Oh and by the way, don't be so snidey to people like Wendy. She is quite possible one of the nicest, least vindictive people on this site and you may want her advice one day.
I am not annalysing just inquisitive I have heard alot about of peoples negative experiences , and as all of you say you cannot know how your life will be like, until you live it there...............so all the negative posts people make, may not be true for me, thats why i would like to see all the positve posts too.........its nice to see what has worked out for people and why............it makes a change from hearing all the bad stuff and experiences doesnt it?

Cher-ching! You win a prize

Y'see the subtle difference between someone with strong opposing views and a troll is that a troll will ignore any attempts at reason (because they have no reasoning ability) and plough-on regardless hoping to reel-in the unsuspecting.

Of course, the troll's standard defence is to shout "I'm not a troll, none of you want to hear my views, how dare you" and this may gain some short-term support, then the splits will start to appear between previously united posters and the job is done.

The worst thing you can do is to get sucked-in and try to reason because the troll just don't give a monkey's and it's a waste of effort.

Cats man, they think of nothing but themselves.

The internet, mmmmmarvellous innit?

Cheers,
Vim

This is one weird thread. Apart from the obvious of course, I replied - and a very intelligent reply it was, I've just had a look back and it's not there and I know it was before Maybe it was positive in a negative way and so was dismissed. I even said I didn't want olives on mine.

I have said Australia is MY home, not the UK. Is that bad then

Why would I post on the 'why I'm going home' thread, when I'm already home in AUSTRALIA


I've had enough Pizza, anyone for beer instead.

Well. Australia called. She was trying to pull me.

I went to Australia by plane, to Perth, Western Australia to be exact.

After 2 weeks of sightseeing around here, I got a job. Ye see, i needed to pay me rent et al,

anyway fast forward 3 years. Am still here and I love her as she loves me. we even have a little australian girl too.
