  1. I know what you mean , we did it for 5 years , the project definitely had a limited shelf life. Good luck with your new career. I change from plumber to train driver, no more sewer blockages for me. All the best
  2. Hi Cal, Thanx for that, it's been a strange year that is for sure. Hope the business is still ticking over for you. All the Best Dale
  3. I was a regular on this site when emigrating, I separated at new year after 19 years and am back on the single circuit. Most of my mates are married or have Kids at home with them . Looking for a new circle of friends, I love live music, competed in tough mudder, spartan and stampede and a half marathon this year. So fitness and anything adrenalin pumping keeps me ticking. Also enjoy travel. I'm a 39 year old forest supporter COYR. ? Be good to here from you , Dale __________________ Quality Short Term Accommodation in Brisbane
  4. If I have time to watch tv. It has to be British I'm afraid. Spent $100 with amazon.co.uk. Loaded up with Peter Kay, Gavin and Stacey, al Murray, Benidorm and idiot abroad. (Downton Abby for the wife). Unfortunately too many American shows here. A few decent Australian . Don't miss much, but good British tv is a must.
  5. Hi there, We shipped our stuff a few weeks before we moved so it would have been here when we arrived and begged and borrowed small bits n pieces from family in uk & slept on air beds for a few week - we weren't taking fridge so that was ok & took washing to my mums. Camping chairs came in useful too.

  12. Hi Ginny, I was speaking with a colleague the other day whose eldest daughter had been to Petrie and now had huge problems with basic maths as at the time, they had gone through something like 6 teachers in 18 months and now is so behind that she struggles with vocational maths as she never had the building blocks. Her youngest daughter however went to Kuwongbah and she can't speak highly enough of the school. The eldest is 16 now so its a long time ago, but even so, I think better to have historical background than not. Cheers Francine
