They then end up taking "I still call Australia home" 313 or else "Get Back..(To Where You Once Belonged)" 314

And by the way: If you ever have any hope of making it here, remember it is vital you do not order a cappacino after 10:30 am Why 10:30? Well prob cos that's when the breakfast menu ends
Reminds me of that Michael Douglas movie about the guy having a bad day.
