Re: skilled visa ACS requirements

When they say "Degree with IT Major" or whatever, do they mean your work experience / professional qualifications etc. are equivalent to a degree with IT major (in Aus terms)? Or do you have to have...

Re: Finding meat free products in Brisbane?

Ha yes, it sounds blatantly obvious now you've said it! A friend of mine once used the term 'condom' to describe them, and it kind of stuck!:p

Those vegie delights look nice, but I couldn't find a price? (I guess I'd have to look at the supermarket's site but not got time at the mo - will check later). Be interesting to see how they compare...

Re: Finding meat free products in Brisbane?

Yeah, possibly. I guess if you slipped some into my food and didn't tell me then I'd probably eat it without noticing! (Don't suggest that to my husband, please!). :p

Thanks, Northern Bird. I don't have a problem with other people eating meat and I'm certainly not one of these "holier-than-thou" sanctimonious veggies who trying to convert everyone else, so your...

No, not particularly aimed at you, just noticed that we seemed to be going off-topic - i.e. discussing people's dietary preferences as opposed to trying to find 'fakon' (what I call 'fake bacon';)),...

Re: Finding meat free products in Brisbane?

Eating meat doesn't (the animal is already dead), but the way in which a lot of them are killed, does. For me it's also the squeamishness of putting something dead in my mouth. Please don't let's...

Re: Finding meat free products in Brisbane?

I am a vegetarian because of the cruelty aspect. However, I love the taste of meat and so eat "fake meat" products. I'm sure there are other veggies out there who aren't veggy simply because they...

Re: Is french a must for worker in IT department in France?

Not sure if your job allows you to work from home but, if so, why not work for a UK employer but live in France? Just a thought.

Yes that's what I'd heard. They know they can't check up on every company. It's a bit like dog-fouling - heavy fines if you do it, but hard to get caught!
