Dawny Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 :hug: Hold your head up high, be proud of your self for rising above them, they are not worth the hassle, maybe sometime in the future they will grow up and be responsible adults, Do what you do best and just rise above them x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoll Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 :hug: not worth wasting your precious energy on. Maybe as Dawny said, one day they will grow up and be reasonable people.

Guest siamsusie Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Imagine how the poor children will turn out when the parents have to resort to bullying. Its hard to imagine how people derive such pleasure out of nastiness, it certainly takes a lot of energy. Hard to do, but shoulders up high as Dawny has said and smile, their loss lol and very best wishes for your return home ss x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think it gets quite this cold in UK - they said it was -3 last night but I reckon it is lower than that and our insulation, though quite good, still doesnt make this a warm house!

Maisie Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Well you wont have to face those lot for much longer! Seriously where do some people get off being so rude, could you honestly imagine saying anything like that so ignorant, reminds me of a hen do I went on :arghh: just dont bother with them again for a night out, keep the smile on your face, dont bother telling them your plans and enjoy your life, you dont need people like that around you. best wishes:hug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantasia Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I wouldn't mind betting those stupid women are jealous of you - maybe they have never been anywhere other than Oz - or even Q'land (LOL) - you probably come across as a cut above but by the sounds of it that wouldn't be hard - there's quite a few Ozzie bints like that here - just think you have the ability to live in UK, or any other part of Europe - and even Oz - they will probably never leave Queensland - small minded idiots they are......

YUCK My Aussie hubby just laughed it off but......:no: I think that this is a good example of how Aussies DO USE THE EXPRESSION ''POM" in an aggressive/offensive/critical fashion. When there are debates about this issue, including on this website, loads of Australian sycophants start protesting that the Aussies only use it ''affectionately'' and as a term of ''endearment''. What total, delusional bollocks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did this year Quoll, before we came out we had temperatures of -9 at 8am. We lived in Warwickshire thank god it was not the top of a mountain somewhere!

fantasia Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 That is soooo true - mostly folk from the "lower end of Ozzie 'Class' system (and yes there is a class system over here - most definitely) - luckily - these 'lowies' are usually the ones who have had the bare minimum of education and have done very little in their lives apart from watch the footy, get p****ed, have never watched a TV documentary in their lives, and couldn't read a book if they tried - very small attention span....!!!! There's a few like that in my street - I honestly struggle to hold a conversation with any of them - but hey they love to gossip about other people - one neighbour couldn't wait to tell me her brother was gay, her aunty a 'bondage' pro, her uncle gay, her brother in law heroin addict and so it goes - you'd think they'd want to keep that sort of stuff to themselves really wouldn't you - where is the pride - they haven't any of that either.....

Guest twilighter Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Hi we are wishing to move back too, for all the reasons nobody could predict, however I would feel excatly the same as you after your night out, especially with all that you've been through and are about to do again!! I think they are probably a bit peeved cos you have a choice and make things happen, there are two types; those that do and those that think about doing!! youre better than any of them and obviously better off without them sort...good luck to you hope it all works out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olly Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I met an office full of women on my first working holiday to England, and a couple of them gave me hell because I took a job they thought they were entitled to apparently. They asked me how it can be that Australians can come over and 'take their jobs'. I tried to explain to them that I had British citizenship through my parents, but they were convinced otherwise - I had the Aus accent, that was it. I loved the job, but eventually down the track, I'd had enough and asked for a transfer. I tried to be friendly to them, and while they were outwardly civil to me, I never made real friends with them, and a few times when I tried to join them for lunch, they would sometimes ask me stupid questions about Australia which I found very sad. I decided then to not try so hard with these type of people, and as luck would have it I did get that transfer, and made a true life friend with one of the English girls. We have kept in touch for many years, and I was her house guest when I was in England recently. Don't put up with these women, they are all over the world these type of people, avoid them and be empowered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
