New Home Needed - 2 Stray Poms & 1 Pampered Chimp

Well, we're on the move again! Nigel and Kendi need their spare room back, so we're looking for somewhere else to park our rucksacks. We've been a little bit down on our luck lately, as Jamie has been struggling to find regular work.

At the weekend, Nigel and Kendi had a housewarming party. It was only a small do, as there were just 6 of us there - a friend of Nigel's from Brisbane came with his girlfriend. But we had some good food and beer (Carlton Draught is the best Aussie beer, I reckon (p.s It was actually Tooheys Extra Dry - Jamie)) and it was warm enough to sit out at the back of the house.

Later on, we went to a local pub, where Jamie got to watch the second half of the United match, so he was pretty chuffed about that! Unfortunately there wasn't a happy end to the night, Tim's (Nigel's mate) girlfriend got the hump with him because he was smoking Kendi's cigs and he was supposed to have given up; then I was refused entry to the club we wanted to go in as I didn't have any ID! Now, it's been a while since the last time that happened - I'm almost 26 years old for cryin' out loud!! However, it transpired that the bouncer was asking every woman for ID. He even admitted that I didn't look under 18. So I told him that he was sexist and full of bullsh*t, which didn't concern him in the slightest.

Wednesday night, we went to watch a stand up comedy show at the Metro Theatre called Il Dago. Basically, it was 4 guys of different nationalities, including a Sri Lankan called Nish who is also staying with Nigel and Kendi at the moment. We had free tickets that also included free food and drinks before the show which was nice! We were really impressed with Nish's performance and he handled it well when his microphone kept cutting out. But we ended up leaving early cos I was falling asleep (working full-time - it can't be good for you!)

Well, it looks like we're gonna have a fun-filled weekend, searching the 'net for somewhere else to live! Wish us luck - I don't think we could cope with any more bugs, floods, stinky carpets...
