Citizen Gedge
So I filled in the forms, paid me money and turned up at the office today.
"So Mr Gedge, what are your responsibilities as an Australian citizen?"
"Urr, um, er..." my mind went blank, I just read them a minute ago, all I could think of was the jokes we'd made about drinking aussie beer, throwing shrimps on the barbie, not joining the barmy army etc...
With a bit of prompting we got there. She gave me lots of ticks on the form and didn't laugh at my photo, so with a bit of luck I'll be an aussie very soon.
