He's done pretty well for himself for a bin man.

He was destined for another direction in life,the fact he had set out to travel the world,he was curious,he had a different path to follow.

He was a good hard working lad . He'd already travelled around the world for six months , before he came to work with me (and he loved oz ). He was my loader for almost ten years . We used to work together,  and train together . One day the manager decided to swap our teams around( and the guy they stuck him with is an asshole) , so he just left , and went self employed( he was already a qualified electrician).  He worked really hard , and managed to buy three houses . One day he decided to go travelling again , and met his Polish wife in nz.  They both got citizenship in Oz,  and he sold one of his houses here to get them set up over there.

Not too long ago , he bought a million dollar house out there . He still texts me every few weeks,  telling me to get myself over there for a month with the Mrs.  He said well go fishing on his boat every afternoon after work , and eat bbq fish and get drunk every night.

One of these days , I might just get a passport and go.

I'm gutted that he doesn't travel around now , because he used to bring me lots of cuban cigars , and French cheeses .
