Brit, relocated & naturalised in Australia. Equally amused by highbrow discussion and lowbrow humour. Lover of cats and chillies (not at the same time, that would be questionable)

My heart says I'm still in my 20's, my body is doubled-up with laughter (or is it aches & pains?)

Happy birthday!
Weird how we were in our 20's, then blinked and suddenly we're older than we'd care for

I go through phases of listening to them non-stop for a few weeks, then taking a break
Very much makes me miss London, despite it being a hole lol

It largely depends.
Most of the time I normally have beer or wine, but g&t done right is a great summer drink

I dont particularly like the taste of gin without something to temper it.
Can have a sip of gin to taste it, but need the calming influence of tonic for a proper drink.

Don't think I've ever drunk toner, accidentally or otherwise 🤔

Found a new gin a couple of weeks ago.
Ended buying a couple more bottles this week (trying to keep this one for a family visitor later in the year)

Poltergeist Gin, the pepper berry really makes this gin outstanding, and needs nothing more than ice & tonic water

Today's haul of eggs

My options were to apply for a new passport that I might use once or twice in its lifetime, apply for certificate of entitlement which costs about £589 (closer to $1000 here) or renounce citizenship (also about $1000)

Passport application cost me about $250, and posting my expired British passport & current Australian passport another $60.

Given the recent change in UK entry rules, I expect there'll be a lot of Brits scrambling to apply for new passports, so can expect a lengthy delay in getting mine renewed

Been here about 15 years now.
Been home twice, hoping to make a surprise trip later this year.
Dad turns 80 this year, but I'm going to miss his birthday, but aiming to come over for a short stay as a surprise

It was my wife's fault, she leant over to tell me to cover our son's ears during a raunchy bit. Ross saw it, and started talking to them, and they became part of the show🤣

Seen more comedy shows since I moved here than I did in London!

Went to see a few when they performed in Townsville
Got near front seats for Ross Noble; he spent a good part of the night picking on my son & wife 🤣

There's some dark jokes online recently.
The sort of stuff, as Gen X, I'd probably have told back in the day, and would be cancelled for now.
But if they're done ironically by younger gens (or Jimmy Carr)...
