i cant sleep...

[antz]

my dad just got back from new zealand today after being there for 3 weeks.

 

then my mum todle me my dad wants to move there permanantly my grandad already lives there 6months of the year but is looking to move there permanantly....and now my rents are..

 

kinda got me worried cos they seem serious and im not the kind of person who like change or to plan things...(ive lived in the sme house all 19years of my life).

 

i like the idea of it with the old fords, the weather, the peace and stuff but i dunno...its just aint england.....then again england is full of robbing bastards and ya taxed on ya monthly tax which sucks...taxed for breathing next.

 

 

just cant sleep cos all i can think about now is if they do go to Nz...What do i do?

 

would i go with r stay here...if i went with then id have prolbkems of what to do with the GF and if i stayed id never ever see my parents and be taxed to fook on evrything i do.

 

my dad has even told me that the old ford scene is really big there, took loads of pis of old fords and that i could ship the terracotta terror over there for £1500 and they dont have insurance out there..if your driving and you have a crash. the person at fault pays for everything out of their own pocket. if you injure someone the government pays ..hnce why young 18year olds can rive 400bhp skylines etc..

 

anyway im rambling...

 

i ant sleep cos im stuck between a rock and a hard place....(nothing might happen but then you never know they might decde to do it..they already got property brochures)

 

[mossy]

mate....do it, just up and go!

 

3 of my friends did it to oz last year and they have never looked back, they say its the best thing they have ever done!

 

My parents are always going on about how they should of moved over to oz (as ive got loads of family over there) years ago and how they regret it now as the country has gone to pot.

[antz]

yeh its true but im not one for liking change. i dunno if i could cope over there...i keep thinking that its only a few small islands...then so is england

 

if i went id need to find an ccountnacy job and to be honest i dont really wanna leave the gf behind and i dont think her and her mum would come with me.

 

i dunno what to do. they only been on about it today so itllpan out and see what hapepens but its the sudden thing of 'were thinkign about moving to NZ'

 

my dad even bought me a ford mag bck full of OSF drag cars and reports of their burnout constests over there to entice me

[Mrs O/H/C]

DO IT ... MOVE !!

 

AT LEAST THEN YOU HAVE TRIED IT AND IF IT DOESNT WORK OUT THEN YOU CAN COME BACK .. BUT IF YOU DONT DO IT YOU MIGHT REGRET IT LATER

[antz]

yeh im thinking that....only live once and everything...plus i could go show the V8 boys what a mighty xflow can do

 

its just a bit daunting saying they wanna move. i can fully understand why and i do like the idea but im scared of leaving behind what i have here....job, friends, gf, i dont like change (my bedroom has been the same colour for 8 years cos im afriad if i change it i wont like it )

[Mrs O/H/C]

JUST LOOK AT IT AS A BIG ADVENTURE ... LONG HOLIDAY ETC AND DONT LOOK TO FAR AHEAD

[antz]

its a lot of money though....irs cost me £1500 to get my escort over there cos theres no way in hell id leave it behind...and if i didnt like it then itd be another £1500 to bring it back...thats £3k just moving the damn car around!

 

then id have to get a job, get a house, learn my way round, make friends from scratch, work out the currency, put up with a completely new place, work out whatd happen between me and becky (gf), get all my stuff shipped over there..

 

 

and if i didnt like it then its the whole oppsoite to do the thing in reverse....i dont normally plan my weekend until 9am saturday mornign so the diea of my parents wanting to mvoe acorss the other side of the world is like WOAAAAHHHHHH

[ZetecVan 2.0]

My parents almost went over in the 60s when it was subsidised by the government.

 

My mate went to Oz a couple of years ago after getting made redundant here. His sister lives over there so moved in with her for a few months while he got sorted.

 

Soon after he met and married a wealthy businesswoman. Spawny git.

 

Do it.

[Mrs O/H/C]

WHHOOOAAAA UP !!

 

ITS ONLY TALK ATM ... JUST WAIT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS,THERES PLENTY OF TIME TO THINK IT ALL THROUGH YET ( THEY ARE NOT MOVING TOMORROW )

 

 

SOMETIMES CHANGE IS FOR THE BETTER ... I MOVED TO CORNWALL 18 MONTHS AGO AND IT WAS THE BEST THING I HAVE DONE ALL MY LIFE.

