I dunno. Probably Murphy's law.
Don't worry though, I'm aiming to be back around October/November next year. If I can. I already have about 100 quid saved for it.

Good use of the word 'quid'
You learnt a lot whilst you were here then!

I have to stop myself saying "sweeties" when I mean lollies,
and fags for ciggies, and twat when I mean fuckhead.
Otherwise I get confused looks.

You picked up loads when you were here!
Have people said your accent has changed? My sister lived in Aus for 5 years and sounded 'weird' when she came home (granted, this is a lot longer than your UK visit)

yeah it's a little clearer, but nothing else has changed.
I think it's cos I had to really make sure I rounded out the words properly so everybody understood me, cos I was constantly going "Wha?" aand they'd be like "Wot?".

Have you made your applications for your final year of study yet?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 14 Feb 2011, 1:04, Reply)

why? It's only first year here in like two weeks.
I was going to organise it through my uni once I get there.

True.
But I'd imagine places were popular, and the sooner you make your 'international' intentions known, the easier it'll be to get a place.

hence why I was going to get it sorted once I get to Uni. :P
I can't do anything from where I am.

Well I wish you well with your efforts.
But seriously, would you want to work for the NHS?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 14 Feb 2011, 1:39, Reply)

Have to work for somebody.

True but with less management and more money spent on the front line
Is could be twice the service.

I'm not knocking it (I'm grateful for it), but the French NHS is run on half the budget and is twice as efficient.
