Re: Potential move to perth, like the rest of you!

I had a great boss in my last job in Oz who was also of the view that I had a job to do, and exactly what hours I used to get it done didn't really matter. Some times of the year I worked long, long...

Re: Difference between Melbourne and Sydney

Obviously this is all personal opinion but I'm honestly surprised to see that description of the city centre. The CBD is very compact, to me. I wouldn't have said even the inner suburbs were grey and...

Re: Back from Australia.

Great post.

We miss gold class too! We have been back once and managed to fit in a gold class trip, planning a return visit this year and also hoping to get to gold class!

Funnily enough, I had...

Re: 10 years since last trip.

Coffee has come a long way but has a long way to go! Bigger cities probably have better options although still plenty of bad cups around. Although people are very into takeaway coffees it still isn't...

Re: 10 years since last trip.

Without meaning to offend... Rhyl doesn't have the best reputation. In fact at work, the whole North Wales Coast tends to be considered a pain. I don't think it's a North/South thing at all, just...

Re: Doing "That" trip

Don't know if you will see this but posting just in case. If you are making your own way from Manchester, I'd say train from Manchester Airport to Manchester Piccadilly then from there to Rhyl....

Re: Australia is too bloody far away....from everything

I think some define success in too black or white a fashion, as well. We did 6 happy years in Oz, came back to the UK for a number of reasons which boil down to the UK suiting us better right now. I...

Yes, I'd be interested in how far ahead your booking is for. I didn't buy miles in the recent promo and suspect I'll regret it!

Re: British Graduate Moving to Australia (Big Fish in Small Pond)?

For someone who's 'technically an Aussie' it's strange that you've not heard of tall poppy syndrome.

I doubt your degree will give you an edge over local graduates from prestigious Aussie unis. I...

Re: Business Class Airfares to UK / Europe - approx $2700 - $2800 rtn!

Is it all booked now? You going with Thai?

The availability doesn't go back in immediately, no. We found that when doing dummy bookings. The website 'hung' a few times at payment stage and it was...

Re: I feel a ping pom comming on.

I got pneumonia as a fit and healthy 27 year old in Aus. And I'd already had shingles that year! I honestly was fit and healthy outside those illnesses.

OP, we moved back to the UK 18 months ago....
