Default We Are Aussie Bast**ds Now!

According to our Aussie mates who came to our ceremony yesterday we will now be referred to as ya Aussie Bast**ds.
Nice touch though: Our mate brought us a bag of "Australian culture" now that we are officially Australian. First the Aussie "slouch" hat came out followed by a can of Emu beer [we made an exception as she's from Perth] then the stubbie holder, then the meat pie complete with tomato sauce, next came the thongs, proper double plugger dancing ones, followed by numerous other little bits of Austr5aliana that we have began to take for granted.
I think the lady Mayoress that conducted the ceremony was quite impressed with the whole package, she presented our certificates and a couple of champagne flutes as a momento.
Highlight of the event was number one son who when asked to take a hold of the bible for the oath pulled away his hand exclaiming "Aghh it burns!" kind of broke the ice nicely
Had an excellent day thanks to all you guys who turned up and stayed respectably sober until the officials left

Did you get your beard trimmed specially, Sean?

Best wishes from us and all the family, who were very entertained by your Aussie-isms ....next time you have a 12 year old pommie lass to stay remember she will be surprised if you talk about wearing your thongs on your feet Good thing she stopped laughing in time to learn how to cook the bbq!

He's a great guy actually - my nephew (2 years younger) first met him a couple of weeks ago, raved about him till they met up again, they spent the whole evening(and possibly the night) staring at various screens - playstation, pc, playstation, gameboy, playstation, etc and then swapped email addresses (while playstationing with the other hand of course!). Nephew doesn't praise eaily but he was well impressed with Cresta Junior.
Scary thing is that my sister approved of him as well, which is usually the kiss of death to teenage friendships isn't it!!

Nope I remembered to comb it......... I even found some Christmas cake in it
I was looking at the only other photo's of me [on the Birmingham meet thread] the other day & aside from a few more grey hairs and the lack of a quiff I haven't changed that much in 5 yrs. Here's another one singing the Aussie anthem, yes I know we're feral none of us had shoes on!

Oh by the way the BBQ you guys had was genuine Aussie tucker, the steaks were Kangaroo the patties were Ostrich, everything else was lamb or pork, I was kidding about the Possum & the Wombat, were saving that for next time
We should have done the citizenship thing a couple of years ago when we first were able to, we've been putting it off as Deb would have liked her parents to have been here. Needs must & without citizenship we didn't have much of a say, nor could we afford the impending Uni fees.

PS Ast. you need to moisturise mate it stops the itching, once your past the 4/6 week stage it stops.
