flag of convenience Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Aren't your kids in OZ flattie thought that was all that was keeping in that god forsaken hole? Not all of us are from dysfunctional families mine was but that why I intend to work so much harder at giving mine that better life be it in Oz or where ever we end up. I don't recall Perth being suggested as a god forsaken hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flag of convenience Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Why doesn't it surprise me Australia comes out worse in your unofficial poll....................classic FOC :laugh: If nothing your predictable............. You should know by now only the reality. As for predictable I'd say a number on here constantly peddle the same familiar ground around the bliss of Perth living. Only fair the other side is mentioned. As you would be aware from your time on PiO a number do find it as mentioned and I can certainly certify Aussies and Kiwi's stating greater social ease in UK. Never claim the majority or even that would be reason enough for those that do to remain over there as I know for a fact most still return.

Bobj Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 So which bit was exaggerating? "...and it will be good to get back to some decent fishing where I can sit out without getting fried or bitten to death" It is common knowledge that Australia has far better fishing and a greater variety. Also, getting fried? And 'bitten to death'? Surely you must see the exaggeration. You're still alive... Cheers, Bobj. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinkla Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 There are advantages and disadvantages to each. I imagine that the happier people are those that focus on the advantages of where they are; the unhappy ones are those who focus on the disadvantages of where they are and/or the advantages of where they are not.

Incata Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 It's strange but I really don't know. Until last month I could not envisage being 40, and then suddenly I was. I can't envisage being old or where I want to live and suspect I won't be able to until it happens. I think I will want to be in the same country as my children, so I can see them easily, but being children of wandering souls, I cannot even guess where my kids will end up. I quite like the idea of buying a campervan and travelling here and there, wherever the wind takes me. I might try for going round the world in a campervan, that would be fun! Then I would be everywhere and nowhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting a bit too knackered for river fly fishing like I used to:laugh: You'll be heading in my direction then! No idea what the fishing is like around here but I do see folk out on the river with their rods - some grand walks though especially for older folk who don't like hills! Lots of wild food too - berries, fruit and nuts if you look for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flag of convenience Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 A lot of time we end up where we are. Without pre planning the day may never come where an option is available. The hassle in the age of relocation can be not worth the effort if left until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flag of convenience Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 A years a year in my book FOC, tbh wouldn't care where it was spent as long as around family, you come across as a more mature person are your kids and family in Perth is that why you stay despite your obvious distaste for the place? Actually not that mature in age but I understand the constant dispatch of wisdom, more than likely suggests a ripening in years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
