You know your a British Expat Forum addict when-
- You have read all 62 pages of the Banana Diaries.
- If your computers broken for a week you suffer withrawal symptoms similar
to a herion addict going cold turkey
-You wish Pommie Bastard was back.
-You actually bother reading Mike Stanton's post telling you not to immigrate
to OZ because the world economic forum says the inflation rate is 0.68%
higher down there then the UK.
Can anyone else think of any others?

Re: You know your a British Expat Forum addict when-
LOL! Tell me about it!
Before now Ive signed my work colleagues' e-mails off with 'Cheeky'
Luckily I have realised just before Ive sent them......gosh try and explain my way out of that one! lol!
Also no-one else in my family can get on the puter.
A typical day for me goes something like this......
Get up, grab a cuppa and cornflakes, log onto BE, read posts inbetween getting 2 kids ready for school.
Then go to work, come home, grab a cuppa and log on again....
Pick child up from school (eldest catches the bus) come home, cuppa and BE..
(This is not good, do I really come on here this much! )
Then I will prob be on and off all evening.......
Oh heck, (stands up) 'my name is Cheeky, Im 35, married with 2 kids and yes Im addicted to BE' (sits down. 
)
Merry Christmas!

You get in from the pub at midnight on a Sunday (having been there since 2pm) to discover that you really, really have to log on and see what's going on ... And that typing is really, really hard ...

Every time you log in at work, you expect to find that britishexpats.com.au/forums has been "firewalled" for excessive use :scared:

When you have got so used to posters that irritate you, they have now become a source of amusement and entertainment
