Good point!

Temper, temper. Silly little man.

Hmmm, insightful and considered! Do you think that because you have lots of little stars next to your name and joined in 2002 that it gives you the platform to patronise and insult others?

What is it with this site, which should be about sensible opinion and guidance, that lends itself so well to ego and insult?

People like you turn up and are so easily cranked. Enjoy UNB, Fredericton is a beautiful campus

Perhaps

Have you spent much time in Fredericton? We are hoping to go this September but problems with selling our flat are making it look tricky. May have to defer for 12 months or rent it out but yes, it is a beautiful campus and I can't wait, be it in 5 or 19 months!

I am going there again in July. I have only been to NB a few times. UNB is very relaxed, small Masters cohorts, which I liked. They have an online M.Ed program, which is why I looked there in the first place, as I couldn't leave here.

Yes, the relaxed aspect of UNB, and Fredericton in general, is why we want to move there. Are you in the teaching profession at the moment?

I am hoping to move into some form of literary/editorial/journalistic position post-graduation and the course seems to be generally well thought of so I am hopeful it will be a good experience.

No, I am a social worker over here. I somehow managed to accumulate the pre-req's for this particular type of M.Ed over the years, and so decided to finally make use of them. UNB is very welcoming of students from other provinces, and upon the recommendation of a colleague in the school district here, I applied.

Ah, I see. Well, good luck with that and enjoy NB when you are next over, we loved it!

Long way to come from BC though. I presume it is not a regular trip?!

No, thankfully, it's not a regular trip. I had enough of Air Canada as it is these days, and they are pretty much it for airline options, here to there. Well, I must go and walk the hound, before he eats my children.

No problem. Apologies for the broohaha earlier also.

We flew with Air Canada and, defying all expectations, they were excellent. I am led to believe it may be a one off....

All the best, Ben

It's bleedin well imply innit, ya bunch of gibbering orangeyungtangues

I knew agreeing with rich was going to be a one-off. It's impute like the farmer said. Although the original is an 'orrible sentence.

I know this isn't what you want to hear, but you could follow the same path as myself. I left school at 16 and joined the Army with only medicore GCSE's. Like you I 'clicked' educationally at the age of about 22. I completed Open University courses helping me in my new career after leaving the army. Finally I completed the OU MBA and this formed the backbone of my application to gain access to Canada.

This is a long term option but it is a satisfying option, plus you are young and have plenty of time to emigrate.

Hope that helps.

benjy25 and Dingbat, when you both arrive give me a shout! We live on the southern outskirts of Fredericton (10km from the City Centre).

Seems like the word is spreading regarding Fredericton I have a pile of people coming over this year! If there is anything I can to do help you before arrival let me know
