It's a cross to "bear". Sorry troubes, couldn't resist.

It's called small member syndrome. That's when a fellow peep unable to reach first step in terms of debate, seeks inconsequential means to cover inadequacies and short comings.

I wouldn't do it if they were typos troubes

But using completely wrong words is neither inconsequential nor conducive to debate. Especially when it comes from someone who attempts to present an image of worldliness and education.

If we had to conduct conversations with you where your words were taken literally, it would be even more chaotic!

You obviously are perplexed and somewhat daunted by your perceptions of my worldliness. I'm afraid can't help you out on that but can attempt to steer you in a more open minded approach to life even if living living in your basement.
You see I attempt to portray nothing more than where my interests and philosophical leanings are. Sorry if all a bit overwhelming for you. But I have had dealings with enough Australians to fully understand your dilemma. Not good on detail nor debate, hence attack and ridicule the messenger. You really could with practice up your game to enable a flow of ideas and opinions. But I obviously won't hold my breath.

As I said before, it is NOT worthwhile.

I knew Australia was expensive, but had no inkling it was THIS expensive before I moved here.

I work as a business analyst, and BA work is best done face to face with the business (IMO).
After 5 years in the US in a great role, when I went back to India, the job profile essentially sucked. Since I couldn't secure a US H1B, I applied for an Aussie visa and landed in Sydney.
This "brain fade" moment of mine ranks higher than Steven Smith's (if you follow cricket). I should have waited for a US visa.
