  1. I still have my UK license and I changed the address to a relatives address before I left. Dont car companies have different rates for residents and non residents?
  2. Stamp duty should be abolished. The grant was a real big help. Put it back in place or take away the tax to make the purchase more affordable.
  3. Have been really happy with our health services. Hope you are feeling ok now John.
  4. Dont understand why contracts are going overseas when theres a gap between ships and layoffs. Buy local and create jobs.
  5. If its still hungry i have another mother in law thats available? A bit on the tough side, bitter, sour a real mouthful at times!
  6. You may be getting a Costco sooner than you realised. The word is out that masters has pulled the plug on the new store in Noarlunga and Costco are going to be the new tenants. Dont know if a petrol station is part of the plan though.

    Hi all

    Hello Gaza! That sure was quick. You will be fine after the jetlag is over. Take your time and pick the right area. If you pick a dodgy suburb it will affect the next year so drive those miles and have a good look.
  8. Have seen loads of snakes. They are hiding everywhere. They run off when they see you, well not really a run but you know what i mean.
  9. Had a brilliant time there. It really is a crown in south australias tourist crown. I hope that the airlink upgrade doesnt spoil it.
  10. There are some shocking properties for rent and ones that have been on the market for a while are always negotaible. If you dont mind living next door to paroled offenders you can score a few dollars off the rent too.
  11. That's great you must be feeling really pleased. Bet he's really chuffed with himself.
  12. It certainly is Mini Me It certainly is.
  13. You can get all 4 seasons in one day here! It's too cold for pools or sea for another couple of months. I am so pleased that it's finally warmed up. Glorious weekend wasn't it:jiggy:
  14. Brill news. Such a relief for you and your family. Hope that you settle and enjoy the benefits of living here to the full.
  15. Nope. Not the mob out in force. Just the voices of a few people who have moved here and made it work. People who are fed up reading the same old lines from a disgruntled individual who failed to make it work for him. Admirable that you jump to the defence of your master though Yodal.
  16. You thought of this all by yourself? Dr Evil would be proud.
  17. What have you been smoking mate?
  18. Too true. They learn lots about lots but little about everyday life.
  19. Its $1.15 at the local servo. Twice as dear in blighty then.

    Bills!

    The split systems work well but are really expensive to run. Its gas ducted for us when we buy. I turn the damned thing down but the family turn it up. 10 per cent increase in cost for every degree above 21. A bit of discipline and the costs can be reduced.
  21. I hope to be joining you in the house ownership club soon! It's cheaper than renting. We are not leaving. Makes lots of sense. Congrats.
