we love to have friends and family come to stay and with the silly season coming, living in paradise, near a beach - the bookings book is filling up....however...

1. farken hate being the personal chef to them all ( don't buy the **** and don't like whats on offer - the mexicans down the lane...fark)
2. four days is long enough people - after that who cares - love ya butt
3. clean the bathroom you grubby bastards (thats the ** stains) - still love ya mostly
4. (1. add on) if you do cook... ask everyone if they WOULD like some too - after all the food in the pantry WAS NOT bought with only you in mind - mum.

Sounds like you are talking about stay at home teenagers adults

Dude... my in laws are coming for 2 FARKING MONTHS!!!! WTF is up with that sh!t?

I can't even stand them for an evening... well I couldn't when I last saw them 10years ago... But it still hasn't been long enough for me.

mate, id piss myself laughing if they read this.

We have a constant stream of "guests" who are mates of or have befriended my older children in their various travels. Its a reciprocal situation where the hospitality than I can give is probably still in deficit compared to the hospitality that we have received. I don't mind forking out for food and beer but certainly appreciate whatever contribution these guests can make... often by entertainment in tales of their adventures or preparing a meal that is their specialty. I think that the actual nature of a house guest is a cultural thing and as much as I hate to admit it, the young well travelled American is an excellent guest. The last American guest jumped up from his seat when he saw me carting in a load of shopping and raced out to the car to finish unloading. Whilst unpacking the shopping he suggested that I had the ingredients for a fine curry that he could cook for us and if I could point him in the direction of a bottleshop and lend him a car he would pickup some beer to wash it down. The English on the other hand are a bit more reserved and will ask if there is anything that they can do rather than just pitch in and do it.
For my mind there is no one who has taken more than they have contributed.

I think the record for us was eight weekends straight that people stayed at our house - all arranged by the Mrs. And towards the end the people from the early weeks were coming back!!!! WTF

Meant to become sudden best buddies with the husband / boyfriend and be the new uncle to the kids.

And all pretty well did fck all except eat and then wait to get fed again, sit around and ask stupid questions. Drink all your beer and wine, then contribute a six pack of Carlton Mid when all had run out.

Had to make up all sorts of excuses to escape to sister or parent's house. And actually looked forward to getting back to work on Monday morning.

All over now as I gave the spare queensize bed away and wheeled a piano in its place.

Ha ha - the leave behind the Mids guests.

Super smoove moove wheeling in the goanna in place of the queen.


My uncle's looking for somewhere to dos for a while, say.. a month or two.

He's a bit away with the fairies and stinks of urine but he's happy with a cardboard box at night. And he plays mean honky tonk on an upright.

PM me your address Diver.

...to the point of us discussing joining the couch surfing website...anyone heard of it butt???

Friends of mine are couch surfers and have hosted about 50 people this year. They say the majority are great people. I was at their place last night with a nice Chilean couple. Not sure how I'd feel about opening up my house to strangers, bit of a risk, but they love it. Most people offer at least to cook. I was surprised to hear that these latest guests were the first to buy toilet paper!

awesome bro, good to hear - yeah it's a risk, hell an't everything. next step is to get it passed by my girls...
