Best joke I've read all week

But this Oz really does exist along with:


- the yellow brick road


- the munchkins


- Toto the dog (aka John Howard)


- and Dorothy (aka wombat42)

The sad thing though is some people believe that story, even though it's from Aussie government ministers ( with everything to gain) lol and people in the UK who have not stepped foot here. I saw that link somewhere in the Aus forum too.. and I laughed then.. but I didn't comment, - best left alone.
It's amazing what people want to believe, and even convince themselves to believe.

each to their own

wombat42

Mike Stanton, l thought you should be 'Dorothy' after all was'nt she a bit like a whinging pom, she never liked OZ and was always complaining' there is no place like home' and in the end she escapes OZ, back to her homeland.

Ceri

And killed the wicked witch for the Oz folk who could not kill her themselves because they were incapable or perhaps they just liked being ruled and it didn't bother them, maybe because they could not see past their own bubble .. and then Dorothy lived happily ever after in her homeland. having freed these people .. with her her fluffy rat called toto ( oh it's a dog.. sorry).

What a lot of silly singing sausages. Cheap houses - cheap as mud:







What are you going to do with "good wages" anyway?

Megalania

Look even a woman can do it:



At a time when the average house price in Melbourne has hit $313,000, one young woman has built herself a mudbrick home in the city for $20,000.

Bloody Poms - useless, hopeless!

dugongs

LOL.

One interesting point here is that Adelaide is actually included within the SA scheme - in fact the whole of SA is included so if people really want to go and are short on the criteria this is something to look at and still end up living in one of the main cities.

You can after all buy a 5 bed 3 bath home with pool with an acre of land on the beach at Glenelg for the price of a 2 bed ex-council house in any northern uk city. Unemployment may be a touch higher but think of the opportunities.

Found this BBC news story that I thought would interest everyone. It appears that Oz wants us Brits to move there even more so. They claim in the article that the Ozzies love the Brits, houses are cheap and jobs are well paid.

I thought you'd enjoy that news article Mike.

So who here thinks that the OZ government should be sued for false advertising??

Megalania

Well, the Gubberment never asked me if I like Poms so they must be fair game.

Adelaide is a nice place to live, nice beaches, nice climate, surrounded by attractive hills, looks a bit like L.A with a much smaller population. However l would'nt want to live in regional
South Australia, its mainly desert wasteland with few jobs.

Megalania

Barossa - plenty plonk.

Olympic Dam - much mining.

It took Donna approx. 1 week !! It took me about 6 months to realise she was not happy. DOH.

We did 8 months and the best thing we did was to come back. Things have got better and better.

Although had we not gone, the improvments in our life here would not have happened. So I guess everything happens for a reason.
