Mr Good Provider. Grunt.

Finally convinced 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.

*shrug* Giving me £100 pounds a week for the few remaining weeks I will be here, when he earns about £350 after tax per week is hardly selfless.

And you seem to have a short memory about all the food and drink he bought people when he was in Australia.

But all that was part of Project Alpha Male.

This is just being nice...

It's very different.

I am having some difficulty correlating these perceptions of my life with my life. Explaining further probably won't help.

Heh, it's all from a conversation we had on how to play the part of an alpha male to get people to react to you like one.

I think you'd had a few at the time :P

[reddragdiva]

I vaguely remember that conversation.

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.

Me? being obnoxious? who would have thou....

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.

[reddragdiva]

And I probably shouldn't post when exhausted and crashed. No worries :-)

[redcountess]

yeah, it did come across as insulting (to me at least), but you're forgiven :-)
