I am also SAD!
Being even more bored at work today than normal I spent 15 minutes trawling the Australian TV listings for the next few days. We definitely need to get pay TV! Even then, apart from the odd old sitcom and Rove the only things I could find to watch were sports.
I can't tell you how happy it made me to see that on Fox Sports 2, as well as premier league which I was already aware of, they show all sorts of other Pommy sports to ease my transition. Now I know with time I will migrate to watching AFL, NRL and all the rest but some UK sports will help me through the odd blue patch. So far I have found Super League, Touring Cars and best of all British Superbikes. Do they show anything else?

Supposed to be handing my job over for the next few weeks and hanging around until the end of October helping out
.How long before you leave?
Any decent comedies, while your looking? (Tomorrow will be fine)

The comedies weren't great. But we have been watching M*A*S*H on Paramount for the last few weeks and that was on. Also Friends and Frasier. But nothing to stay in for.
If you get desperate try here:

Fingers crossed the house exchanges quickly.
It's difficult hanging around knowing your going with hardly anything to do and people treating you differently as your leaving anyway.
Thanks for the thread, I'll probably start feeling very desperate within the next 2 1/2 months.
Luckily TV does not bother me too much, good job really with all that lovely weather, beaches, wide open spaces and sports facilities.
