It's a bloody nightmare trying to move home - it's almost like they've kept an eye on my rantings and don't want me back . We looked into it before we had E and it was a nightmare then. At least E is a "bargaining chip" to guarantee C gets a spouse Visa (apparently I'm not enough to get my wife into the country alone whilst searching for a job, but doesn't look like the Torys are willing to split up the "right kind of families" just yet). That and ironically the immigration laws relaxed last year for many countries wanting to visit the UK, so we don't have to declare a tourist visa anymore. If/When we move, it'll be to the Wirral, Liverpool or Chester. Anything within a short commute to family, which is 95% of the reason (getting my season ticket back is in the back of my mind too!) and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else, no offence to the non-North Westerners! We could stay in Switzerland and try and couch surf after June for another 6-12 months as the amount of benefits I've paid here over the years puts me at 18 months, but that's just going to be more of a stress.

Someone’s grassed you up on the ranting front, if the area’s you are looking at can offer you the work rewards you are looking for then great, sometimes things have a habit of turning out for the better mate.

I looked for 5 things: hairline, nose shape, ear shape, lip shape, and any markings such as moles/scars/etc. Granted, there's not a lot of time to really take in all of them, but I usually clung onto the most unique.

Palfy Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 I happened to mention yesterday about my age now I’m being bombarded with ads for Stannah stairlifts, talk about a kick in the bollocks to your thoughts I hate these ads when they troll everything you say or look at, I’m now expecting dating sites that require you to own a stairlift or live in a bungalow to come flooding through, wankers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Avenatti was her/her family's lawyer? That dude is scum. He's currently going to trial for extortion and fraud. I'm not dismissing the accusations against Carey or anything.
