always lookIng for the extra UT2 work.

Most of these guys earn a hell of a lot more than they would in Oz though and so can live the London lifestyle. Like DP says though, home is home and so the ones that dont marry someone English will all go back im sure. What are you implying? That DMPM can't get a bird, so he's packing his bags and going home?! | ||

I'm out of here in 5 weeks. WOO HOOOOOOO!!! It's a bit provocative to come onto a website (which is essentially British) and start ranting about how great Australia is. Not exactly surprising though!!! | ||

The interesting comment was the "better wages" statement - which even more strangely tops your list. Oh, wait, you'll find me one or two examples of a job in which the Aussies pay more. Woo hoo!! | ||
