That's a good word, I think I might write it down.
Not sure I understand what you're on about though. Sunshine? Sunny?
Anyway, Sunshine Coast - that's great but over here we've got Margate[^]

Write regally, remembering your reasons.

I like Australia. My perception of Australians had been coloured by the influx we had in London in the late 90s. It just wasn't possible to get a pint without an Australian pulling a handle in those days, and they certainly lived up to the stereotype. The free-fall exchange rate seemed to have them all heading back to the airport.
I've visited a couple of times in the last few years and I was surprised to find that at home Australians were rather more refined and conservative. Notably, some of the most beautiful women I've ever seen were to be found there. Manley in Sydney has to be one of the finest places I've been.
For balance, the ugliest place I've ever visited was New York. I wasn't expecting that. I saw more things kind to the eye on the train to Heathrow than I did the whole time I was out there.
Regards,
Rob Philpott.

I have to admit I have very few regrets at emigrating.
Well, 2 to be precise.
Cold Xmases
Pubs
Only things I miss.

You don't need to; somebody's already written it down in the dictionary (next to lots of other words that begin with A).

Congrats on your move. All that sunshine will probably give you a darker color.

My lilly-white ass might turn redder, but bronzed isn't really my colour!

I wonder if there is a correlation between the Sunshine Coast and Gosford Girls.

Nice part of the world.. am lucky enough to get up there at least once a year for our xmas party (my company has an office in maroochy). Have spent some time in Mooloolaba & Maroochydore & Noosa... wouldn't mind exploring some of the countryside too one day.

Honestly,
Who would ever use a car that would drive by itself? Isn't the whole point of technology making life easier but still being in control? The whole point of human thinking is that if something is not always in him or her's control that they would not use it?
If I'm not in control about a situation I'd rather make the situation go away, and I would never use a car that would drive by itself because even if nothing were to happen to it, it makes me feel unsafe by knowing that if anything happens, I have no way to control it.

You enjoy sitting doing virtually nothing for hours on motorways/freeways or in traffic jams, scrunched up behind a steering wheel, without being able to put your feet comfortably or to shift your attention to something interesting, do you?
Me? Gimme a comfortable seat, without those bits of metal sticking out of the floor where I want to put my feet, and pass me a tablet.

Do you not see every day people who have no place controlling a tea trolley, much less a two ton lump of metal with a couple of hundred horsepower? Maybe you are a good driver, I don't know, but when I was commuting, the morons were everywhere, everyday.
Near blind, demented, drunk, asleep, on the phone, reading, disqualified, or just plain stupid - there are a huge number of people who shouldn't be in control, because they clearly aren't already!
Get used to it. A couple of years after it works, it will be illegal not to use "autodrive" control... and that will save a whole bunch of lives.

It is an undeniable fact that everyone is a good driver - it's (if I may borrow your phraseology) " the morons everywhere, everyday" that are the bad drivers.

Not me - I'm cr@p!
That's why I spend so much of my time watching what everybody else is doing, so I can not get involved in their accident...

Sometimes I have to take the car on Monday at 2:00AM to arrive at some customer workshop at 9:00AM, when that is the case, taking care of speed limits, finding your way with the GPS and driving in general becomes a sunshine.
In those cases, ONLY IN THOSE CASES, I would love the car to drive for me.
