Re: The Great Australian Property Swindle

Good question..

In any other field I'd try and gauge the 'general consensus' from those considered experts (those who write in the press etc). My thinking being that a general consensus approach...

Re: Liverpool V Chelsea 25th Apr

If they're opening on Wednesday morning for the footy I'd assume it's the Man U v Milan game.

Re: Drought

Re: Pommie Bastard, Mike Stanton and Arkon

Agreed. The same goes to those who base their decision to emigrate on hearing that 'Australia is great, the beaches are wonderful and everyone's laid back'.

We're both talking extremes, and I...

Re: Pommie Bastard, Mike Stanton and Arkon

Maybe some people did cancel - and maybe that was no bad thing for those people. Pommie Bastard was in his prime when we were thinking about whether to come to Oz or not.

Re: Why do some settle better than others??

- Luck
- Sense of perspective
- Knowledge
- A 'want' to live in Oz (different from a want to leave the UK)

Re: Is working in Australia " laid back "?

I'd agree with this badge.

I work for an IT company on St Kilda Road and I'm working longer hours than I did in the UK but I find the work environment is more 'straight up'. There seems less of...

Re: Driving Licence 25 yrs UK no points.10 weeks on Gold Coast ?

Not entirely sure whether you were agreeing or disagreeing with me here....

Re: sun creams

Re: Driving Licence 25 yrs UK no points.10 weeks on Gold Coast ?

10 years driving in the UK without any points - already got 'more than one' point on the licence in just over 2 years here in Oz.

Little 'on-topic' here (sorry) but does anyone know if there is anything happening in Melbourne?

There's loads of roads named after 'Nelson', 'Victory', 'Hardy' and I've wondered whether the...

We had the same sentiments exactly.

There's no doubting that you can get an awful lot (spacewise) for your money if you buy a mansion a la macca's. But when we were looking around them, none of...

Re: Which Ozzie words took you the longest to get use to?
