regarding house prices, Yes Yes Yes!!! In a matter of paragraphs, you've summed up everything that Kerry and I have had to painstakingly explain to both sets of parents plus may other friends. Tehy say "are you considering buying?" as if it's something achievable, like they haven't thought about what they're fucking saying! really, fucking nags me! young couple = buy a house...not these days fellas! look at what's happening around you, and think about whether that is actually possible.
and yeah, all that stuff about kids vs income vs house all rings troue with me. It's rediculous the amount of stuff Howard expects one family to do. It's idiotic.
thank you for getting my blood pressure going :)
oh and re the whole WA vs ES stuff, it bugs me too, because like you say, all this jibing that WA people say happesn from ES doesn't actually happen, in fact they're quite fascinated by the idea of Perth. WA people need to get their heads out of their arses to a certain extent and realise that there really is a rest of the world, and that maybe those people in the rest of the world aren't so bad.
but you have to have had close contact with someone from the other side in order to get your head out of your arse. YOu realise that they're all human as well and get over yourself.
