EX PATS

[exile]

The more i come on this site the more i like the idea of becoming an ex-pat. Ive started to sky+ neighbours to pick up on the lingo and to give me some freeze frame wank material :D.
Seriously folks....how many ex-pats are on this site, were are you from in the uk, why did you do the hop to Oz etc.. etc..

Im seriosly thinking of taking a months holiday out in Oz to check it all out ;)

I'm an ex-pat, but a South Pacific Pom, not an atlantic pom.

That holiday is the best idea mate, a very cheap investment in your future mate.

Hereford boy here, now in the dam hottest part of oz, moving to melbourne soon, slightly better weather there

Woah Pete, Don't go too far down! Brissy's a good area for weather (apart from this week when it has gone spaz again). Yea Exile, even I'm from Cheltenham. Never realised just how shit that place was until I realised I was getting out of it whenever I could. I travelled the world (apart from the states) and this place had everything so it was an obvious choice.

There's a shop in Macquarie shopping centre (Nth Ryde) that sells all the wierd pommie sweets and crisps. (and drinks I think)

BLOODY CONVICTS.

[Gix11]

Yea, there's one up here as well if you're REALLY keen. And if you don't fancy the unreliability of the Gix11 shopping system, there's always: http://www.treatsfromhome.com.au/

[Jockney Rebel]

ahh Queensland , but its all the queens land tho init bloody colonials :}

[exile]

So not one of you lads miss the UK and all of its great traditions like drinking Belgium beer, eating dodgy Turkish kebabs or currys;)and of course the 2 days of so-called summer

[Gix11]

We do all of that without the 2 day summer bit. We have 365 day summer instead up here in QLD. Belgium beer is at the bottlo, kebabs are everywhere, and Indians are starting to appear everywhere as well. Why would I wanna live anywhere else?:
