Is Roo-Killing something that the Auzies actually do in their spare time?

I had a mate who was over from Auz and he said the kids/teenagers used to run through the bush with machetes chasing after kangaroos and chopping them, thats terrible

Is it true?

 
On large properties in Aus-Roos are considered vermin and they have a lot of wild pigs/Boars-so it is not un common for this to happen. 
 Aus is a Fckin huge place-you can drive 2 days straight and still be on the same property you was when you started!-you can fit the whole of the UK in the New South Wales area something like 13 times.
 
Conservation is a big thing in Aus-when the early settlers came across they brought animals that are not part of the natural eco system so the knock on effect was catastrophic-for example they brought rabbits across for food-then those rabbits bred like wild fire and what feeds on rabbits? Snakes! so the population of snakes goes through the roof and so on!.

hugh jackman or russell crowe?

neighbours or home and away?

Are most of the Islanders massive naturally.

Hi mate,
 
The Jackman for sure-take his fitness pretty serious Hugh.
 
Home and Away-only because its local-most of the cast train at the FF I train at.
 
Islanders!! un fckin believable -some of them are about 15 yrs old 15stone and have a full beard!!- we used to have a window cleaner at work who looked like a silver back gorilla-never touched a weight in his life-so one day one of the I.T guys invites him down the gym- First warm up set shoulder presses the 90's for 20 reps and says was that alright!!!-but they are as thick as two short planks!.
 
I once got the ferry to work and this school kid was sat next to me obviously an Islander-he was reading the newspaper-it was the funniest thing he put the newspaper down on his lap after reading and I'm not joking he looked like the ex wrestler the Rock in his little shorts and white knee high socks-I looked like 'mini me 'next to him!-I bet he was 6ft about 15/16stone full goat tee beard and a cap on!

Been to Byron Bay and Fiji, Fiji my favourite.  Worked at the Centrepoint tower and on the harbour when I was travelling, great lifestyle and I understand why you jumped at the chance to live there.  How often do you get back to the Uk or do family prefer to visit you?

Only been back once-Its the cost mainly with kids you need an entourage. 
 I pay for my mum to come out-Mum and sister have been out twice.  At least they get a holiday out of it we just get to go home at great expense.  Sydney is a great city-but I'm not a city person-love peace and quiet must be getting old-I think 28yrs of living in Manchester is an equivalent to a lifetime in any city!

What's your favourite barbeque food?

How many real Sheilas do you know?

What's your favorite larger?

castlemaine xxxx or fosters?

VB - I'd say.

What are the prospects like for future career development within your indsutry and where would you like to be in 5/10 or even 20 years time in reference to your career?  Where can you see it developing?

Cheers for the reply re the healthcare.

I recall last year or maybe longer, you posted some links to a house you were looking to buy?...it looked amazing for the cash....did you buy it?....if not, have you any pics of your place....like the pool area LOL.

What other sports are you into?

I once spent a month in Randwick, are people still talking about me over there?

Favourite BBQ food is prawns-usually buy a kilo-shell them and throw them on for a few minutes. No Sheilas I'm afraid and I only know one Bruce.  I'm not really a lager lover-i have found some nice boutique beers-one called James Squire and another called Hefeweizen-which is also a wheat beer there very smooth.

Surprising not a lot of Aussie I know drink VB-its a bit of cheap beer that people bring to BBQ's just to say 'Oh I bought some beers with me-lets see whos I can nic'.
 
I like my job but as I mentioned earlier its a bit of a pain commuting-theres is room for development but it would have to be big bucks-Ideally so my Mrs wouldn't have to work at all. I'd love to find work closer to home but the wages just won't match that of the money you can earn in the city. I've always been a bit of an opportunist so well see what comes along.

Hi Neb,
 
We did buy the house, been in it 2yrs now(interest rates have started to go up again already)-going to start some renovations next weekend-my neighbour is builder who is Scottish who doesn't mind wee tiple now and again-so now I've found his method of payment we''ll go from there
 
Not really interested in Sports mate-don't mind watching the major events though.  I really don't have the time to tell the truth-I have to leave the house at 5am every morning so I'm in bed for 9pm every night. mrs works weekends and I have the kids so no real spare time.
 
Don't think I'll post anymore pics of the House-I think most are sick of it

Whats the Aussie nightlife like?

Sod the h8ers buddy

We want pics of the house!

Mate I could start a whole thread on your conquests in Randwick(god awful place).  To tell the truth I thought you was the latest winner of Australian Idol the way the young girls are still talking-the best thing to hit Randwick since the Beatles!.

I lived in Sydney for a year and absolutley loved it - I wouldlove to move back there one day.

My question is how did you find the visa application was it as stressful/expensive as some people make it out to be?

Do you think you will move back to england ever?
How old are you?

Whats the Aussie nightlife like?

They have a very good night life in the City-like most cities really.  There is a big Gay presence within the inner city night life.  Don't go out much myself between work and looking after the kids theres no time left, mostly BBQ with neighbours and parents from Kindy.

I'm extending the deck at the back of the house next weekend weather permitting-it should double in size.
