Morning Fraser. How'd you manage the 10000 miles?

We have yet to have a proper honeymoon. Can't think of anywhere I wanna go!

why not those counties? I have FAMILY in nearly every one of them. I also notice that your favourites are not on the list!

England in summer would be gorgeous. When I'm over my Euroshock, Spain and Italy and southern France.

Ah. So you knew before you married that you might want to live in Oz?

No, it's a long story but I ended up in hospital in Bangkok with kidney failure and I met an Australian girl who looked after me.

She visited us in London and as I was most of the way there I wanted to visit her in Melbourne.

Rachel could only get so much time of work so I went alone, that was my first visit and I fell in love with Melbourne.

We then visited together 2.5 years later, which is when we decided to try and emigrate, that was 3.25 years ago.

No offence to Rachel meant but why didn't you marry the Aussie girl?

Isn't it funny how life twists and turns?

Funny indeed, who know's what would have happened but i doubt if I would be here in Oz or chatting on BE.

I was in a relationship with Rachel when it happened, I was in the ICU when Nicole went to my hotel paid my bill so that she could get my insurance details and she then found my phone book and Rachel's number and phoned her in work and said "hello you don't know me but Fraser etc....."

I'd known her 36 hours and she paid my bill out of her own pocket so that she could help me as the hotel weren't going to let my stuff go they thought I wasjust another pissed farang.

They could have been smoking though.

The fact that they hadn't a cigarette between their lips and/or fingers didn't prove they were non-smokers.

I'll be watching like a hawk as I haven't got any work again.

I've worked the last 3 days in tempretures of 50c in the back of the containers and now from next week they've changed the pay from $21 an hour to $32 a container.

Yesterday I would have earned $50 for 6.75 hours work as all the stuff was mixed different pallets and all that
