No worries. The results may sway your decision to move!

I said no and no but I do like to vent but not in order to get sympathy, just to get it off my chest.

I vent because I feel like venting. No sympathy required. In fact, I'm not bothered about people reading/replying or neither of those things. I just need something to aim my spleen/bile at and BE is a good target.

I meant no and no, but due to my special ability to hit the wrong button I now look like I'm happy in Australia but post to moan and get sympathy. He he.

I said no and no. I'm not unhappy here and I don't post to vent or look for sympathy. I post (probably too much) because I got a lot out of this site when we were looking to move here and like to think I can give a bit back. I used to post a lot more in the immi section but got frustrated with it and didn't keep up with the changes so don't think I'd be that much help there anymore. I just like the social interaction here, even if I don't necessarily like all the posters. (That's ok. I know not every one likes me either)

Was extraordinarily unhappy to be trapped in Australia but the Aus forum is the last place I would think of expecting any sympathy for that point of view. If I was venting I'm more likely to have done so on MBTTUK than in the Barbie

If you guys want them changed, (I'm not sure if it is possible though) I'll ask if it can be done.

Can't you do it? I can't make Polls at all so don't ask me but I know they work for Poll and she can edit them, I thought we should be able to as well.

I can change it for you but you need to tell me what option it was you choose originally.
