We arrived at Perth international and got in the passport check queue. Lee went through first, fine. Then i rocked up with my passport and next minute the girl started shouting immigration... I was a little flushed... I could see panic on Lees face as he watched the immigration man come over. Id forgot to put ELLEN on my visa! The man fixed it in the system then I was good to go.

There was an Irish girl on the bus who'd lost her passport. She was telling us of the charges she'd been issued by the police to give her the form she needed to apply for her temporary one.
