My fellow users,
It is with a great trumpeting of extreme excellence that I announce my departure from these shores of Great Britain. For you see, I am off to the continent of Australia to pursue my career and Australian Beach Babes.
This is not to say my time in London has been a waste; I have enjoyed my friends and my job insofar as I have garnered a wealth of experience and memories which I will look back on both fondly and with horror. Sadly all this must come to an end and on 28th April 2010 after a two week business holiday in Brisbane and Sydney where I had many positive and prospective interviews with employers and recruiters, I have handed in my notice at work.
My reasons are simple, I have grown tired of this country and firmly believe it is for the pit after May 6th and whatever might transpire on that date. My career has stagnated here and my social life is not what I would like it to be. Since I love Australia the decision is natural and was surprisingly easy and with my visa granted my move is secured. And there is joy and happiness all around. Except for the Australians who ready their beer and meat for yet another Scotsman bringing his Western influence.
The purpose of this tale? To give a giant ‘F-U' finger to the Government and Finance industry of the UK; both are destructive overbearing douchebags who suck the life out of all that is fun and I pity those who lack the bravery and courage to change their situation. A sentiment echoed by both my colleagues and friends here in London-town.
I prospectively enter Australia in June this year - my job will take me to Sydney but Brisbane will be a first stop to acclimitise before beginning what I am sure will be a fruitful and very, very energetic future. A party shall be arranged before I go where there will be frivolity and drinking and women and much movie discussion. This has no effect on my internet usage, merely I will be sitting on a couch in glorious weather rather than a couch in London looking at the gathering clouds and rain.
With regards,
Fonz.

Go on - admit it. They've finally found out you're solely responsible for the near collapse of the banking system and you're having to flee the country.
Seriously, though - good luck.

in before scots taffer... nope, you're too late :(
Good luck! For mine and others' sakes I'm sort of hoping that the UK isn't quite as fucked as you make out, though.

awesome :cool:
Before long we'll get the whole London crew. Now we just need to figure out how to stop y'all defecting to other cities.

I know for a while the Australia government was pretty fucked. Has the new guy been a lot better?

Awesome news fonz, best of luck for the move!

Thanks folks!
Its very daunting actually and I spent today making a list of all my dodgy stuff to sell since I do not want to take alot over with me - stuff like my xbox, tv, general shtickery.
Still, its the right thing to do since I did figure out the one person who was behind the whole recession and i need to high-tail it asap.

Good luck. I've got friends there, and apart from the flash floods in Brissy that nearly carried one of them off (which I find hard to believe as he's top heavy owing to his phenomenally large head, so he's more liable to sink like a stone), they haven't had any complaints.
