Hi we arrived here in may 2011 the first few weeks where the hardest starting a new job and waiting for all our stuff to arrive. TBH once i got all our stuff that was me sorted out and the wife took a month to settle in now we love it nice atmosphere apart from the south African neighbor over the fence which one day will feel the wraith of my boot. But Perth is a nice place to live nice beaches lots of stuff to do good public transport system. Drivers are something to be desired ie they are crap lol. So would i go back to the UK at this moment in time no but i enjoy living here the kids love living here we got a dog now lol and saving away for a deposit for a house. plus its a little different for me i can come and go as i please now as i got citizenship after 90 days of arriving which was handy.

Well we arrived in Perth on the 13th of May, at first I had some reservations about the move i had all sorts of feelings about have i done the right thing? will my kids suffer? The first few days were hard. Once we finally moved in to the property provided by work things seem to get better. The kids got in to the school where they are thriving, something which is a weight of me and the wife’s mind. As for work - I am pleased with my decision to move to this new work environment but it is hard to adjust to the way things are done. That been said I am enjoying it. Initially getting set up was hard it felt like everyone was trying to rip you off which I am sure you will understand once you get here. Just be careful I would give Telstra a wide berth and foxtel! I would not touch with a barge pole. It looks like sky, it’s the same company as sky, but it’s a far cry from what you’re used to back in the UK. So on to cars I took my car with me it arrived about 3 weeks after I arrived I used Iron chef who gave a good service. But be warned there are other hurdles to overcome once it gets here witch Iron Chef helped with thanks to you Kristian keep up the good work and I will get around to sending you the photo’s I promise just been really busy. Well that’s all I have for now.

Its who you know not what you know in the Oil and Gas industry. Also remember it dont have to be in Australia they will fly you to what ever destination you are need in.

Hi So ropey why would we cut the trident deterrent from someone having served on the said things i believe they are a important tool for world peace the fact that we have them deter anyone from attacking with emerging superpowers like china that are actively building there nuclear arsenal and Iran i for one would rather have our mutual destruction weapon because once we get ride of it we cant get it back. to put in prospective the life time running of the new deterrent submarines is only 20 billion over 25 years that's 800million a year for a weapon system that will hopefully never be used because we have it for a deterrent. Also you want to bring the troops home where they are doing a job that needs to be done believe it or not the world is a bad place and remember we may sign the dotted line to serve our country more than what can be said about a lot of people on here that sit back and take the freedom and safety of the UK as a god given right.
