Actually I may be more of a grumpy twat in reality than I present here. I’m pretty positive around here because it’s 99% a positive place and I like to do my bit to keep it that way.
You're the most cheerful Norwegian residing scouser I've ever met.. and the only one

Just curious @neph93 …. have you ever laid down a rant on this thread? My intuition says “no way. Homeboy keeps it positive.”

I should probably vent a bit more as it may keep my blood pressure down. For example I’ve just been to the supermarket and could have cheerfully maimed about five people.
The sun goes down for a month. ??? The real surprise is they aren't all axe murderers.

Thanks @rocket.
The chances are that the visa will be through in a week, that's the "75% are processed in this timeframe" timeline. But if there's a problem…
@neph93 it's an awful lot easier in the EU / EEA, or at least it will be for Brits up until sometime next year or whenever the transition period ends.
I need a passport for Canada. Not to enter Canada, to reenter the States. Arrrgh.
Hope it works out @Graeme -
… it's a privilege to be acquainted with such a fucked up individual
Pleasure's all mine

If you've got the money to by a jeep or 4x4 at least invest in driving lessons to learn how to park the thing you pricks. If they are indeed a 'status symbol' then your (facebook) status must be 'lifelong committed dickhead'…having tried to park a car today with a 74 year old victim of domestic violence as my passenger, only to find available parking spaces being taken up by huge knobhead wagons taking up 2 spaces

In all transparency, my wife and I both drive pretty large SUVs, but before we get her new cars, we make sure she can park them… some easier than others - My tundra was a royal bitch to park anywhere...

I live in Texas. Around here, the default vehicle for men is an F-150 and women seem to always be driving a Yukon/Denali/Suburban/Escalade. I suspect most parking lots have had the spaces redrawn to reflect that. All I know is that I usually have at least two feet on either side of my Accord when I park.

So I put in an application for my Residents Return Visa, and it's issued to me within a minute.
That's… good?

The problem in the UK is most people learn to drive in a tiny little hatchback, and parking is a minor part of lessons and the test.

It is, apart from the Fish 'n' Chips excuse being no more.
Incidentally, the cheapest flight to LA involves a 14 hour layover in Fiji. I think that might fall into that's good too.

i don't think the size of the vehicle is an issue. have you tried parking in asia? the parking lots there are way smaller and yet people still drive huge vehicles that can park. compared to western countries where they spaces are much bigger and people take it for granted..

The problem in the UK is that people buy ice white Audi 4x4s and black range rovers with blacked out Windows, but don't come equipped with either a brain or sense of social responsibility.

Gentlemen of this fair sceptred Isle, it is not really very ok to remove your shirts and tuck them into your shorts while drinking cheap lager in the high street at 10am, or as it happens, any other fucking time. The fabric of society…I misplaced it, has anyone found it please?

@der:
QFT. I lived in the north and on the first barely warm day, the phenomenon you describe phenomononenenened.
Basically, work was cancelled for the day for Shirtless Lager in the most public manner possible.
@der Anschiss there was a time when this phenomenon only seemed to apply to skinny 17 year old reprobates and fat 53 year old football hooligans. It now seems to apply to every other male and his grandfather
