Re: employment

Re: Tiling.

Hi there,

I suggest you try to find TAFE colleges in Brisbane, there's several of them and I'm sure at least one of them offers this course.

Re: Is it really that bad in Oz?

Hi there,

I reckon it's a difficult question. What do you call good or bad? It doesn't matter where you live, you basically do the same thing: work, pay your bills and try to enjoy life. I think...
