Hilarious, I had completely forgotten that we ever considered Perth as a destination
Oh that seems such a very long time ago now!

Mine was about whether to ship or sell and buy new when we got here.

Not that exciting or life changing ... what I did notice though was that some members who are on here still were more light hearted back then

What does THAT mean??

I hope you shouted at him for being rude and unhelpful, asked him his time line and told him he should be a woman

I like Polly's. So funny to see someone who is now the "go-to person" on here appear so fresh-faced and naive.

I had to look. Couldn't remember that far back. Actually amusing - the first was regarding sponsorship, the second about shopping and the third was about IT job help. 4 years on and not much has changed

My first post was originally in the Newbie section that used to be on here and was incredibly boring and in a weird font

Himself didn't get either of the jobs mentioned in the post and it was a further 14 months before we got to Australia (although only another 7 months before he was offered a job in Brisbane, our 457 took an age to be granted - we always seem to submit visa applications just as huge backlogs develop and treble the processing times :sigh: )

Excellent thread

Here's mine (in my first incarnation):

I seem to recall I had a load of visa questions then I wandered into The Lounge and all bets were off

Like a stuck record

There are a lot of running themes there, only my attitude to Craig David has mellowed ... but only because he is so forgettable.
