British Expats - The Official Loners Thread

HOLY F***ING SHIT!!!!! I JUST GOT MY VISA!!!!

On another note, its good to see my little thread doing so well! After I got knocked back for my last application I couldn't ring myself to keep posting in case I jinxed things, what a twat.

Haven't looked through the thread yet, any of the old crew still about?

Hi Steve - great news mate. I remember that feeling - I was almost in tears of joy! What's the plan? Where you heading? When? Sorry I've been pretty sh!t at keeping track of plans. Now you can go get hammered. Enjoy!

yep still around and waiting for your sorry-excuse-for-a-wingman-ass to show up so I've got someone to talk to about these disgraceful, horny, gorgeous sydney women!

Get on the plane, sucker!

but in the meantime i'll cope!

in serious news - been here just over a week, looking for work, and living with family a bit further out of sydney than i'd like. Things are moving though, interviews, freelance work.. will probably find a flat in next 2 weeks. Coogee still the plan! Refitted CBH beer garden is definately a key selling point! I'll check it out this weekend, going to stay at Bondi for a couple of nights - hostelling it up!

so i'll report back, get a couple of kegs on chill, and start chucking them shrimps on barbies ;)

Oh so you want a whole room to yourself eh??? I was saving a lovely spot under the kitchen sink!

It's great to see so many people getting out here in the next couple of months...As a lot of us are in NSW I reckon a loners meet is in the offing :D

Cool, nearly there now. Was out at one of the meetups last night. They are all really cool people. You should all consider once you get over here.

Wow, well done on the visa Steve.

I got a CO today. Requested meds and pccs and my sponsors citizenship cert, as I forgot to upload it when I applied :rofl:

I'm going to Adelaide, so won't be meeting anyone in a hurry! :(
