probably true Ally , with one major cost exception , I'm fully invested , I look at it from a " total income return on Australian investments pa " , this is my major reason actual cost in total .
In this case I'd be using an agent , all too hard just get the initial Visa , do it yourself next time , it's costing you emotionally , and in time and money , they will do all for you , just pay .
But certainly NOT " Me and my wife " , extremely poor grammar . The OP is from Australia , and there are many who would express as he has , it's use of the word " The " .
The Australian expression that annoys me far more is.." I stopped for a feed " , plus of course the cringe worthy chant , but none of that relates to this example .
I can still remember the guys load phone call quote " Ohh baby , just wait till I back back , I so horny , Im a gonna stick my C#ck right up , your A - hole , you gonna love it " ..
Sounds like my one and only maybe 15 years ago ? Didn't have the screaming kids , but FULL mini bus , crazy young driver trying to break records , overtake up hills as you could feel the van nearly tearing into bits ! Stinking body odor , some VERY loud passengers from Eastern Europe taking personal ( sexual ) phone calls at the top of their voices ..
NEVER again , and I have followed , never ever again , it's horrendous.
