  1. The way I understand it you need 4 x 8.0 or better..... 9.5, 9.5, 9.5, 7.5 - Doesnt get you the 20 points, 8.0, 8.0, 8.0, 8.0...does!

    University

    You would need to find an equivalent course at one of the WA Universities and contact the Admissions Department to see what they will accept as part credit for their course BTW, Just done a quick search for Sports Coaching on https://www.studyinaustralia.gov.au/ there are only 2 results, both done in Sydney
  3. What did you get for the above? Usually the main problem comes from having 12 months or more in prison, or 12 months or more of suspended sentence They may look at repeat offences, which they are, but they may take your recently diagnosed extenuating circumstances into account when applying
  4. Simple maths really... Apple Store Australia: 32gb iphone 4s (Black) $899 (todays exchange rate at Travelex £1=$1.55) so $899 = £580 Apple Store UK: 32gb iphone 4s (Black) £599 So providing the exchange rate stays where it is now, its cheaper to buy it in Oz (£1:$1.50 is the break even point) If you get a phone on contract in the UK, you usually have to clear the contract off before they will unlock it, also Vodafone UK and Vodafone Aus are 2 different companies so you will not be able to buy an iphone on Vodafone UK and put a Vodafone Aus simcard in until it has been unlocked As for best mobile company to use in Oz, Ive always used Vodafone, had no problems, they promote 3 quite a lot over there but I have never used it
  5. I've used this firm several times and found the prices to be very good http://www.rentalcars.com/ Things to do: Perth Zoo: http://www.perthzoo.wa.gov.au/ Kings Park: http://www.bgpa.wa.gov.au/kings-park Aquarium: http://www.aqwa.com.au/ I have done all of the above and can recommend them all, Zoo and Aquarium you have to pay for, Kings Park is free Rottnest Island: http://www.rottnestisland.com/ SciTech: http://www.scitech.org.au/ The Maze: http://www.themaze.com.au/ Adventure World: http://adventureworld.net.au/ These are on my 'to-do list' for this September I have looked at their websites and read a lot of reviews and they all come across and good tourist attractions
  6. What we do in life echoes in eternity. Liverpool Football Club, unleash hell......
  7. Already won the Carling Cup and already qualified for the Europa League.....can't make top 4 for Champions League, possibly top 3 depending on Chelsea, Liverpool have 2 targets left this season: 1. Win the FA Cup, 2. Finish above Everton.
  8. Info for Pre 2012 student loans here (bottom of page) http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/EducationAndLearning/UniversityAndHigherEducation/StudentFinance/Gettingstarted/DG_199403
  9. If the Liverpool fans can make a wall of sound like we did in 2005 we will already have Chelsea beat.....this was the greatest game I ever went to in my life, the Kop was rocking and they didnt know what hit them
  10. I don't agree with everything you have written there Pablo, but you are entitled to your opinion on the matter, as you have said this isn't the place for political debate, although I do enjoy a bit of Politics Labour may not be resposible for everything that has gone on in the last 15 years, but they allowed it to happen and they turned into a soft touch party. I dont support any party, but I use my vote to vote for the party which offers the best options at the time, I personally think people who vote for the same people every time without even reading whats on offer are idiots, Einstien said as much.... I speak to people all the time which say I vote Labour, always have always will, and 99% of that is becasue of Thatcher & Liverpool, but that was nearly 40 years ago, this is a vastly different UK from the 70's & 80's... This time the Conservatives offered the best, Labour had had their day, I liked Tony Blair when he came in, but in the last few years, thet really went downhill and lost their way, I think Conservatives are trying things at the moment, some are working, some aren't...come the next election I will see whats on offer and make my choice accordingly Oh and as for Labour building hospitals and schools...they didnt, the vast majority of have been built via PFI, we will see in time the imapct of that in time
  11. It shouldn't be an issue, its usually 12 months+ prison or 12 months+ suspended you have to worry about or a combination adding up to 12 months+ Just make sure you declare it on your application and on the Landing Card issued on the plane prior to arrival, if you don't and you get found out, that is when it leads to problems
  12. Not only on about spending, Im on about uncontrolled immigration, uncapped benefits for people who have 8, 9, 10+ kids just so they get paid, the political correctness culture thats come about in the past 15 years, they came to power say tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime and what happened, they left with a culture of gangs and uncontrolled gun and knife violence where people are too scared to walk to the shops after dark There are many factors that affect the economy and both Cons & Labour take advice on it from the Bank of England, The Treasury and Office for Budget Responsibility - which is why when pressed Milliband abd Balls wont commit to anything when it comes to the economy
  13. MP's pensions are controlled by an independant body, something brought in by David Cameron.7 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-15348489 After Labour well and truely destroyed this country I am prepared to let this lot have a crack at fixing it, but I think they are somewhat restricted by Europe
  14. Just found this, did a search and I cant see anyone has mentioned it on PiO so here it is.... http://www.fifobids.com.au/ May help people looking for FIFO and mining roles in WA http://www.perthnow.com.au/business/new-solution-to-wa-skills-shortage/story-e6frg2r3-1226341562637 (News Article)
  15. Put your info into here, it will give you a good general idea http://www.pensioncalculator.com/ For a more detailed idea, speak to a pensions advisor at somewhere like Zurich or Standard Life
  16. Spot on. Public sector workers pay less and get a lot more than the private sector when it comes to pensions
  17. Yes all visa applicants must validate their visa in Australia within the given time
  18. http://www.immi.gov.au/visitors/working-holiday/417/ What does this visa let me do? If you are granted this visa you can: enter Australia within 12 months of grant stay up to 12 months leave and re-enter Australia any number of times while the visa is valid work in Australia for up to six months with each employer study for up to four months. This is the only info on studying on a WHV I can find
  19. Singapore Airlines is about the cheapest firm to go with at the moment - and probably the best. They fly from Manchester to Singapore then you can connect to anywhere in Oz: Syd, Melb, Bris, Perth
  20. Go here... http://www.pedestrian.tv/entertainment/
  21. Try here http://www.grandroyalbarbers.com.au/
  22. Depends which city you are going to... I'd say hotels in Sydney and Melbourne are plentiful and cheap enough to give you numerous options Perth on the other hand, not many hotels and they can be expensive, so i'd rent a house there Brisbane is a bit inbetween so you could go for either Adelaide, I've never been but from what I've seen doesnt look like enough goes on there to warrant a large number of hotels so perhaps a rented house would suit better there
  23. Come up on a Wednesday, free plate of scouse with your beer in the pub near mine :yes:
  24. The rich always get richer, but its because of a simple percentage calculation Poor man puts £100 in a 3% APR bank account, at the end of the year its worth £103, what will £3 buy you? A pint and a packet of crisps.... Rich man puts £1,000,000 in the same account at the end of the year its worth £1,030,000, what will £30,000 buy you? A new BMW! You have to have money to make money, it is the golden rule of life You only have to watch Question Time to realise how stupid the general British public is, because none of them ever seem to understand basic maths
