Sorry Arkon - I do like you(!)

I have less time for those that go on about the crap TV and who are irritated by the accent because I find those arguments slightly daft but each to their own.
If you are not intelligent enough to argue a point without name calling then quite honestly you are more Australian than I thought.

Knob Envy - I think you need to talk to my wife. I do hate being able to refute people's jibes(!)

Unfortunately when you (global ) are in a certain place emotionally, you don't see the whole picture.

You have no idea who I am or what I do and as I said before it is clearly your lack of education and breeding that means you cannot put across a valid argument and have to stoop to personal insults.
You are just a plain and simple nasty piece of work.

Im afraid i fail to undersand sarcasm because as you have wrongly stated ,i am indeed educated and wouldnt dare use it .
I must admit personal insults are disgusting but when one is dealing with something disgusting im afraid personal insults is all that is understood .

Unfortunately some people start their sad posts very aggressively and incur negative comments by the bucketload. But as I said, if you write expecting sh*t, you will find it even when the overall post is positive. Human nature.

Something those thinking of coming here really need to think about if they like their UK christmas's, Oh and easters too. IT JUST AIN'T THE SAME!
(And before a muppet replies, 'ooooooow but your in another country what did you expect, you have to adapt to their way' blah blah blah.... Well so what, I didn't recce over xmas and even if I did I would have been in holiday mode, then after 3 years to get a visa there was no way shite xmas's would have put me off)
Santa got stuck up the chimny because he couldn't pull a bird, his p*b*s got stuck around his plums and all the kiddies heard...'pull me out or you'll get nowt you nasty load of pr***S'....F*** your toys the kids replied and pelted the C*** with bricks.........
