mmmm quite a few of our comms ratings end up working with the SRR and SBS so quite possible but in this case it's simply having a "home life" mobile and a "shagging (black ops)", mobile.

Can it be that it was all so simple then
or has time rewritten every line? If we had the chance to do it all again tell me would we? Could we? As Barbra Streisand says, if you could do it all again......would you? Emigrate that is........ |

If I was in the process of moving to Australia at the moment the results in this poll might be a bit of a shock to the system. Only just over the 50% mark think it was a good move. A surprisingly, at least to me, low number.
I'm in the yes category and join the "wish I did it earlier" camp. Yes I would do some things differently but hindsight always arrives too late to be useful. :D |

I'm positive I wouldn't have done it if I had read a few threads like this. As it was I had some concerns and was relying on friends that had moved down here 2 years before us to give us feed back. They were really working on us to come down and for the most part said all my concerns were baseless and that they were "living the life" Not long after we got here the truth started coming out, they hated the place. And a year and half later they pulled the pin. And for the most part all my concerns had a lot of merit but by then it was too late. The numbers aren't a shock to me. When I meet immigrants face to face (maybe it's because for the most part am very candid and say what I really think and it gives them license to say what's on they heart... idunno...) I rarely hear someone say that they love the place. Most agree that the country is spectacular but for the most part the people and the working life leave a lot to be desired. |
