The third 'cut and paste' is years old! John Howard isn't even in power anymore! Although these actions are horrific and uncalled for, I have to be blunt and to the point and say that given Australia's super tough immigration laws and how hard they make it for people to move there, and the upfront '...

BB, well obviously only you have been privy to the cultural aspects of the situation as the original post mentions nothing, so I cannot comment on that side of things. But whatever the situation it shouldn't make a difference. Loner, I completely understand where you are coming from. I had someone m...

Chocoholic

Thanks BB. No I haven't turned into stone just yet. But someone will have to work very hard to gain my trust. It's sad really as you end up feeling damaged and other people are penalised for the way you've been treated. The wall is up and it's certainly not coming down in a hurry.

Only in certain parts of the large cities, in the suburbs it's white mans land. Sure there's lots of Lebanese, Greeks etc. But it's well known Australia is very tough to get into. If you have a skill/trade great if not, forget it. Plus WG, and I don't mind that I'm the only one the guts to say it, t...

Chocoholic

Well for my own experience and I can tell from Loner too, no it went on far too long. Because you falsely believe that things will change, that they will get better. It's difficult to explain but you get a warped sense that the behaviour is normal and their way of showing affection. It's sort of lik...

Nah you'll be fine.

Suspected food ponsoning, until the results come back. These things happen unfortunately.

Chocoholic

Well unfortunately they'll need you passport to cancel out the visa.

Still no news on the lost Airbus which left Rio bound for Paris.

Lots of specualtion going on regarding turbulance and lightning strikes etc.

Planes don't just fall out of the sky.

Hope and prays for the passengers, crew and relatives.

This 'story' is over a year old!

R.E. or Religious Education is only compulsory upto 3rd year when students choose their GCSE subjects.

Personally it's an outdated and useless educational class.

Chocoholic, I work in the Aviation industry so i'll qualify your statement as such: Well maintained planes don't just drop out of the sky. Air France have an ok safety record (I think the last fatal crash might have been Concorde), but the Airbus A330 is one of the safest aircraft in the skies. Sad...

Chocoholic

No idea. Initial reports say an electrical error was reported.

Chocoholic

erm you wouldn't reduce your speed to gain height, you'd increase it to give you more thrust! Aircraft are built to withstand all sorts of inflight occurances. Turbulence is very unlikely to ever bring down an aircraft, you can see turbulence on the radar and weather instrumentation, and pilots will...

Chocoholic

Well I kinda have to agree with MCL on this. These kinds of things happen the world over and there is normally no rhyme or reason for it, other than those doing the attacks, simply don't like you. But yes you do have a reputation for rallying and protersting at the drop of a hat and burning effigies...

Chocoholic

Yeah we've known this for months - cheers.

I'm now going to decide which car I want to drive today!

Chocoholic

Things like this really annoy me, it's so stupid and unnecessary. What a waste of time and money. No one else's business expect the couples.

Chocoholic

Dude, why do you keep on dragging up ridiculously old threads. Let them die already.

Chocoholic

Killjoys. The amount found in it isn't enough to do anything anyway. Couldn;t even get a nat high!

Chocoholic

Once again a typically well thought out reply from someone with nothing better to do. The police/courts time would be better spent cracking down on killer drivers, drug dealers, human traffikers, pimps etc etc. Nice to know you've got your priorities right! What a ridiculous answer! And maybe you sh...

There's little hope of finding it, you're talking about searching hundreds of square mules of ocean. It is like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Chocoholic

Could we have that post again in English please?!

In a word - NO!

Chocoholic

No! And I wasn't talking to you either!

Chocoholic

I gave my view. No my salary is not enough. Nothing else to say.

Chocoholic

If you don't have the occasional fight or quarrel it means you don't care and have no passion and are apathetic about it all.

Yes but Columbia was scattered over 'ground' not over the ocean floor!

Chocoholic

Well with that kind of crappy attitude is it any wonder this place is still seen as living in the dark ages.

Chocoholic

Where is that info from NewDubai? The latest reports I've read this morning say that particular aircraft was checked and in perfect working by technicians. Air France has now admitted it received a bomb threat against a flight from Argentina to Paris four days before. So they're now taking the possi...

Chocoholic

Oh yes the banks certainly do! They sell the debts onto international debt collectors, so don't think you can rack up debts and make a run for it!

But the jailing for non-payment is ridiculous! erm how can you work to earn money if you're in prison?

Chocoholic

er in Health Care Ciuty - that'll be that huge healthcare complex behind Wafi then!
