Re: Why is everyone so serious ?
 

(Tee hee..)
I barely read them. Most of the recce threads in particular are often about fairly easy wins like getting phonecards, TRU and TFN and God knows what else numbers. I can count the number of truly enlightening recces on the palm of me hands in all the 8 years or so I have been bludging...BuzzieBee is always helpful.

hmm..not very long at all!:thumbup:

If truth be told, I tended to ignore *some* of the classic negative comments because I saw them as not applying - and never did. Sure enough, time told on them.

Another truth, it's often easier pretending to not like some aspects of Australia - it makes it all go down a lot easier on the boards..ahem!

There's nothing wrong with the UK. The only 'problem' is the perception some people have of their lives there. I get seriously hacked off with people who tell me it's going to the dogs or down the pan or wherever. It's not. Your life may have been shite there but that's not down to the country, it's down to your life. I love Aus but my life has been fairly shite for the past couple of years. I also love the UK and my life was pretty good there. I'm not daft enough to blame a country for my problems. Life's a bitch sometimes wherever you are.

If your life is all sunshine here then bully for you. You're obviously not reading the right posts, or you are reading the right ones but you're 'reading' them wrong - it's down to personal perception again.

Why come on here, bitch about how people post and ask why you still post? If you don't like it, don't come on here. If you want to come on here but want ''cheerier' threads (other than the ones you're missing) start some yourself. It's not down to others to entertain you. That's down to you.

I had a brief look at the OP's other 15 posts of pure wisdom (from April 2010 ...) and decided I really can't be arsed to argue the toss.

Rainham ... My deepest sympathies, I 'lived' out at Hoo for a year or so ...

F'king happy families, go randomly apeshit just to show them, you have an excuse to, being a woman and all.

I tried that, they just looked at me as though my other head was showing and carried on doing what they were doing.:lol:

Re: Why is everyone so serious ?
 

How about 'I think <random person> should come and live with us for a while'?

Or 'I've got some plans for the house'.

Or just a random 'We need to talk' and then say nothing for a few days.

That should f'k with their heads. :sneaky:

They're not and they don't??:eek:

They do here. Well Koalas still aren't bears but Kangaroos do jump around the garden.

Many people come on this site to basically get some advice, a few pointers in the right direction but quite often all you get is negative vibes from most people, there are some that give some good advice but not many. on many points I agree with what the OP has stated. According to some of the moderators moving to Australia is a big mistake and is just full of doom and gloom.
Lets get something straight anyone looking at Australia through tinted glasses are fools, every country has its problems to various levels.
Being English, I am patriotic, but quality of life in the UK has slipped down very sharply in the last twenty years, Anyone going for a quiet pint in ANY town in UK has to watch their back, the prisons are so full knife crimes and rape are classed as petty crimes now, might get a year or 2, anything else a slapped wrist if we are lucky, a lot of towns have no go areas after certain times even for the police, the thought of having public barbecues anywhere let alone in big cities like Brisbane and Perth is only a dream, within a day or 2 they would be wrecked or used as drug dens in the UK.
Lets talk about immigration, I know when I arrive in Australia, if I do not work I will not get paid, I will not get free health care, I will not be entitled to pensions or any benefits until I have worked for at least 2 years, if I do not fit the bill at the airport I will be put on the next flight, unlike here in the UK as soon as they step of the plane they are giving free house, benefits the lot, if they have children back in their own country they are entitled to more benefits,and because of Blairs idea to open the doors to everyone, the country is now crippled, the once proud NHS is slowly dying, the retirement age has now been increased because they can not afford to pay the pensions. We have faceless unelected EEC bureaucrats ruling us.
The op mentioned about nothing being exported being British made, many of the typically British companys , Rolls Royce, British steel, Cadburys are not British owned, I want to leave the UK not because I hate the country, but because of how it is being run, the country has had it.

Complete rubbish

Re: Why is everyone so serious ?
 

The use of a public BBQ as a 'drug den' is intriguing one ... I can see how they can be superficially likened to spoons but I would question whether there would be sufficient heat there, it's worth a crack (ha!) though.
