Imagine if war Brides had taken the same attitude, sounds like a whole lot of feeling sorry for one self, my way or the highway, as a man I would say, take the highway, how can a man still call himself a man when given an ultimatum???

Err, I think a lot of them did. Where do you think the term "Dear John letter" originated?

Happily, never heard such a bunch of whining and complaining, I guess after the best left, all that remained was the Rest.

Go away. Your comments are not nice and not welcome here. You have been told by a moderator so go speak your poison elsewhere.

Howard: this forum is for people wanting to move back to the UK and for those who can offer positive help and advice. It seems you do not fit into either of these categories...you only seem to be annoying people...therefore can you please refrain from posting in the UK forums.
I think you could tell him that till you are blue in the face...but he just can't get it into his head....

That's a lot more polite than what most people are thinking, I'm guessing. :curse:

Feeling "traitorous" was also something I felt - God only knows what I thought I was depriving the country of! Definitely talk the situation through with your wife, a problem shared is a problem halved.

i have developed quite a hatred to this place and feel isolated. i should go back, but my wife doesnt really know i feel this way.

living here is like living on mars...australia misses out on so much.

in the uk u can jump on a plane and with in 3 hours be in anyone of about 15 different countries (at least)...here though, it takes 3 hours to get to its closest neighbour--NZ.

/rant
thanks for listening
This post is so true. Life on Mars... that is exactly how it is for me.

I'm not ashamed, but i am now feeling abit of a traitor and foolish.

Your comments are about as constructive and beneficial as an impotent penis in a fertility clinic.

Shut up and stop upsetting people, you have no idea of how they are feeling and therefore, should refrain from quite a few of your comments.
