If it makes you feel any better Hethir, you can always say Melbourne is chock full of pure-bred chardonnay-sipping yuppies. :oops: 8) I love you Melbourne... :D We're "livable" you see. :wink:

Hehe :)

Although Melbourne is the most 'liveable' city, and we now own the GP so ...
Stirring stuff there, Crown. You said you didn't write it, so who did?
Can't say as I know I am afraid, one of my friends forwarded one of those 'mass-forward-almost-chain-mail-like' emails to me so ...

Well it's kinda true ... with schoolies week on I mean (not!) ...

Personally I like this one;
We come from many lands (although a few too many of us come from New Zealand), and although we live in the best country in the world, we reserve the right to bitch and moan about it whenever we bloody like.
Fits us Aussies perfectly (and our attitude about some sheep loving 'cousins'), wouldn't you say?

Next, there's NSW, the realm of pastel shorts, macchiato with sugar, thin books read quickly and millions of dancing queens. Its capital Sydney has more queens than any other city in the world and is proud of it. Its mascots are Bondi lifesavers that pull their Speedos up their cracks to keep the left and right sides of their brains separate.
I'm don't drink coffee, I'm not gay and I don't wear speedos or go to the beach.

This proves I am indeed from Newcastle. :D

Mate, the beach is part of my monthly life! No beach trip at least once a month = not cool.

I'm there maybe once a year. You're more likely to find me near a lake. Avg once every month.

Heya, my saying that by no means was meant to insinuate anything about you, apart from your unfortunate predicament.
Stofsk, I do miss it very much, as much for the place itself as for the friends I still have there. I hope to go back to work there for a couple of years, but it's very hard to get in as an American music teacher with no familial ties there.

Anyway, you're welcome. :D
Have you inquired about all immigration avenues? There's quite a few visa options that permit you to stay quite awhile.

Happy Australia Day!!! I hope everyone enjoyed it!

The plus side of this thread is that it allowed me to wish my attractive GSI a happy Australia Day.
