So very close...

Anyone from the UK want to marry me?

I've just been checking out my visa possibilities - I have 90 points, out of a necessary 95.
Which means I am 5 points off getting a highly skilled migrant visa for England next year. 5 points!

This does not seem fair.

Looking into it, the only ways I can increase my points are:
a) get a PhD
b) get experience working in the UK (without getting a visa beforehand...)
c) convince my boss to pay me more money

Personally, I think it'll be a lot easier if I just circumvent the whole process by marrying someone with a British passport, and get my visa the old-fashioned way...
So: I'm young, I'm attractive, and I know how to cook. Any takers?

I am indeed a rail engineer.


As far as washing machines go...
Aussies look on in wonder at overseas television. Americans have washing machines in their basements (they have BASEMENTS), and Brits have them in the kitchen. Both of these are just weird and incomprehensible.

In Australia, pretty much all of us have a laundry somewhere in the house - function being purely as a place to store brooms, buckets, flyspray, bits of string, AND THE WASHING MACHINE.

My laundry is tiny, and apart from the washing machine and a big cupboard, it is purely there to house my cat's litter box.

You would find laundry rooms in newer, or bigger, British houses, but the older/smaller ones tend not to have them, hence all the appliances being in the kitchen.

We would probably think of a house with a separate laundry as being rather posh.

Whereas we'd think of a flat (a flat - you'd NEVER get a house like that) without a laundry as being rather insanely small.
