Guest Ptp113 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 trust me .......they wont .............the poms do a great impression of being disorganised ...............we will beat Australia in the medals table......count on it With three times the population, four times the money spent, and Australian expertise, it would be a poor show if the pomsdidn't win more medals.

The poms damn near gutted the AIS over the last decade, I know it was one of my main accounts. The poms spent a $1b on sport getting ready for the Olympics, Australia spent $250m. It was raised several times in parliament here, when some MP's wanted more to try and match pom spending to no avail. It's all in Hansard if you care to look. Look at the coaching and high performance staff for many Britishy sports and it's "spot the pom". Oh and still three times the population, so Australia should only win a third of the medals the poms do, but I'll bet it will be a lot closer (poms will win more though). I always deal with facts.

mcmillsa Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 The thing with programs like this is that they are fascinating - not sure why. Probably because they are like the reality shows- full of dopey people you just love to hate. I was wondering why anyone would allow themselves to be filmed when really it must be very upsetting for them being unable to make a decision where to live. What kind of a person would allow intrusive cameras into their life? Beats me. Excuse me I did the filming I am far from dopey but a highly qualified individual who DID NOT have indecisions where to live. I got asked to do an interview about my time in oz and why I was returning which ended up turning into a negative critic of Oz for the rating. For me it paid for my dog to return home over 3200 dollars worth it in my book. I am not the type of person who bothered what others think but when I see quotes like yours opinion making on people you don't know says it all. Enjoy the viewing of the dumb people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy the viewing of the dumb people I'm glad you were able to see it that way, typical tv just like 'wanted down under' cut about to make it seem like you came here just to get the passport then burn the flag at the airport gate on the way home. I read the original request for people just before xmas wanting to 'explore reasons for going back', seems that was bull**** out of interest, if i can ask, how much positive stuff from your experience did they cut out? best wishes for future, how is the uk?

Jacaranda Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I've just watched the show and found it quite interesting.Surely though people don't base a decision on a move half way across the world on a tv show like WDU?You'd have to consider the bigger picture would'nt you?
