      @Matty123:

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

      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.

      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.

          @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.

          Without getting political, I expect tighter border control and immigration laws to be a feature of the near future around the world.

                  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

                      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 😠

                            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.

                                  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..

                                        try virgin. on the right day, usually tuesday or wednesday, they can be real cheap. and on thursdays when they release their fare deals.. definitely cheaper on the east coast than west..

                                          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?
