That was quick. Hope mine is quicker! :p

Are you a pool based bluenose or did you escape while they weren't looking?

No never been a pool based bluenose. Southern boy through and through but have been up there for games. Been up your neck of the woods as I have a mate in North Wales so have done a night out in Chester and another mate who used to live in Wilsmlow. Nice county.

Adelaide has far better weather; Melbourne is a bit like the Crowded House song 'Four Seasons in One Day' (not 'I Feel Possessed' in case you're wondering ;) )

Hopefully will get a really really nice letter next week which means I can do my 176 app straight away. If not wil still be mopsing round on here for a while longer. The end is nigh Xzibit. :-)
Yay!! Congrats!! Hope it's for your 50 pointer.

Ok, I'll now rephrase my question lol, before it said positive, did it still have the document checklist? I checked mine again just now, but still says Active. :(

OMFG!!

Call it all off, I've only just discovered there are NO Krispy Kreme's in South Australia!! :eek:

I can't go and live somewhere that doesn't have one. I'm going to have to try Melbourne.

Ladies of Oz, why not consider xzibit as a potential Mr. Right. He's good at english and is NOT high maintenance lol.

PMSL!! :rofl:

I'm going to write an email to KK to see if they'll introduce the donut to SA. Although, I'd imagine they'd look at one and try and wear it.

If I was to think about what I'll miss most food wise then my mind is made up about leaving. Other than my local chinese, there is very little holding me hear (that I can think of). I'm assuming proper chipper chips are available over there!!!

The chips are, but don't expect any vinegar. When I was in Victor Harbor in SA, I went for some Fish'n'chips, and asked for salt and vinegar. I was met with a confused stare. I got salt lol. They don't have vinegar on chips over there I presume.

Also, in Melborne opposite the subway under the station, Lord of the Fries, now they were some good chips.

I won't miss anything food wise really, although I do like KK. But it'll be a treat when I visit civilisation like Vic, NSW etc.

There's loads in Melbourne. Had some at the airport whilst bored. Also, whilst at Melborne airport, I had a few free beers off some lovely Irish girls who went to the bar, ordered 8 bottles, then realised their plane was boarding!! They necked 2 each, gave me 2, and a bloke I was chatting to 2 as well.

OMG OMG!!!

I checked my Vetassess earlier, and it said active, now I just checked it again because I'm sad and can't wait, and at 05.40am Melbourne time, it has changed to POSITIVE!!!

Yay!

So now have Vetassess and IELTS. :thumbsup: Visa app as soon as I'm back from holiday then!!
