Re: NEVER thought I'd say it, but I'm goin home!
ALTHO! ... it IS a good point!
I've been up and down the Strand (and I use that as THAT'S a place I would ALWAYS see the homeless late at night) and I just don't recall seeing any! ...
Thinking about it more now tho, I HAVE seen ppl sleeping in doorways of shops all over actually, but maybe they 'spread out' more now ...
Must admit I haven't been to Surfers for a while, maybe they're all there! ...

Re: NEVER thought I'd say it, but I'm goin home!
(Completely random post)
I don't know a lot about that Amy Winehouse. In Oz I hear 'this and that' and 'Rehab' is bounced about on the radio, but prob about as far as it goes ...
Anyway, i've heard a track of hers at 2 friends over here since arriving and the bug has bit! ... love it! ...
Lyrics have no relevance to me, just like the song ...
Amy Winehouse - Valerie.
Incidently I had a couple of NME guy's in the cab the other night and overheard them saying they give her 6 months tops before she's another Kurt Cobain!
How sad!
Edit: Just see attached song is over 5mb so don't touch if you're on dial up, prob not worth it, altho you never know! ...

Oh and just to rub it in ... :curse: ...lol
This is what my dream was all about and TYPICAL an ideal candidate pops up on eBay! ...
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....link:middle:au
Spec fits,
Location for pickup fits - Brissie (on eBay it could be ANYWHERE in Oz),
Sale end time fits as I'll be back in 9 days,
Expected final price (from little research to be honest) would've been in my range!
One day tho! ...

Keep posting, you are not talking to yourself - there are loads of us that are wishing you well and checking to see how you're doing

Re: NEVER thought I'd say it, but I'm goin home!
Never rated Kurt Cobain personally. Amy Winehouse could be brilliant but is more likely to be dead long before that happens. She has a great voice but.......
Totally off topic but can anyone explain to me how Pete Doherty is still not behind bars (the metal variety). Serious question.

Re: NEVER thought I'd say it, but I'm goin home!
Oh and I haven't checked post counts for this thread for a few days and apart from a few regular's I seem to be talking to myself ...lol
At last count the thread was getting 500 odd hits a day so someone IS reading it, even if not posting, which is fine ...
I'm happy half of the time TO talk to myself so all good ... but I just wanted to justify to myself that altho I have started sitting in a corner, facing the wall, mumbling to myself and pulling funny faces ...
I AM actually quite sane at the moment ...

Yes the pic of curry with Pat WAS taken a little late I must admit ...lol
You know I WAS gonna go to the old parks we used to go to when you was younger and grab a few pics, but to be honest it's all about time to do it! ... or not really having it! ...
As you know I've just got off the phone and have a few things to sort out here, and then it'll be dark and I'll be off to work!
See how we go.
Yeah Lee Evans WAS good when we see him, we'll have to wait for the DVD, and altho it aint the same, it's still good ... it'll give Kurt sommit to play to death too! ...
Oh and when you log in next put a tick wherever it goes to 'remember me' and this shouldn't happen again!
Speak soon missy ...

Re: NEVER thought I'd say it, but I'm goin home!
Well another day, another dollar! ... well, pound technically I spose.
10 hours, good money, but still not enough to get the thing I keep goin on about ...lol. I made an extra £90 on top of target for today, but these targets are JUST to get us straight. Not sure what I'll get for £90 in the way of a tinny, maybe just settle for a few crates of tinnies! ...
Still, if I can't get flight changed (and goin with that) I have 8 more sleeps till I board that plane. I have no worries about the flight back as I'm almost def gonna sleep for the whole journey!
Bring it on! ...

Todays pics.
Lower Regent St looking up to Piccadilly Circus, imagine the leccy bill! ...
The Spaniards Inn, been around since 1540 which is almost as old as the buildings on the Gold Coast ...
And THIS THING (pic not brill) is an electric car. They're actually quite popular, but A BLOODY PAIN! ... as they take forever to get goin ...lol.
Maybe you don't pay road tax, maybe you don't pay the congestion charge, maybe you don't buy petrol, maybe you'll get there!
I just wonder whether they'd take off in Oz with their V8 loving mentality! ...lol

Re: NEVER thought I'd say it, but I'm goin home!
I can see the benefits, but you look pretty stupid in one I reckon. NOT quite sure what it is as them Smart cars aint much bigger, and they look ok'ish, but these to me REALLY look one step up from this:

Where did you get a pic of my car from
Only kidding, mine's the model down from that (Holden Barina )

Re: NEVER thought I'd say it, but I'm goin home!
Just one thing I wanted to mention.
London is the new Poland I'm sure! ... they're everywhere!
I don't see it a prob, other then I hear Polish all the time, and I hear they're hard workers so that can't be a bad thing, but when we left there was a lot of Eastern European's about, but back after 20 months and at times I look around and it seems 50% of people are from that part of Europe.
I DON'T judge people on colour or race, I do on simply how they are with ME. If ok, then I reciprocate and all good, but having people around me speaking something other than English to me is rude, and I've had this heaps of times since coming back. Everything from in the back of the cab to the local supermarket, ppl talking in another language, what are they saying about me? ...lol, but why ?!
When in Rome?
I remember goin to Victoria to the passport office to get new passports before we left. We got the job done and hit the local KFC ( ... it was a time thing ok!!) and while I stood in the queue EVERYONE around me was talking in about 3 or 4 languages! ... straight up! ... and you know none of them was English!
I dunno, but I prefer it in Oz where pretty much all I hear all day is English, albeit a bit of a bastardized version at times! ...
Greezy hair! ... WTF! ...lol
