    I'm thinking of fecking off to Australia or New Zealand, maybe permanently in the not too distant future. But one thing i'm worried about; Do they shorten every word they can like you see in the soaps?? Like.....Brizzy, Sidders, Rego (registration) etc. ??
    Cos that would really wreck my head after a while...
