    Nope. Still in cloudy Kent. We're moving to Sydney.

    I don't have HIV it seems so now I'm just waiting for the embassy to pull it's finger out and stamp my passport or whatever it is they do these days.[/quote)

    Do you have to pay £10 and go by ship - through the Suez Canal? I know you don't but it's an interesting bit of history and I know lots of people who did.

    £10 Poms.

    When you've settled in, will you still contribute to the board and tell us all about house prices in Aus? :cool:

    Nope but I've met tons of them and most have really interesting stories, probably because they were adventurous types to begin with.

    Is that polite speak for "im sorry I hope to have a hell of a lot better things to do in Aus than sit about having the same old convo with the same old peeps on here" :D
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.

    Well I can either sit in front of the internet discussing what may or may not happen to house prices in a country I used to live in or I can go to the beach where there will be a load of beautiful women wearing very few clothes.

    It's a toughie.

    Maybe there's an Aus version of MSE. Maybe there's an opening to start one. :)

    Is that not a little risky, given the sensitive nature of your work?

    BTW Very lovely you both look too :)
