Grew up about 17 miles from Dundee (and 16 from Perh). All the kids of the pretentious parents went to Dundee High. Had a reputation for drugs even back then as do a lot of schools where the kids have too much pocket money.

"The High School of Dundee - Dundee's only independent school, providing a Co-educational environment for boys and girls, aged 5 to 18"

As far as Apple are concerned it will be obsolete now anyway given their product lifecycle.

Still unexplained issues with battery fires. Just Google "Dreamliner fires" (or not!) All 787s were grounded for several weeks as the result of issues with Japan Airlines fleet when they first came into service.

Haven't seen any negative press about the Dreamliner for a while, but would still not choose to fly on one if I had the option.

Thanks VS Will get the photos and scans of things ready and wait until next week for the other bits and pieces Would like to think I will manage a ceremony this year otherwise Australia Day would be really cool

Eligible to apply on Monday next week but just wondering if I can get my identity declaration signed off this week or if I have to wait until the four year anniversary is actually past. Similarly, can I request my police clearance docs this week? Just keen to submit the paperwork as soon as we are eligible to do so. Thanks

There will be a couple of things to catch up on like chicken pox and Hep B so look into that when you get here as schools etc want to see vaccination records for enrolment.

I think they need to give up on the 49% (51% ?) Australian ownership rule and let it compete on a pure commercial basis against its rivals. Right now it's boxing with one arm behind its back and will continue to do so until things change. I do hope any job losses are kept to a minimum but the rumours are not good.

Here's the post I was looking for: I never had any of my TV's connected directly to an aerial in the UK before moving to Oz and I am in the same boat here, they have always been connected to boxes such as streaming devices, SKY/Virgin, or Freesat (which you need a box for anyway). So if you are going to have a similar setup back home then take the TV back with you (you've only got to change the plug) You may find that if you reset the TV you may be able to choose your country/region again and it may all work, I believe Germany and Australia's tv freq range are similar but that's taking a European TV to Oz not the other way round (unless you are going to Germany)

There was something recently about setting the audio to German in your tv setup will try and find the thread

Not in Perth unless you are only talking about Maccas

dirt is okay, it's something about getting condensation inside the bag combined with the heat that makes it a potential source for legionnaires

Does it not depend which one is the dog / bitch (like ligers and tigons) would love to own a jackschitzu!

lite?

Or indigestion?

Daily Mail readers wouldn't notice the glaring error

No they don't i thought curry was officially the favourite British dish now anyway.

And I'm sure the flooding is bound to affect the potato harvest/prices later in the year

He'd still have to declare the smile unfortunately as someone else had probably given it to him to carry! :biggrin:

Yep, Australia takes its border security seriously and if you choose to fill in your AQIS form truthfully then the "jobsworths" will have no reason to fine you for being dishonest.

I only knew about it because it came up as a safety share at work got a couple of open bags in the shed that I should probably throw out can't keep plants alive so no point in keeping it and what's with people having green thumbs here (as opposed to fingers)?

Yep, supposed to be a higher risk from compost than dodgy a/c units.

Can you provide examples of where it is behind the times? My only experience is the lack of 24/7 shopping and that's really not a bad thing to be behind on.

Yep, seems to go up a $1 every year. $11 was 2013 price
