Why do you bother?
 
You've made the move.
You're all settled.
Why do you come on here?

Agree with Vim, it's raining outside but I like it wet inside.

Probably the same reason as you. You make friends, you want to keep in touch.

Quiet moments...varies from time to time...for quite a few years we have been very busy with pre-schoolers...it's not as if we are out partying every night - thank God...there is also a twisted fascination with...British expatriates...I have learnt more about my fellow countrymen since I moved to Australia than I did before I moved...it's a fascination viewed from a safe distance...

They never, ever cease to amaze me. In fact, it's been quite illuminating.

I doubt it, I spend way too much time on here to be social with real people.
