Larry takes the lead with 16

6 months in a place certainly qualifies, as does different houses in the same suburb.

^I'm likely to double Larry's total! When I get time I'll count.

great topic. I have lived, and worked in 5 states of Oz, and I have lived at 41 different addresses over the time. Suffice to say, I hate moving. I am also amazed that at my age, I can remember them all!

Mate, that is an epic effort, but I think we need a list here, not just a random number to be acknowledged as outright leader.
