Many Thanks for the quick reply Phoebe... Agree that they have a nerve and should accept us warts and all, what with the amount we have to pay. Yep, it's ironic that our physical bits degenerate just as our minds finally start getting their acts together. lol Enjoy your surprise time with your daughter and grandson! Andy

Great news that they know the cause! I hope you're able to get the "final fix" sooner than the waiting lists suggest! If I may be nosey Phoebe, how does your condition affect your visa application? I'm guessing that taking the medical is a no-no until your problem is satisfactorily sorted? Can one's application be put on hold by one's case officer without having to go back to the start of the 14 odd months waiting period? The reason I ask is I'm hopefully within a month of being allocated my CO, and my temple-of-a-body has decided it's now a good time to start playing up! Had more than an hour session in the MRI, and will hopefully gets some results this week. Cheers, Andy

You are sooo lucky. When my girls and their families first moved downunder they lived in Melton of all places and we used to visit a beach in Torquay... think it's called Cosy Corner?... which is a really great spot! Since then, thanks to the Oz Govt grants, they've both built new houses across the bay. I can't wait for the big date to arrive. I'm 58 and have done a big move on my todd once before, moving from Jo'Burg to Blighty just over ten years ago, and that was one of the best things I've ever done... but sure it will be outdone by the move downunder. Will probably have to change career downunder, but hey ho it'll be exciting! Meantime, I'm living near Leeds, enjoying the remnants of our lovely summer... Andy

I know some Saffers who emigrated to Melbourne a couple of years ago. Although they had valid South African drivers licences of long standing, it seems like the Aussies know how easy it is to bribe corrupt officials in SA to illegally get a driver's licence. They each had to undergo only a practical driving test, but in the morning the chap was failed for driving too slowly and in the afternoon his wife was failed for driving too fast... they reckon that this particular examiner hadn't got it all that morning. They both sailed through their tests on their next attempt at a different testing station. It didn't seem to be like a normal full practical driving test, but rather part of a process to weed out those who have obtained their licence by illegal means while they blatantly have absolutely no idea how to drive!
