What to do when feeling homesick
 
I had a pint of Fosters, no I couldn't work that one out either and now I'm stuck in some space time continuum loop thing. Was nice though, think I'll have another one

Can at my local, it's better than some I've tasted here, VB and Emu for example. I want the cans more than anything

Watch an episode of Coronation Street

That'll sort you out - one way or the other

Is going home the answer, I am seriously considering. My situation 2 1/2 years in, kids & wife love it and I have never been so depressed in my life. Even though I know the problems in UK I did enjoy my life there and altho Perth is a beautiful city there's something big missing from my life. I feel like I'm in solitary confinement, don't like work (tied in on a 457). Its like living back in the 60's with freezing house half the year and a sweatbox the other half. Struggling to find an interest with Gym being best to date.

Don't burn any bridges, just a quick trip back might do the trick.

Not actually feeling homesick myself, was just pointing out that I was in Australia, drinking an Australian beer that You can't generally get in Australia, but used to drink regularly in England. No need to be concerned :lol:

Australia isnt for everyone by any means, a lot of people return home.
