Re: Travelling back to the UK - how often do you go and what do you do with the kids?

Thanks all.

I have just resigned myself to going back with the youngest at some point next year. Trying to get to the UK with a 3, 6 and 9 year old on my own is a guaranteed one way ticket to the...

Re: Advice on some suburbs please - Melbourne & Brisbane

We stayed out that way for a while (Kenmore side) and it was taking on average an hour to get into town each day (to be fair there were roadworks at the time).

Re: Steer clear of Britannia Movers (Glasgow)

Having moved numerous times, I would be very surprised if the removalist hadn't informed the client of the likelihood of an AQIS inspection.

Moreover, I can't imagine that's it possible that...

Re: Steer clear of Britannia Movers (Glasgow)

Re: 'Australia' worst film l've ever seen.

I actually switched Quantum of Solace off. I think the worst big budget production ever made was Waterworld (Kevin Costner).
