Pet Peeves

This is true. And the sentiment probably still stands!

And speaking of which - as anyone who's footed turf will tell you, getting down to the toilet the morning after the first day is... interesting.

It's sure is 😆. Been a while since I've been in the bog. The family would have a few cold cans in an ice bucket. A cold can in the bog after footing turf is glorious.

Noted for future reference. Just in now, finished it thankfully. I'd kill a thousand men for a pint but I'm too tired to bother.

Moving country again. Came half way around the world to New Zealand, spend 6 years trying to stay here only to meet an Australian that wants to bloody move home  Trying to look at it as a new adventure but fuck me the organisation is a pain in the hole. Nevermind the bloody records!!

The birds are fucking driving me mad lately I keep waking up at like half 3 every morning and they are going hell for leather and I actually like the sound and all but for fucks sake lads could ye not keep it off until about 6 maybe

Thanks legend, I'm sure it'll be great once we actually get there, I'm just a bit overwhelmed so sounding like a miserable bastard  But it is great to be able to do so need to be appreciative and excited for it.

Eoin McLove might have a few tips on moving there, he did so 2 or 3 years ago, if memory serves.

I had a wren as an alarm clock a few years ago, every morning at dawn it started and I loved it. I'd lie there for ages listening to it before it'd occur to me to get up.

Might have to do Metal Warfare's first down under militia meet up. Southern Cross rippers

I had pneumonia when our house in Ireland was being packed so I had no hand in packing up my records. Six months later when they arrived they were jammed in to boxes, around a hundred to each flimsy cardboard box with a little bit of bubble wrap on top. How there wasn't thousands worth of damage done I'll never know, but I recommend maybe boxing them up yourself if you don't want them to be carnaged!

On a more practical level, once you're here, the accepted greeting first time you meet someone is  "fuck ya, cunt".

I wouldn't mind a few birds going hell for leather at me at half 3 in the morning

Similarly, my mum recently visited me here and in the care package she brought were some Toffee Crisps. Holy fuck they're about half the size I remember them!

Good luck man! It's such an exciting thing starting over somewhere, aside from all the admin bollocks you have to do. Is it a working holiday visa you're going on? Did you manage to get your NZ citizenship in case you ever want to go back?

[Mithrandir]

Thanks dude!! So I've to enter Aus on a working holiday visa and then when we arrive apply for a 'Partner of an Australian visa' which is apparently quicker if you apply from within the country. But will mean hopefully once approved I will get permanent residency. Expensive though, it's going to cost us about 10k Ausd to apply 😬

And yeah thankfully I'm a permanent resident of NZ which technically means I should be able to return freely no matter how long I leave the country.
