Re: Wife changed her mind

It well be the case. Thing is there is a high level of disgruntlement within the police. At least there is in WA. (record number leaving) Just the fact that it appears more of a discovery tour to see...

Re: Wife changed her mind

I thought along those lines as well. Where I would be a bit reluctant though is the scarcity of rentals. (especially with a young child) It would be difficult, I imagine to stay in a Back packers?...

Re: Wife changed her mind

I'll check it out. My doctor prescribed Temazapine. I haven't looked it up yet but he claimed no lasting impact in the sense of drowsiness. Don't get on well with the recycled air on planes. Some...

Re: Wife changed her mind

Thing being, no matter how tired, I just cannot fall asleep on a plane. (besides a few minutes of dozing which tends to make me feel worse) I'm full of admiration for those that do, and wonder just...

Re: Wife changed her mind

In the micro sense I would agree. But speaking personally, a four hour flight is no problem. A six to ten hour doable. Where as an eighteen or there abouts is something to be endured and increasingly...

Re: Psychology Degree

Re: Wife changed her mind

Re: Moving to AUS from UK , general advice/pets?

Re: MM2H To Start in Sabah in August

It looks like changes are progressing for Peninsula Malaysia as well. I expect it will take some time to formulate but at least appears to be in the pipe line. Thing is, I suppose, will people 'trust...

Re: If China attacks Taiwan (off topic posts moved from finding a place to live)
