Immigrants and emigration

Grandad January 11th, 2009

I wasn’t going to write anything today, as nothing has really happened. 

Until now.

The house has filled up with foreigners again.

I am banished to the back room, so I might as well be messing around on the Interweb as twiddling my thumbs.

Once again, this crowd arrived without any warning.  I don’t know where Herself gets them from, or even more important, what she is using them for.

They arrive.  They mill around making a lot of noise, and then they vanish again as suddenly as they came.

I find it unnerving, and so does Sandy.

I though all the foreigners has done the sensible thing and gone home?  God knows, no one in their right mind would want to stay in this boghole of a country unless they had nowhere else to go.

I have applied for a permanent residency in Greenland.  I believe it’s warmer there and they are heading towards independence so there is a fair chance I could be elected.  Also the population is around 60,000 so there is a damned good chance of winning the lottery.

They don’t have many tourists, so I may have to develop a new hobby.  I’ll have to arrange for a regular supply of Guinness too.

I might even get myself one of the local 4WDs?
