apart my post sentence by sentence:rolleyes:

Re: whingers and whiners
 

sadieb? is that the "i-hate-living-in-backward-australia-but-i'm-going-to-become-an-aus-citizen" sadieb?

ho ho.

Re: whingers and whiners
 

because Australia is really rubbish, and we've got nothing better to do with our time than post on this forum ! and wish we were back in the uk !

that, and also because it is a good forum, informative and (at times like these) entertaining.

Re: whingers and whiners
 

one more point I'd like to make, just in case this thread gets closed...

I have a sneaking suspicion that ABCDiamond really is Anne Diamond.

Re: whingers and whiners
 

And because if those that have been and gone back are still posting whilst being as happy as a pig in shit that they are back then why shouldn't the rest of us :D

Re: whingers and whiners
 

:thumbup: and nobody's is forced to stay if they are given the option of free will they can choose which ever country there passport or visa will allow them in.

Re: whingers and whiners
 

So far I've had that whingebag earlier calling me an idiot and now you're calling me a prat. Remind me who it was that sounds like a child? :rofl:

Oh and by the way, feedback goes both ways matey - not everyone shares your views.

Re: whingers and whiners
 

May I suggest you go back & re read your posts in this thread. I'm sure you'll find the answer to your question within them.
You've changed your style mate, a lot of people have noticed the change. I don't know why perhaps you can enlighten us?
I used to look forward to reading your posts they were witty & articulate & a valuable contribution to the site.
These days you resort to knocking out crap like post 35 & post 41 they simply aren't worthy of your considerable talent & yes I stand by the above comment, they do make you sound like a prat. Your correct you may as well resort to tits & arse jokes your down at that level now :unsure:
I'm not taking the other posters side, quite the opposite in fact. I'm just saddened that you've resorted to the above:(

Re: whingers and whiners
 

Yes, we are lucky to live in such a great country with a strong economy. We just have to make sure that our government doesn't destroy it - like the present one is trying to do with their left-wing agenda.

I have never understood, or ever will, why some people willingly live here yet hate it. At least those who have tried it, didn't like it and gone back and are happy with their decision (that some then try and tell people on here how crap Australia is, is another story). If you are not happy here, move to somewhere that you are happy. Simple really.

Re: whingers and whiners
 

I think most people who know me will be shaking their heads and wondering what you're on about. Nothing's changed with me, except perhaps an unwillingness to watch people write such utter bollocks and letting it go unchallenged.

Re: whingers and whiners
 

I assume you're referring to the Resources Super Tax, which is about to destroy our way of life?


Last time I checked, the only people who were up-in-arms about this new tax, were the executives and employees of resources companies....Hence their need to hastily put together a $100m propaganda warchest, producing radio ads saying things like "its just common sense - if you increase tax on raw materials, then everything else will go up too" :rofl::rofl:


Pretty sure that everyone else in Australia thinks that this tax is a great decision. :thumbup:

Re: whingers and whiners
 

I don’t know how you worked that out. I loved the UK, and any other country I’ve lived in. I hate Australia though.

I'm here because I have to be at the moment, I can put up with it for a while, and knowing it's not for life makes it easier.

Re: whingers and whiners
 

What - you mean folk sitting in shiny offices in Perth, who by their very own admission get paid top whack for often doing very little working for companies that sell bits of (our) Australia to the world. How dare you rock the apple cart - socialist!

Or did you mean that fat liar Clive Jabba Palmer?

Probably both. :thumbup:

Re: whingers and whiners
 

I think you need to do some more research. News articles I read on the weekend said that it could lose KRudd the election. Labour has a 9 seat majority, they are probably going to lose 2-3 seats in WA, 4 seats in Qld, and 3-4 in SA. That's an election loss.

I'm not going to debate the RSPT on here as there has been too much shite written/said about it - from both sides. The way that KRudd and co have announced this - without consultation, and it seems, much thought is really bad. This, and all their other backflips and dithering may have cost them re-election.

Re: whingers and whiners
 

Sorry, I actually didn't mean that the way you have taken it, and I can see how you could have misinterpreted what I said.

I did not mean to imply that anyone who loved the UK would love Australia.

My point was that whingers and moaners about the UK, who then move to Australia, are likely to be whingers and moaners about Australia, whereas people who were not whingers and moaners in the UK are not likely to be whingers and moaners here.

In other words, the whinging and moaning comes from within, not from external influences.

Dr Buzzy. Professor of emigration psychology. :D

Re: whingers and whiners
 

I seem to remember a time when neither us let a single sentence from one another go unchallenged.

"Nice weather today"...
"No it bloody well isn't"..
"Well I think it is"
"Well you're a bloody Aussie Godzoner, so you always think it's nice"

Ahhh.. happy days. :D

Re: whingers and whiners
 

I must be an exception then, coz I think I whinge about Australia a bit, but never whinged about anywhere else, lol.

In reality I know it’s not that bad here, it’s just not my type of place :p

Re: whingers and whiners
 

I 've always imagined you as an immature student but you really have the mind of a nasty wee petulant child. Didn't your mummy love you enough?
You have a nasty habit of "ripping in" to people in a forensic manner which is quite vile.
I suppose I don't doubt that you are reasonably intelligent but I do believe you are not really happy-Possibly stuck in Australia?

Re: whingers and whiners
 

Indeed - the prosecution acknowledges the witness and places his testimony on the public record. :lol:

Didn't you winge a lot and then move back to the yookay? Blimey, life must be just peachy if you need to visit a forum for British Expats. Looking for some justification for the move back perhaps? Tell you what - I was listening to a BBC podcast in the car this morning and they were saying that the British economy will go through similar issues to that of Greece. Do you plan on riotting? :thumbup:

Re: whingers and whiners
 

tut, tut... :thumbdown:

Re: whingers and whiners
 

What's the matter - don't you agree with rioting? Or were you pointing out my typo? :D

Me too but don't tell the pretend mick

Re: whingers and whiners
 

Until they realise what it represents:thumbdown:

Tall poppy officials and what industry is next?

Home sellers?
House builders?
The banks?
Medical (and the implications for the ill?) think insurance companies, medical providers?
Utilities?


See a high income industry and tax it - forced income equalisation will stunt growth. Ah well await the incoming govt:p

Re: whingers and whiners
 

I'll only riot if the proles come for my money. I actually see lots of oppertunities in the yookey at the moment.
Life is very peachy at the mo.Thanks for asking.
Aus is a pleasant memory to me but I just couldn't suffer your kind of delusional ,stranded migrant types or too many Aussies.
I felt lost and my lifestyle suffered too much.

Re: whingers and whiners
 

Does any else find it ironic that a thread on whingers and whiners seems to be full of them.

Re: whingers and whiners
 

Tall poppies are very nice but tall weeds are only in it for themselves.

Re: whingers and whiners
 

and thus the OP rests his case.

Re: whingers and whiners
 

I find it more ironic that it took 77 posts for the comment to be made ;)

Re: whingers and whiners
 

I agree but there is no point trying to debate it on here - you would be wasting your breath.
