    NZ is nice but the it's like living away from the rest of the planet, then OZ, well we all know a yogurt could develop a more interesting culture in two weeks than what OZ has managed in the last 200 years.

    Come to Scotland instead - we're all rather less obsessed with cash and more with drink - it's a win win situation.

I have just started the process. Probably be the best thing I'm gonna do in my life apart from marrying my wife.
    That is rich coming from a Pole. They hardly all moved here for Home and Away double bills and the stunning weather.

    Then why so many Poles here and very few English people in Poland?
    And why not move to Poland?

    You're going to be very unhappy wherever you go, because you know not why you're going. Your childish dream of some Nirvana is silly.

    Now I'm off to the nice cosy pub with my mates of 20 years - thats why London is for me.

    He/She/It appears to have been listening to Neil Young songs.

    Suicide is probably the kindest outcome for them.

    if i do come back at all
    but you know me, and i miss you now.

    in a strange game
    i saw myself as you knew me
    when the change came,
    and you had a
    chance to see through me
    though the other side is just the same
    you can tell my dream is real
    because i love you, can you see me now?

    though we rush ahead to save our time
    we are only what we feel
    and i love you, can you feel it now?

    Whenever people moan about a place, you can bet your bottom dollar that they they are negative losers who don't have good relationships with people.
    So they move somewhere else, but their personal issues remain - and they are just as unhappy as before.

    Remember you have to take yourself wherever you go.

    You're wrong.

I suppose she could be afflicted by the jumping up and down before saying something, that is much worse. Then there is the stepping sideways before saying something....
