I’me sat here swigging whisky and had something to post. I’ve just managed to work out how to do it and I’ve forgotten what I was about to say! I’ve been chatting to SDU lately. He knows the story with me. Me and the Mrs will be over in Engerland by Friday 25th and hiring a car, so look out for the stupid bloody aussie type causing mayhem.

We’ve got enough crazy people on our roads, no need to be importing more 
Ah, avoiding that harsh Aussie winter, by coming here in the UK summer?
Pack your winter woollies.
And waterproof clothing/footwear
its been 23-24 degrees here last few days i was even tempted to scare my neighbors and put shorts on
@peterm We’ll catch up when you get back, mate.
@zac_a I better stay put then.
@franglais 'Tis a harsh autumn so far, I’m dreading winter. Forcast top temperature for tomorrow is a freezing 19⁰C 
@cooper1203 Nobody likes a show-off! 
That’s nuffin. It was 9 yesterday when I got up. That’s why I’m so 'ard,
You’d best be staying home for most of June. 
While you’re in Blighty, I’ll be inthe big smoke. It’s a bit warmer there.
Yep, if it’s a typical English summer I’ll be freezing me balls off. I don’t know how the wife’s gonna go.
What’s a typical English summer like? Sounds like Zac’s got nothing to worry about.
Less cold and damp than a British winter.
Normally.
We might call London the “Big Smoke”, where are you referring to?

North side of Brisbane. I should have said massive smoke.
Oakey is my little smoke, Toowoomba my big smoke and Brisvegas a place I try to avoid.
Same here. Writing a load of crap to make more than 20 characters. Apparently full stops (periods) ain’t characters.

Well you’ll all be really pleased that we’re back. Seriously though, it was ■■■■■ We made a grand entrance at Heathrow by falling backwards down escalators. Carted off to Hillingdon hospital in separate ambulances. What a ■■■■ hole that was. Discharged ourselves and got a cab back to Hertz at Heathrow to pick up the hire car. I still had blood all over me and the bloke behind the counter must have though I was Jack the rippers grand son.
Drove to a mate at Crawley where my Mrs got ■■■■■■ and fell down the ■■■■■■■ stairs a day or two later.! East Surrey hospital at Redhill this time. Luckily she looked a lot worse than she was. Looked like she’s done a few rounds with Tyson. Hired a narrow boat from Chirk. ■■■■■■ down with rain almost all the time. The rest of the holiday was cold and wet until two days before we came home. Everywhere we went was crowded, driving standards have gone right down the tube. Flight there and back with Emirates was good, but the 14.30 hour leg between Brisbane and Dubai and return was a bum acher. Never been so glad to get home as I was this time.
Forgot to add: The hire car was a Kia xceed… what a ■■■■ heap. Our old 2001 Magna runs rings round it for comfort and quiet.
Lights flashing on the dash, bells and gongs driving me nuts and electric steering that pulls you around on the road because it thinks you’re changing lanes! Did I say I didn’t enjoy meself much?
So relieved they let you back in.
Welcome home. I’m at Bridgeman Downs until mid July.
My sister and brother-in-law are now in the UK. Their cruise had to find a sheltered harbour in north Greenland. The ship encountered 11 metre waves.
This was ftom their actual cruise.
G’day sport. Mid July eh. We’ll have to sort something out. My old dad spent weeks in Greenland when he was in the merchant navy during WW2. They were chucked out of the convoy cos they couldn’t keep up. His ship must have been a right old banger.
