How is that terrible? How young is he?
He'll be 9 in, like, two months. I don't mind playing with him as a general rule, but he knows and exploits the fact that I always cave in to his cajoling, even if I'm doing something else. He also always tries to get me to go to his house, sleep over at his house, watch him play games, help him with games, stuff like that. It's kinda weird, 'cause he's always telling people he wants to be like me when he's older; I don't know why, and it makes me feel sort of uncomfortable.
So you're being idolized. Bask in the glory of it all mate :)

That's because you're a rotten drunk that has no interests save for world domination?

Incredible. This morning was just straight out of hell! 1. My son, for the first time ever woke up at 6ish and woke me up by slapping me continuously giggling and calling out "daddy!" 2. I walk into my office to find that my laptop hdd has crashed. Its OK, I have backups, its just an absolute pain to have to re-install everything :mad: 3. On the way to the Brit and Oz embassies, a twit of a lorry driver rear ends me, not much damage but the rear bumper is now cracked 4. Two blocks down the road a complete fool of a woman driving a Cayenne almost breaks off my right side mirror. Her excuse for driving like the fool she is, she's in a hurry because she was going to miss her morning appointment at a spa! :mad: 5. It takes 2 years of living in the UK before I get a permanent residence visa and that includes having to have a job. It is my understanding that you practically can't get a job unless you're a permanent resident or a citizen. 6. The Oz embassy was closed today because its a religious holiday that I completely blanked out about. However, I was told that for permanent residence visas, I might as well apply for immigration. So far, not a good start
Isn't your wife British? I know next to nowt about emigrating in to the UK, but I'd have thought that would count for something.

If you think the UK is bad Lauren, you should try Jordan. And on top of all the BS that is abundant here, the income is terrible not to mention that I would be completely out of touch with the latest if it weren't for this site. I'm wasted here. Oz or back home to Canada it is.
then either of the two other options would be better :|

an attack on your home??? fuck you lady with the patriotic crap and all the bs that goes with it ... if you can't accept others who also come from there have differing opinions without waving some "god save the queen" crap and getting all personal then screw you

I know a lot of it comes from our history (i.e. empire) but we have a lot of people wanting to emigrate here and it is a much smaller country than the likes of the US. Because we aren't that large a country and get lots of people coming from Europe etc. we have to be stringent. With the points system one question is, if you want to live here what do you have to offer the UK? I mention the US because our histories are very different. By the way, one of my nieces could always wrap her parents around her little finger. I wonder if your sone has been on a distance learning course with her? :laugh:

Please don't mistake Lauren for one of US. She liked to piss on the US when she was a guest there also. I travel a lot and the one thing I never do is slag the place or customs of the people I am visiting. People and customs are different all over the world and I respect that diversity. Call me an ugly American, but I consider it bad manners to be critical of how people live anywhere in the world. I don't have to live there or even visit if I don't like the place, but I don’t have to be critical either.

Having lived in Canada and having half of my family there, I consider Canada (Edmonton to be quite precise) my home and I would simply love to go back there. I could go on for hours on how beautiful my countries are (I'm weird that way :) ) I'd prefer Canada to any other nation, but my father has settled in Jordan and because of his state of health, I'd much rather somewhere a bit closer. It might be all in my head, I mean, its a flight trip either way. Also, its a candidate because my wife's family which is in abundance in Birmingham and Scotland, not to mention all the friends I made here :) Also, I have my own family to think about now, not to mention keeping my sharp edge when it comes to tech. Jordan is a great place to start but certainly not to grow and that's simply because the market is terribly small. Ultimately, what I'm looking for is a place where:
- A place that offers me a good environment to raise my child (and possible future children)
- A place that offers me a good wage or good returns on investment so that I can support my family
- A place that will let me live with the intellectual freedom that I seek off of the internet
- A place where I can with my own two hands build something or take part in building something that will mean something to the world
Sadly, there's too much external pressure and too much internal in-fighting compounded by greed in the Middle East for that to happen. My primary candidates are Canada, USA, UK, Australia. I can speak French (it used to be more fluent) and I'd happily learn another language (besides Ostreylien if I go to Oz ;))

I'm certain! I could be his personal genie :-D But I'll tell you that I love it :) His smile is worth the world to me :)