 

I HAVE A HOUSE/A BUSINESS/NEW FRIENDS ..

[antz]

a guy i know at work, his brother has just gone to OZ to live permamantly and supposedly loves it.

 

its warm all year round. no salty roads so i wouldnt need a daily driver cos id have the escort all year round. petrol is £3 a gallon....just a shame itd be so bloody far away from england and everything i know and love

 

but its too far away to get posioned by the stuff i hate

 

 

i know its only talk at the moment but last eyar they talke about moving to morrocco and it was all i heard for 6 months and they very nearly did it but i cant rememer why they didnt.

 

my parents get it into their head and thats it

[Gonzo]

Dude, wimmin come and go at the end of the day. Go to NZ without the car for a while. Leave it with a mate or something. Then if you decide you can stick it, come back for the car.

 

But seriously, it's worth getting out of this shitbox country ASAP, cuz it's going down the pan and ain't gonna get better any time soon. I guarantee you'll be happier over there, girlfriend or no, and at the end of the day, everybody owes it to themselves to make themselves happy if they can manage it.

 

Better weather, better roads, better cars, better people, better women, better quality of life. Get on the King boat, cuz if you don't, I'd gladly go in your place with no second thoughts!

[mossy]

if your really set on not going...then why not just stay and let them go?

[Posse]

Yeah get your own place so we can have bbq's and partys

[Chris!]

Yeah get your own place so we can have bbq's and partys

in scarbrough

i'll 2nd that,go mate

[bigglesmk2]

If i was offered that chance i'd go.

 

[Messenjah]

i was extremely close to moving to hong kong with my parents about a year ago my mum got offered a job and we started looking for big apartments and rugby teams and even a boat as well ... and after we had all agonized about whether we would do it or not they didn't offer her as much money as she wanted to make the move so it ended up not happening but i was all set to go ... onwareds asnd upwasrds and if u dont like it u can come back but id say try it for atleast 6 months without the car put it in storage or something ....

 

 

i know a few people who have gone ... some loved it and stayed others hated it and were basck in 6 months ... give it 6 months u will know after that !

[louie bagel]

i say go buddy i would if i had the chance you can still chat to us on the tinternet, and as for the gf well you'll find loads of girls out there that will get all moist cos u talk like that floppy haired huge grant let the good times roll

[antz]

ha ha ha louie you have a way with words

 

my dad was there for 3 weeks and loved it...cruising around in a 5.7 v8 holden checking the sights with my grandad and chilling out.

 

i know its only still talk but if it was to happen i gotta say i am very tempted to go....fook it i can take OSF over to NZ and start a new division (if posse would let me )

 

this country does suck. car tax, fuel tax, wages tax, tax on tax, tax this, that tax, that for breathing, tax for your local MP's jaguar....it takes the piss!!!!

 

 

had a look at work today adn they have an office in NZ so i could always try for a transfer

[bigglesmk2]

Yep this country is down the pan it really does tax the piss out of us all.

 

If i could i'd go,but im all set up house kids missus.Your stiil a young man with no real ties (apart from your lady freind of course)and as allready said you could allways come back.

[escortmad79]

Do it dude! Michelle & I want to move out there in the future!

 

England's getting worse!

[antz]

talked with my mum today and i told ehr that if they do go.....im gonan go with stay there for 6 months and see what happens. if i like it ill get the terracotta terror shipped over. if i hate it then ill coem back.

 

the gf could always come with me, or wait for me..or leave me

[Mk2Jo]

Mate, you are 19 ... you are old enough to make a life for yourself. If you wanna stay in the UK then start looking for a place to rent with your g/f ... if you wanna go with your folks then start enquiring about shipping the Escort out there

[Mk2Jo]

I HAVE A HOUSE/A BUSINESS/NEW FRIENDS ..

 

but your daughter stayed behind didn't she because that was what she wanted - to stay with her friends and familiar surroundings.

 

I guess you are perhaps giving antz a parent's perspective on the move

[antz]

Mate, you are 19 ... you are old enough to make a life for yourself. If you wanna stay in the UK then start looking for a place to rent with your g/f ... if you wanna go with your folks then start enquiring about shipping the Escort out there
