Re: What to do when feeling homesick
Went back to England for 2 months from mid-May to Mid-July and it just convinced me that our future is back over there. Just got to convince the Aussie wife though.
Everyone is different, with different interests and priorities. BTW, forget Fosters. Get yerself to Dan Murphys and get some Bombardier or Adnams Broadside. Proper Beer. |

Re: What to do when feeling homesick
I've never been homesick since being here, only people sick and nothing helps that, you just have to deal with it. When I went out to Perth in the early 80s, just leaving the airport made me want and need England desperately and I was only going to be there a month in theory.:D Can't imagine needing Fosters though, not in any scenario. :lol:

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.
I know what you mean about the cold our house is freezing in the winter and it's to expensive to heat like we would back home. Our standing joke is after June we don't want to go to the loo until the end of November as it's so cold. |
Re: What to do when feeling homesick
Yeah Fosters was one of CUB's lesser tipples which was sold to British company SAB Miller so is British owned. Strangely, the rights to make it in the UK and Europe are owned by Heineken.:confused: After Carling it's the 2nd most popular drink in the UK. Vic Bitter and Carlton Draught better.
We've got a pretty good solution to homesickness - 9 months in Scotland and 3 months in Melbourne every year. Not a viable solution for most but works for us, particularly as we get no more than 1 month of winter p.a.;) |

Did any of you notice the unopened can of VB in the background?? |
