You never said that you were doing that. You simply did it. You are bleating. You are slagging people off who live here.

About your father's health, I suppose a plane ride from Canada isn't much worse than a plane ride from England. And Australia, I imagine, is pretty much as far as Canada is from Jordan.
Cheers, Vıkram.
Carpe Diem.
Pretty much my thinking. Oz is just a bit farther out.

wow! shouldn't you be running back to the soapbox about now so you can empty out that charming mouth of yours? X|

You asked what was well stated so quoted what it was. :rolleyes: It is basic reading comprehension. When someone quotes another it is the other that said it. Perhaps English isn't your primary language? :confused: BTW FWIW IDNVYD.

If I am not mistaken, you immigrated to England when things went to hell in your country of birth, and now you are in self imposed exile because it [England] doesn’t meet your expectations. :rolleyes: All well and good but have a little respect for those that took you in and take pride in their country. X| BTW FWIW IDNVYD.

Is jaywalking illegal in Australia?! Must remember that when I visit next year.

Jaywalking is a crime of opportunity. It normally goes unpunished until the police need a new police car or some other such thing. Then it, like speeding, becomes a ready revenue source.

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
It's not a religious holiday, it's labour day. I'm working tho. I think they are right, permanent residence and immigration are probably the same. Your best bet is to get onto a small boat and take off from Bali or something.

not bleating ... not concerned ... if you want to stay and suffer the cost of living in the yUK then that's your choice and none of my business ... where did i say i was bleating and slagging off people who live there? i gave some advice (somewhat tongue in cheek but with some serious meaning) regarding moving there to someone and suddenly i'm all things to all people who are either not getting laid enough or are obviously coming up to bleed time of the month ... so to all of you ... enjoy the yUK ... have fun ... be happy and FUCK OFF with the personal shit k? thanks :)

I meant that locally its a religious holiday :) Didn't know about the labor day thing. Christian, your ear is to the ground and I can count on you to give me straight answer with 0 embellishments and half an inch short of harassment. Would the move to Oz at this time (I assume 6 months or so) be a good thing? Work wise?

Depends where you live in the UK really. Please don't judge everywhere here by the likes of London, Milton Keynes and Basingstoke! FWIW we have a chilled an fun time here in Bournemouth..and we're far enough away from whatever flavour of idiots are in Government that we can laugh at them from a safe distance. :)

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.

If I can butt in here, and offer a few comments. I'm not fully up to date on the hiring climate in IT at the moment, but I have heard that a lot of finance/banking companies have shrunk their IT teams, and so the shortage of IT professionals that there was previously, is probably no longer the case. Who knows what it will be like in 6-12 months. But also depends entirely on your area - suggest you go to seek.com.au and see what matches up to your skills. As for immigration, a permanent visa application takes ages (8-12 months) to process (that's what I've been told). Also you generally need to get your degree/masters and experience assessed/accredited with ACS[^]. That takes a little while too. But you'll need to check this info and see what's relevant to your situation. Hope it helps. IMO the weather and lifestyle here is generally great. Much more of an outdoor culture of course. Rent and property is expensive in the cities, but might well be on par with europe (i.e. ratio of your income).

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 ;))
