Guest guest59177 Posted January 31, 2012 If what you know and trust involves living day be day in fear of bomb blasts, armed robberies, and what nots, the answer should be obvious!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Andy Posted January 31, 2012 is it worth placing your life on ifs,buts,and maybees (moving to australia) or is it better to stick with what you know,and trust--just how much do you know about the future,and what you want--just a question I think if you get the chance to move and try another lifestyle and culture ( especially a fabulous country like Australia )then you should embrace it and give it a good go as it is all to easy to sit back and say better the devil you know, at the end of the day you are a long time dead.

calNgary 9,134 Posted February 2, 2012 If's, But's and Maybe's worked for us ,so why not,, it's better than spending years wondering 'what if?' Cal x If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place... If you get a chance,take it, If it changes your life,let it. Nobody said it would be easy they just said it would be worth it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pablo 14,048 Posted February 2, 2012 Life is ifs buts and maybe's wherever you are in my eyes,so its a case of "having" to find out whether we can settle in oz for me,which is why i'm ringing the estate agent today and knocking another few grand off,and telling them they're on a months notice "The problem with neo conservative capitalism and it's insatiable greed for more wealth and disparity amongst the populace,is that it ended up being the catalyst for the great depression and modern recession" Me,tonight:wubclub: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
