The Pom Queen 5,775 Posted February 7, 2014 Tonyman can attest I am real in the flesh and am who I am. I can attest Tonyman is real and he is who he is... and Mrs Tonyman does exist.. But Im not on his list of PIO members he would miss... (sob) :sad: Hopefully because not that Im Utd not City.. haha You aren't that other guy are you, the one who use to go kayaking with Tonyman, what was his name Nick? If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hope it's all going well. ha ha! Have moved AGAIN mate....been around we have, Warner to Dayboro, to Samford and now in Griffin :-) Who cares if mental health is backwards, the diagnosed ones are backward as well, same as the nurses, me included. Management changed as did the vol au vents......in fact a lot changed so after residency was granted I jumped ship and am now up Sunshine Coast for work in new unit here. Haven't been on here foever so not sure what others have been saying but if they want to be 'returnees' to UK then good luck to them, obviously wasn't meant to be. Good luck getting a job in UK then, or indeed a pay rise! ha ha, i will stick with my earnings here thanks and sit tight in the knowledge that we made the right choice to stick it out here. Nothing over there mate......zip,nada,zilch... Won't spend time reading the whining about mental health as I can see myself becoming a little bit vocal on the subject :-) Whinging poms Arrived 10th August....loving it Sometimes you make the right decision, sometimes you make the decision right ~Dr Phil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gareth 666 2,025 Posted February 7, 2014 I didn't realise Rupert was gone, I've not been on too much recently and especially in her preferred 'migration' hunting ground. That's a real pity and a loss to PIO, she was really helpful and knowledgeable with a knack of cutting to the chase. I asked her advice on the odd occasion and always got a polite reply. I hope nobody peed her off and brought about her leaving, if they did then shame on them!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Petals 4,258 Posted February 7, 2014 I'm not going to quote you on the rest of your post, as I'm one of those who has been badly burnt and not just once. However, out of it, me and another member who was also lied to and abused by this same member have become very close friends and I love them to bits as does my youngest, so it is swings and roundabouts. I just wanted to say I've checked this thread and no posts have been removed. I noticed the mods had moved one started by PB earlier yesterday as it was discussing ex members. Anyway, lets get back to the OP before the mods come and tell me off :yes: I am a bit of a web detective and found one of the people, on another forum, expounding forth, its a kind of illness I guess, hoodwinking illness :wink: Petals :ssign15:taking no prisoners :wink: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
