Day: 2484 26th January 2011 australia day

It is here in Australia which is stating the bleeding obvious but I was asked yesterday if England have a public holiday which makes absolutely no sense at all. I shall now move onto my favourite topic, the weather which is currently cloudy but is predicted to clear up at lunchtime and become a sunny day. Have a great day off work, enjoy the sun, be safe and remember if you go to the loo then take your phone with you. read more

Day: 1253 13th September 2007 pr visa

Last week I reached the final stage of my permanent residency application to Australia, I now need to go offshore to an Australian Embassy to find out if it has been approved.

Australia could have got its nose in front in the eighth minute when Bresciano's shot from Kennedy's flick-on deflected off Demichelis' boot and into the arms of goalkeeper Roberto Abbondanzieri.

Thompson showed he was at home in such company with lively runs and a preparedness to take on defenders,... read more

Day: 1779 19th February 2009 citizenship test

I took my for immigration to Australia and passed with a score of 90% and I managed to complete it under 4mins when I had 45mins. I felt a bit sorry for the people who were already doing the test when I walked into the room and then 5mins later I was gone. From this time forward,
I pledge my loyalty to Australia and its People,
whose democratic beliefs I share,
whose rights and liberties I respect, and
whose laws I will uphold and obey. read more

Day: 1162 13th June 2007 queens birthday

Monday was a public holiday in Australia to celebrate the Queens 2nd birthday. It is quite funny as the reason for the 2nd birthday is for the British to celebrate when it is warm, the UK ignores it and Australia has the day off. I purchased an expresso maker and some very cool glasses which make your drink hover in the middle so the cup is not hot when you pick it up. read more

Day: 2440 12th December 2010 corrie 50 years

I have just watched last weeks fiftieth anniversary week of Coronation Street or Corrie as it has been dubbed by the fans. In Australia at the moment we have just seen John Stape kill Colin Fishwick and in England he is busy killing Charlotte so nothing changes.

In Australia we get a bagel with a runny fried egg, avocado and fresh tomato but Whitefield is not ready for that... read more

I have not updated this site in a long time, over two months actually. Foxtel (Australia version of SKY) are treating the viewers this EPL season to viewers choice.

Day: 2755 23rd October 2011 manchester united 1-6 manchester city

I went to my first Premier League derby today since I left to live in Australia and what a game it was. We inflicted Manchester United's worst home defeat since February 1955 as the boys thrashed United in ruthless fashion to go five points clear at the top of the Premier League. We're a unit - the players, the staff, the fans - and that is how we roll. read more

Day: 2600 22nd May 2011 horizontal

I have been for most of the day and before you say that sounds like a hard life then STOP. This is a dangerous hobby and has now spun fads like Planking which is the action of lying face down with arms to the sides of the body, I am more of a lying face up kind of person. On 15 May 2011, Acton Beale, a 20-year-old man, plunged to his death after reportedly planking" on a seventh-floor balcony in Brisbane, Australia. read more

Day: 2453 26th December 2010 xmas day

I went to Tanya and Neville's house for Christmas day lunch which was lovely. Security is so tight in Australia that even Santa got stopped and frisked by customs to make sure he was not trying to smuggle alcohol which is banned without a permit in Maningrida, about 310 miles east of the Northern Territory capital Darwin. Now that the festive celebrations are out of the way it is time for the real action to start, lots and lots of English Football. read more

Day: 2439 11th December 2010 melbourne weather

This is the satellite view of Australia and as you can see it is covered in clouds, apart from Perth where the weather always seems to be hot and sunny. The weather forecasters say there is no end in sight to the wet conditions and they predict it will be wet over Christmas and that it could be the wettest summer in more than two decades. We are getting some sun when the clouds break for a few hours each day but it is not up to the high standards that Melbourne summer has... read more

Day: 780 28th May 2006 aus vs greece

Thursday Night I went to Australia vs Greece in the MCG where the opening ceremony for the Commonwealth Games were held. The game was not the best , George Samaras had a bad first half and was taken off at half time, there was pressure for him to start the game as his dad was born in Melbourne and played for South Melbourne. The goal that settled the game (aus won 1-0) was worthy of the world cup, a superb volley. read more

Day: 472 24th July 2005 prom night

What started off as a drunken conversation between two employees of Lonely Planet over from the USA office for 6 months became a reality as LP Australia celebrated a belated prom for those who missed out.

Day: 2665 25th July 2011 train to leeds

After spending last week in a hotel in Leeds I thought I would try and commute from Manchester as my parents are away so it is nice and quiet here. I had to wake up at 6AM to catch the tram to Manchester city centre and I was quickly pushing my coins into the machine whilst the tram was pulling up.

Day: 2523 5th March 2011 cancelling foxtel

I have started to give notice on some services and Thursday was Foxtel night.

I finally got my replacement , well I say replacement I had to pay for a new one.

The weather here has been a bit cloudy and I have never seen so much rain in Melbourne. read more

I have upgraded my broadband hardware after using it for nearly six years. It is basically a 4-port Ethernet with on-board wireless capabilities plus it serves as a base station for a DECT phone which allows me to make and receive calls via both my standard line and my VoIP. I was using a $20 phone and 6 year old hardware so the upgrade basically means I get cheaper and better quality phone calls and I can download at a higher transfer rate, i.e. faster. read more

After such a short trip back to England and with hardly any sleep all week my economy return flight was not looking very appealing. 1st Class with via Hong Kong which is why I am dressed like a china man.
