Default It is Schoolies Time

Now it is that wonderful time of year when kids finish their school and go to Surfers Paradise, get wrecked on mass, get pregnant, get into fights, puke up and pass out. God knows what the Japanese tourists on my flight will think of it.

Last year the lovely kids at the local private school got hammered and caused $500,000 worth of damage to cars and property at Bondi. Watch where you go over the next few weeks.

Here in Perth they all desend on Rottnest Island. I think they have been given certain areas to 'party' in and aren't allowed in the more popular bits. They cause a lot of damage apparently?

Just what I was wondering, I bet the little b******s do.

BTW I kept getting errors replying to your PM, you'll either have 2 or no replies, didn't want to fill your box with angry swearing about the errors (in case they were getting to you) so I just gave up!

In case you didn't get the messages: I was just saying that I will write a letter to the case officer, it should be worth a try. I'd hate to lose out on a uni offer because they're taking their time. To be honest I'm more worried about failing my STAT!

I would love to be IDd again. It hasn't happened for years now.

I got IDd at a strip club a few months ago (don't ask!) the bouncer looked at my licence at said "You're older than me!" I was 24!

I still get regularly IDd in Brisbane and I'm 32! In fact I was out with a bunch of graduating students the other night (21yr olds), and I was the only one asked for ID.

Clearly not being sundamaged yet has its advantages
