Re: Interesting reading for those thinking of returning from Oz

As for me -- I've been back to UK in the past couple of years. And was very saddened by what I saw. It bears no resemblence to what I remembered. Ugly shopping malls now comprise a virtual...

Re: Interesting reading for those thinking of returning from Oz

:-) I can see this is the first enjoyment any of you have had for quite a while, lol.

Don't know if there's anything more disgusting and stomach turning than a group of vicious, small,...

Re: Interesting reading for those thinking of returning from Oz

Of course, and we know that. No-one's having a go at anyone who took the punt. It's very difficult for those who're deeply distressed and stuck in a land which feels alien to them.

Re: Interesting reading for those thinking of returning from Oz

People who don't want to listen, don't.

People who'd rather argue than work at their own happiness continue to argue.

Re: Interesting reading for those thinking of returning from Oz

Why would you describe the facts as being 'nasty, vile nonsense' ?

If people fail to adapt, adjust or simply decide they will not fit-in, then that's their decision and they need to own it .......

Re: Interesting reading for those thinking of returning from Oz

The chip implants are on your shoulders as I'm confident you've been told many times before.

You couldn't fit in in UK --- and you won't fit in here.

And throughout it all, you whine and...

Re: Interesting reading for those thinking of returning from Oz

Now you can see what you're trying to do here, can't you?

Of course you can. You're dragging in irrelevant red-herrings in order you don't have to face the truth about yourself.

Re: Interesting reading for those thinking of returning from Oz

Re: Interesting reading for those thinking of returning from Oz

You packed up in the UK, lock, stock and barrel.

You completed endless forms. You worked your backsides off to qualify for acceptance into Australia.

You made the decision to leave your...

Re: Interesting reading for those thinking of returning from Oz

You know what's going to happen, don't you, after you return to UK ?

There will be a little flurry of activity and attention, and then, once your immediate penny-opera is over, people are going to...

Re: Interesting reading for those thinking of returning from Oz

Re: Can't decide - UK or Oz!! may return to UK for a 1-2yr trial - help!
