Who is sick of the same questions.... ?
 
When are you going?

Are you still here?

Have you got a date yet?

Have you exchanged contracts?

Where has all your stuff gone?

Are your scared?

Are you excited?

How do your mum's feel?

Repeating the same answers over and over and over and over ....
I feel like typing out stock answers and handing then out to save my energy for something more productive......like watching the c$!!!

  • Can you get marmite
  • Should I pay for a consultant
  • Wheres the best place to live
  • How do I find a job.....
  • Do I need 4x4
  • When do I use a block heater
  • I dont have my PR card, what should I do


Did I miss any? I know I must have...

The one from english people I meet who learn that we're off to Canada is "Why do you want to go to Canada?". "Like Australia and New Zealand still exist why don't you go there?" The answer can get very complex so I mostly say "because it's closer and we have very old parents who might snuff it quite soon".

On iaink's point, I have a lot more patience with anyone new to this site (as we ALL were at some time) they will almost certainly have questions they want answered immediately, not everyone at first will know about search facilities and the like, and there are the people with technophobia of course. And anyway this site wouldn't exist without these people, so let's here it for the newbies, give them the clap!

Internet connections duh! Viruses? Heard of them? Same principle.
And of course having partners who are a bit 'iffy' in the sexual department.
