redcountess that thrashing herself to exhaustion working thirty hours a week at T*l*t*ch is actually a BAD idea with all the shit she has to get organised, and that her enormous Australian wage is actually about 2p. (Well, £450 a month after tax. That is, a quarter of my wage after tax.)
So, I'm yet again after good ways to get money to Australia that aren't MoneyGrams. Specifics if possible - things you've actually done, what it cost and whether the exchange rate was ruinous.
Update: Yeah, banks, including mine, apparently do just the thing I need. Will enquire forthwith.

No offence intended towards the good Rev of course...

Date: 2003-02-02 02:17 am (UTC)I really don't see how recognising that there are ways to play the social game implies that I wouldn't do things for people I like - or, in particular, am marrying - with the only benefit for me being happiness that their life is improved.
I do consider myself an ethical person and put quite a lot of thought and effort into being one, so your comments did come across as unduly obnoxious.

Date: 2003-02-02 02:43 am (UTC)Wait.. I think this is one of those lack of body language on the net makes semi-serious comment go sour.
Imagine me with my trademark smirk saying all of this thread..
Oh, that's even worse innit? :P
Well, apologies and all that since you were offended.
