Whitefield Firestation

Whitefield Firestation

When my sister asked if we should call the local fire station to see if we could go in for a tour I laughed at her, do you think they have nothing better to do?

I went to Marbella in Spain last weekend as it was a public holiday on Monday in England so I popped over, as you do to see two out of three of my nephews.

Back to England

I came back from Spain on Monday and after a 60 minute delay and then my luggage taking forever to come out I finally got to bed at one in the morning only for my alarm to go off five hours later for me to go back to Leeds.

BoB

I have upgraded my broadband hardware after using it for nearly six years. I have said goodbye to my D-Link and said hello to BoB. BoB stands for Broadband in a box or should that be BiaB?

Australian citizenship

Australian Citizenship Ceremony

I am now finally an Australian 1975 days after leaving England and what a great night it was. I was sat between an Indian man and a Chinese woman and we made the night both enjoyable and fun. People from over 20 different countries became Australians tonight and I was only one of three people from the UK. We sang songs, we waved flags, and we applauded when people went up to collect the certificate and plant.

Aus vs Arg

PR Visa

I think the reason I am not updating this website as regularly as I used to is all down to FaceBook, although I wish people would stop sending me links to useless applications. There are far to many developers out there with nothing better to do. 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. On Monday I am going to fly to New Zealand so fingers crossed I will be back by the weekend as a permanent resident of Australia and only 12months away from my dual passport.
