Welcome little singing bird. you will find nothing cheep or chirpy on this site, (waits for applause,...not a sausage!). We dont care if you're insane, in fact it's a prerequisite for admission. One thing we do insist on, is that you supply your own medication.

Rigger, Budgie, singing bird??, definitely not ornithogically educated, canaries sing, larks sing, Budgies, well Budgies ... budge, and some sad beggars say that their particular Budgie can converse with the best, but never when the reporters are present. Still `our' Budgie seems quite a reasonable type, to whom, welcome.

May 6th already, where does time go once you get past your 21st birfday, like wot I am.

HH,

I was new almost 58 years ago, I didn't know I was new then but I know now I'm not new, occasionally I've been pi**ed as a Newt but that ain't new either. I knew I wasn't new when I posted on the I'm new thread and I knew you or El Prez might ask if I was new , I just knew it you know, so sorry I'm not new to you but I am new to the new ones

You`ve got six more candles than me, so that makes me "newer" :lol:

Sorry barry! I didn't know that budgies dont sing in the upper 'emisphere!
Down here, not only can they sing, they can also dance, do human impersonations, and backstage, after the show they slip into gins, (which are all pink, after all Harry!) cook a barbie, then finish the day by helping the kids with their homework. :roll:

I was new once, just before that nasty Adolph got all stroppy, but I'm new again, thanx to people like you and your straightjacket ensemble :crazyeyes: :crazyeyes:

Rigger,

No mate MY apologies, age induced myopia meant that I didn't register the Southern Hemisphere, stands to sense that Budgies are different down there, I suppose it could be up there for all we know. Human impersonations you say, sorry that bars them from this forum, no one else on here can manage human impersonations. We seem to be gathering a fair few antipodeans of late, presumably mostly Poms on the run rather than second or third generation. My younger daughter spent part of her gap year in Queensland, hard time she had, diving on the reef, free falling onto Mission Beach etc, hard, bl**dy hard it must have been, not like her old dad who only had to fund it all. She never stops going on about Oz now and I reckon once her science degree is in her tucker bag she will be heading that way for good.

Yours Aye

Barry

You could get a "retiree visa" 8)

Harry is right there Baz. If your daughter does come to Oz, you could do worse than pop over here for a while. Having been around a bit, I would recommend Qld, WA, or northern NSW coastal areas. I have been here over 36 years and never went back to the UK in that time. Shingle beaches and lousy weather hold no attraction for me. Besides, us crabs like being near the greatest beaches in the world!
:D

Harry what is an 'retiree visa' and does having close relatives already living there help at all? 8)

Gerroff I saw him first! As he kissed me goodbye in Newquay he promised he'd see me again. Said he'd send a ticket. Then this ticket stub from the underground arrived in the post and I knew I'd been deceived. Bet the rat can't even remember my name........... come to think of it......... :roll:

Wully having close relatives here is a bonus . A retirees visa is for four years I believe and is renewable. This is a great country to live in your money will go nearly three times as far. As a pensioner we get assistance with rates, power,water,gas,rego,rail fares and more. Plus which houses are cheaper. I live in country Victoria and love it it is beautiful and here we still get four seasons we did move to NSW at one time but didnt like it too hot and only two seasons. So my advice is go for it. :lol: :lol:
