bloody foreigners
I always told my wife that one day they would come.
Even though I lived here for almost 18 months without any of them, I knew it would happen.
She had thought that because none had turned up at all, she might be ok.
Then they all turned up at once.
1, then a pause, then 2, then a pause, then the same 2, and then a pause till the next 1.
Australians, all of them.
Staying in our spare room.
I feel sorry for my wife, she never truly believed they would turn up, and when they did they were everywhere.
Infesting my office like the ladybugs that also infest my office.
Partners of people from the Colonies should be aware of this, from here on in, my wife is going to have to get used to them all turning up and being in her lounge.
When my friends stop crashing with me, I am sure their kids will start. The cycle will never end.
That is just how it works.
My wife always said she couldn’t wait to meet my friends from back home, she stopped staying that when the second lot turned up.

This is the thing with Aussies in London – usually when you get here someone lets you doss on their lounge so when you get a place you are legally bound (by Aussie law) to let everyone else stay.
It tends to be only on London, though. You should do what I did to solve the problem … move to t’provinces.
Of course, I started in Leeds and that didn’t work because Leeds is brilliant. Hence, the move to Derby.
