Just a few old favourites...
Diary of a Pom immigrating to Perth, Western Australia...
August 31st: Just got transferred with work into our new home in Perth!!Now this is a city that knows how to live!! Beautiful sunny days and warm balmy evenings. What a place! I watched the sunset from a deck chair on the veranda.
It was beautiful. I've finally found my home. I love it here.
September 13th: Really heating up. Got to 35 today. Not a problem. Live in an air-conditioned home, drive an air-conditioned car. What a pleasure to see the sun everyday like this. I'm turning into a sun worshiper.
September 30th: Had the backyard landscaped with tropical plants
today. Lots of palms and rocks. What a breeze to maintain. No more mowing lawn for me. Another scorcher today, but I love it here.
October 10th: The temperature hasn't been below 30 all week. How do people get used to this kind of heat? At least today it's kind of windy though. But getting used to the heat is taking longer that I expected...
October 15th: Fell asleep by the pool. Got 3rd degree burns over 60% of my body. Missed 3 days of work. What a dumb thing to do. I learned my lesson though. Got to respect the ol' sun in a climate like this.
October 20th: I missed Kitty (our cat) sneaking into the car when I
left this morning. By the time I got to the hot car for lunch, Kitty had died and swollen up to the size of a shopping bag and stank up the $3,000 leather upholstery. I told the kids that she ran away. The car now smells like Wiskettes and cat shit. I learned my lessonthough. No more pets in this heat.
October 25th: The wind sucks. It feels like a giant bloody blow dryer!! And it's hot as hell. The home air-conditioner is on the blink and the AC repairman charged $200 just to drive over and tell me he needed to order parts.
October 30th: Been sleeping outside by the pool for 3 nights now. Bloody $450,000 house and we can't even go inside. Why did I ever come here?
November 4th: its 35 degrees. Finally got the ol' air-conditioner fixed today. It cost $500 and gets the temperature down to 25, but this bloody humidity makes the house feel like it's about 30.
Stupid repairman.
I hate this stupid place.
November 8th: If another wise arse cracks, "Hot enough for you
today?", I'm going to strangle him. Bloody heat.
By the time I get to work the car's radiator was boiling over, my clothes are soaking wet, and I smell like baked cat!!
November 9th: Tried to run some messages after work. Wore shorts, and sat on the black leather seats in the ol' car. I thought my arse was on fire. I lost 2 layers of flesh and all the hair on the back of my legs and my arse. Now my car smells like burnt hair, fried arse, and baked cat.
November 10th: The weather report might as well be a bloody recording.
Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny. It's been too hot to do anything for 2 damn months and the weatherman says it might really warm up next week. Doesn't it ever rain in this damn place?
Water rationing will be next, so my $2,000 worth of palms just might
dry up and blow into the bloody pool. Even the palms can't live in this heat.
November 14th: Welcome to HELL!!! Temperature got to 38 today. Now the air-conditioner's gone in my car. The repairman came to fix it and said, Hot enough for you today? My wife had to spend the $2,500 house payment to bail my arse out of jail for assaulting the repairman.
Bloody Perth!!!!
What kind of a sick demented idiot would want to live here?
December 1st: WHAT????? This is the first day of Summer????
You are f * *king kidding!!!!!!!!
A bloke was speeding and a young cop new on the job pulled him over.
The cop says, “show us your license please”, and the bloke replies, “I don’t have a license I lost it for drink driving”.
“What?” Says the cop, “give me a look at the registration of the car then”.
The bloke opens up the glove box and says, “it’s not in here”, and "I don’t know where the owner would keep it. It’s not my car; I stole it about an Hour ago after I robbed the bottle-shop for more grog. I tend to do stuff like that when I’mbleep& excited".
“What are you so excited about? You’re about to go to jail you moron”.
“Well I’m very excited because I just killed my wife and I’m off to bury her right now, her body is in the boot.”.
Sensing he needed backup the young cop radioed for the Sergeants help.
The sergeant arrived and the young copper explained the situation.
“He said he is drunk and… and… stole the car and robbed the… the… bottle-shop and killed his… his… wife and… and… and… hasn’t got a license and… and…” puffed the young copper
“Well well well” said the Sergeant lets put you on the breath tester shall we.
The bloke blew .00
The sergeant was a little puzzled but did a check on the car anyway. The car came back as registered to ‘the bloke’ who then produced his driving license.
The Sergeant was even more puzzled so he did a check and no bottle-shop had been robbed that day?
“Ok Ok just pop open the trunk and let’s have a gander inside there mate,” the sergeant said. So the bloke opens the trunk and it was empty and even neat & tidy?
The sergeant looks at the young copper and shrugs his shoulders?
The bloke says, “Clearly this young copper is a liar. The next thing he’ll probably say is that I was speeding.
Mujibar was trying to get into Australia legally through Immigration.
The Officer said, "Mujibar, you have passed all the tests, except there is one more test. Unless you pass it you cannot enter Australia."
Mujibar said, "I am ready."
The officer said, "Make a sentence using the words Yellow, Pink and Green."
Mujibar thought for a few minutes and said, "Mister Officer, I am ready."
The Officer said, "Go ahead."
Mujibar said, "The telephone goes green, green ..... green, green and I pink it up, and say, 'Yellow, this is Mujibar.'"
Mujibar now lives in a neighbourhood near you, and works at a Telstra help desk.
