Thank you kiwi-child

On a serious note though, I've talked over moving to NZ with the missus and we've decided we would both rather have bowel surgery in the wood with a stick than move even further into the dark ages. The conversation went something like this.....Honey would you like to emmigrate to NZ? F off you C not while I have a hole in my A*se! (I coloured it in for effect!)

I've never been to Aus or NZ but my Dad bought him for me while he was over there. I think he's covered in real fur too

But in all serious ness i think australia has some great countryside and beaches and i love driving here once out of the cities ,but life in general is boring boring boring .
Living in perth is like living on an island within an island ,and unless one is totally moronic there is no doubt one will go crazy ,just like monkies in a cage .

I refer to Perth as being 'a sandpit on the edge of a desert' LOL I mean it even has sand in place of soil for chrissakes!
I thought you had left perth and gone back to UK, dunno why. Anyways. have a great xmas and new year

why are you so concerned? don't you think it would be a bit odd for people to say they love everything about Oz whilst posting on the 'Moving back to the UK' forum?
