Great news Andy.....better get ready for the shopping for winter warm clothing

It's been a long time coming...but at last you made it

[Doc Alan]

Just booked a ticket for the wife and stepkid to LHR £620.

Well done Andy

[andy222]

Thanks guys yes its been a long road but we got there..Many thanks to terpe bigmarco sheldon and the Doc for their support I think it would have been nigh on impossible without them.

[grahamw48]

Congratulations from me too Andy. Happy days ahead.

[grahamw48]

Hopefully I'll be shipping myself out in early January, if not before.

[andy222]

Thanks Graham and enjoy mate. I have to admit I will miss going over there 2 or 3 times a year. But then again with these prices who knows.

[grahamw48]

After I was wed and brought her here, we still went over there for 3 months each year...more after her ILR came through, which didn't take as long in those days.

Who wants to be in this miserable country in winter ?

Stop it Robbie. You're going to make me laugh, and I was just building up a self-righteous head of steam this evening.

[robbie bobby]

Actually I was told I am miserable AND tight.

so tight in fact that last time I dropped a pound coin I went down to pick it up and it hit me on the back of the head

[grahamw48]

Tight ?

Tight is stripping the wallpaper and taking it to your new house.

... now both you and Robbie have got me in stitches, Graham!

[robbie bobby]

That's a rumour.I didn't actually take the wallpaper,only the door handles and what was left of the toilet paper.

Tight ?

[grahamw48]

Toilet paper ?

Not that poncy shop-bought stuff ?

[robbie bobby]

No.I took it from the toilets at work so it was the industrial no name job.I took the light bulbs too!

i dont know if this is for a fuel stop somewhere or a different flight path. I have a flight north to Laoag at 7pm, so i hope there are no delays as I need to clear customs etc and get from terminal 2 to 3 and check in
