Pompey where are you?
I will send a longer post when I am a)more sober b)have more time c) at a reasonable hour......but for now...
We are here and I for one love it!! I formerley posted under "Mark and Sarah."
A million thanks to anyone and (reallynearly) everyone I spoke with. Most of what was said on here was accurate, but as in "real" life truths are influenced by experiences and personalities.
I love most things about being a NZ resident so far. Yeah I know its all new and wooooo ooooh! I also can forsee the things that will piss me off in years.months.weeks to come!
My savings from Uk are nearly all gone; oh well. :scared: NOT!!!!
I live in Hawkes Bay, Havelock North to be exact and boy its great. THANKS. I know Nirvana don't exist.
I will be trying my damndest to make this whole thing work for me and my family - people here couldn't have been more friendly.
BoB
Now, to bed.3-1 Pompey. Scousers next.....

Sorry you got stuffed by Liverpool though....Ha Ha
Pompeypaul has had some personal problems.....Wife left me and my little boy (14) 8 weeks ago! She left with all the savings, hadnt paid the mortgage for two months, just let me buy her a new car, just re-mortgaged to carry out work on the house....She took that as well!
So i have had a bit of work to do sorting everything out ....most importantly being there for my Lad!
Still lurking on the site though and am enjoying all the debate.
Take care you..all!

Hi Paul,
So sorry to hear about your news. Hope things are starting to get better for you,although I do know its a long hard road ahead for you.
Will keep you & your son in my prayers. Sorry Im a little late in reading this post, havent had a lot of spare time to cruise the forum of late. Too busy trying to settle in the new addition to our family.

Good luck to ya mate!
Have several mmates in similar boat - I'm sure we all have - and it gets better and they have all gone on to meet new partners and be happy etc etc. If it takes a few trys finding the right person, well enjoy the moments eh!
Things will surely be ok. You might want to consider changing yor team too eh? Tho like they say, you can change job, change your religion, your politics, even your partner! BUT you can never change your football team!!!Look after the lad first and foremost.
Good luck.

NO,NEVER! But have considered changing lots of other things......
Moving out here was one of them, I feel so much better.
Of all the things I miss,its United that I really miss.The whole package.
I work with a lot of Maoris and enjoy listening to them tell me about their culture and heritage.Equally,they are fascinated by my stories spanning over 36 years of the love passion loyalty and inspiration I feel for MUFC. They show me their iwi markings and I can show them my United tattoos. I argue I am from a bigger global family - which has almost got me in hot water!!
Are you and Dennis still looking at movin to NZ?
