HEVYDEVY FORUMS

I've been thinking of going on a working holiday recently. I wish to escape from the UK for awhile, and find some new interesting places. However I need to earn money while doing this, as I have not a lot.

But, what I was wondering, if anyone here has been on one, and if so, any stories or good advice you'd be willing to share?

Thanks!

I was on one in Rio De Janeiro, and one of my kidneys got stolen by a man who looked uncannily similar to Billy Rhomboid...

Wow, you've been doing pretty well without them now. Or did you manage to get a replacement easily enough?

You can survive quite well on only half a kidney.

Wasn't me, Islands. I have never been to Rio. I am very fond of kidneys though. Devilled on hot buttered toast. With a glass of port and brandy on the side.

That's ironic.

Also you can't survive on half a kidney. You need at least one whole one.

I was on one in Avalon, and I got thrown into a giant apple destroyer by a man who looked uncannily similar to Billy Rhomboid. But it broke in record time. So I'm fine.

That was me. It was an accident.

working holidays, oh you europeans

Most folks I know that have gone on working holidays have gone to UK, so anything I have heard from them is not going to be a massive help I don't think.

I believe you can. My mother had a kidney removed and then a good part of the other one and does a pretty mean impression of surviving. I thought the remaining kidney-ette just expanded to cope.

And jest not, the destruction of giant apples is a serious matter here. Without constant vigilance the things can fall and roll down hills crushing dazed students who have just come down off their festival-high and blundered into town wondering how they missed the Stereophonics.

No, not every day is a holiday.
