Seems he got a bit too excited and worked up over his issues with his adopted country! Maybe Sue or another moderator would enlighten us?

Do you want a lift?

I knew it, it was P.S Wardle wasn't it. He hated me 'cause I told him Wellington was great, then he got there and didn't like it! Just called me cluedo KAZ from now on.
Guys, life is life, people struggle everywhere (we had our first child in London, living in a bedsit, sharing a kitchen with a disturbed Zulu chief (so he said) ). Death, bad luck, loneliness, happiness everywhere. Only thing is to work out a way for yourself to make it better for you and your family. If that means abandoning your dream so be it. We have just done that to stay here in the UK!
Good will and good luck to all and remember research, research, research.

What? He actually admitted to being a disturbed Zulu Chief?

Strange thing to admit, ho hum, each to their own, I suppose.

[QUOTE=Nice Guy]Well thanks turkeytickler (cool name by the way) for confirming what I already knew and I am so pleased I have not upset anyone by being content with my lot, that's a large weight off my mind.

My offer, I thought, is a very generous and benevolent attempt to assist UK weary people back to their homeland, which incidentally is also my homeland. Not one person has taken up this kind service but there is still time to return before Christmas if so desired.

And likewise to the last sentence of your posting.


homesick harry I am sure your postings have been greeted with the veracity that they have been written, however as I am a closet epidemiologist I am intrigued by one of your postings where you state:

What is your source and reference for this interesting information?

This is not a knocking I am genuinely fascinated.
I do not seek to reassure you that your comments are unoffensive, as you say that would be obvious.

Your offer, as as you know, was an attempt to belittle the people who use this forum to discuss subjects that matter to them or just use it to let off a little steam.

I do not see any evidence of similar treatment to those who post positive experiences. It is true that there is some heated debate, but this is in response to accusions of whinging and denial.

Excuse me?

My offer is a genuine post offering a genuine service to the disgruntled of this forum to get them to the airport and out of New Zealand.

I most certainly do not view it as an attempt to belittle users, it is a shame you view an innocent post as such.

You may not see any evidence of similar treatment to those who post positive experiences as they do not require the service I still continue to offer.

Heated debate?

That one is a pure enigma to me, how about just plain rude?

That would be more of a description.

Will it just be a lift to the airport then or are you offering to buy us all tickets out of here too. I'll get back to you in about a years time if the latter is the case.
