Happy In The Land Of Oz

[Bazile]

Has there been wizards in the land of Oz , running the economy over the past two decades .

They seem to have avoided the global recesion , and is the place to be if you want to be happy .

Would you consider emigrating ?

Bazile....good question....;-)

One of the Southern States.....Texas,Delaware, Maryland or Virginia.

Better pay in the USA, sqad !.

[Sqad]

tony....yepp! but the competition is greater and to survive one would have to "up the ante......produce the goods.......give a service.....or flounder.

In the NHS one could sit back and pick up £120,000 for life.

That wouldn't suit sqad.

[tonyav]

That's what I like to see sqad, rise to the challenge.

One of my colleagues went on a 6 month secondment to Sydney, met a girl, brought her back with him and married her.
When I asked her why she'd married him she said "Have you ever met any Aussie blokes?"

[society]

Sqaddy, you're the man! :)

[tonyav]

Nothing wrong with Aussie blokes, crafty. She was too picky.

I'm starting to get an insight into the whingeing pom.

The weather over there is certainly throwing up some suprises

That reminds me of a James Bond Film

It certainly threw up some surprises yesterday - we had to divert and wait 6 hours for the weather to clear up before we could land here

thank heavens we don't do this now, at least Australia apologised , the stories of children shipped out to these far flung places is often heartbreaking.
