Re: Homesick

Only to take stock before breaking a life long investment. I think that is only fair. Anyway s.o.s. we disagree - no matter - all the best, and good luck :starsmile:

Re: Homesick

The fact is cls is married. Let her work it out and not be swayed by the experiences of others who have had bad ones. Anyway, I think at the risk of pride getting in the way on all sides of this, we...

Re: Homesick

cls
I would be very careful about taking advice about people who don't know you, regarding ending your marriage. They will not be picking up the pieces or anything else for that matter. All the best.

Re: Homesick

Yes that is very true, Christmas, that is. I struggled with this for years, but I eventually reconciled myself with the fact that I could always visit the UK at that time if I really had to. It's not...

Re: BBC Wanted Down Under - Series 9

Bring back the Skeggs family. They were good for a laugh. I'm sure they were edited for effect, but they seemed decent enough to me, and down to Earth, thinking back.

Re: Thinking of moving to Aus and need HELP.

I would say Brisbane is the City that will boom from now for a long time. It has the climate, the big city infrastructure, jobs, tropical beaches, mild winters.

Re: Homesick

Hi cls
Your marrriage is by far the most important thing. I think all expats to a greater or lesser degree miss home. For me its not all things, but just a few: going for a pint with my brother,...

Re: Australia has the strongest economy in the developed world

... and yet nobody bats an eyelid as India do likewise and, oh, that's right; they haven't signed the N.N.P.T either.

Re: Australia has the strongest economy in the developed world

I fear America more than I fear China...much more.

Just remember that America is controlled by a Corporate Monopoly which has an insatiable appetite for profit: war, death, greed, sovereignty, oil...

Re: Australia has the strongest economy in the developed world

But I think you have focused on what Qantas Management what you to focus on.. the workers.

Re: Australia has the strongest economy in the developed world

Re: Australia has the strongest economy in the developed world

I disagree. Australian workforce is highly skilled but profiteering ensures that skills are kept offshore. Look at Qantas - skills being sent offshore to make the company 'more competitive' -...

Re: Australia has the strongest economy in the developed world

Well not really. International trade is one thing but reliance on another nation for your economic future - all or bust - is something else.
