Obviously couldnt keep away.
 

I first joined in 2004, landed in 2005, moved in 2007 and possibly left the forum in late 2008/early 2009. I absolutely loved the forum in the early days of my emigration experience, but I am afraid I got a wee bit jaded! Divorced Dad got banned for no reason, Judy from Calgary left, Biiiink was nowhere to be seen and the lone voice of reason appeared to be Iain K! However.....I have lurked for the last month and thought I may as well rejoin.
So, what I like about my move to London, Ont, Canada........my house, my friends ( yes, it is possible to have good, genuine friends in Canada - just like in the UK!) the summer - we have a pool, and it has been so much fun, my husband being retired from the police, and being so much more chilled out!
What I dont like.....( actually my not like list is a wee bit pathetic) Canadian TV is pants ( The forum had already warned me!) the fact that mobile phone contracts are a complete rip off! ( also knew this from the forum!) I love my part time job, but hate that you can be crap at your job, but the fact you have "seniority" makes sure you get anything you apply for!! ( I am unionised). So basically, glad we moved, and so far, so good!
So, hello again!

I haven't a clue who you are but if you think that Iain is the only reasonable person amongst us then you must think the rest of us are unreasonable.

I'll do my best to live up to your expectations.

No I dont, that is why I am back. I just said, I got a bit jaded......

Re: Obviously couldnt keep away.
 

You are so kind, thank you.

Re: Obviously couldnt keep away.
 

Well hello who ever you are :)

Re: Obviously couldnt keep away.
 

It's just that you love your house and pool and you have Canadian friends and that you think this is interesting.

You were a bit jaded?

Re: Obviously couldnt keep away.
 

Accept my apologies. I obviously was unaware that you had to post interesting things. Sorry.

Re: Obviously couldnt keep away.
 

Out of interest, what is it you like about London?

Re: Obviously couldnt keep away.
 

There's no hard and fast rule about it.

Which is a pity.

Re: Obviously couldnt keep away.
 

Trees, ( Forest City). The fact that it is a city but everyone seems to know everyone else. It is close to our relatives in Michigan and Illinois. Easy to get to the UK and easy for UK family to visit us. My best friend emigrated here at the age of 10 and I have been coming here since I was a teenager. It suits me because of stuff like that. Nothing fancy! It just suits me.

Re: Obviously couldnt keep away.
 

You appear to post some drivel at times. So why so critical? I honestly have no wish to appear on someones hit list. I just wanted to say hi I am back, I like living in Canada. Apparently I hit a nerve because I have friends and a pool? Wow. That was really not my intention. I should have left out those parts maybe. So hello. I like living in Canada, full stop.

Re: Obviously couldnt keep away.
 

I have some friends and a pool too. I see no reason to start a thread about it.

I like living in Canada too.

See? We have a great deal in common.

Re: Obviously couldnt keep away.
 

My thread was not about having friends and a pool. I really am sorry that you seem to think it was.

Re: Obviously couldnt keep away.
 

That sir is a matter of opinion.

Re: Obviously couldnt keep away.
 

I give up. I am sorry I even posted and upset so many people!
That really was not my intention.
This must be the shortest membership ever!

Re: Obviously couldnt keep away.
 

Who have you upset?

Re: Obviously couldnt keep away.
 

<wonders who that was> .... anybody know? :unsure:

FWIW I don't think you upset anyone ... they're just being their usual pernickity selves.

Glad you like living in Canada anyway! I'd stay away from this silly forum if I were you ... I'd stay away if I we me too really, but I think I'm an addict. :banghead:

Re: Obviously couldnt keep away.
 

But you live in London, Ont. Hopefully the pool goes someway to compensate.

Re: Obviously couldnt keep away.
 

Soo hard sometimes to STEP AWAY FROM THE KEYBOARD - -actually I like to see what Novo and DBD post to wind people up = well not like - but it draws you in . . .
any way .. I wasnt upset and I am glads yr happy here - I am getting there after a really shitty month. In fact it is my Canniversary on Thursday!

Re: Obviously couldnt keep away.
 

Congratulations Carrie. Hope you feel as happy again in another year ++++
To the OP, I dont think you should justify your happiness, its great you are happy.
And if you or anyone else is lucky enough to have a pool, well Nice One cos I'd really like one:thumbup:

Re: Obviously couldnt keep away.
 

What's London's climate like?

I'm trying to build a list of the slightly warmer places in Canada....besides BC...

Re: Obviously couldnt keep away.
 

Good to hear Carrie :wub: and congrats ( i can't believe its a year ) :thumbsup:

Agree with you its so good to hear someone is happy out there :D
Maybe its something to do with the area in which people live, but i have noticed quite a lot of people turn negative on here over the past few years,

Re: Obviously couldnt keep away.
 

OP has asked to have her account closed. Therefore I am closing this thread.
